Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


“East Coast Summer” Capsule wardrobe.

“East Coast Summer” Capsule wardrobe.
 
A collection of Classic Summer staple pieces that give you the feeling of Coastal Breezes, East Coast -“Nancy Meyers” Vibe. Pretty Details, Patriotic, coastal, Farmers Markets, Gardening, Farm to Table recipes, Outdoor dining, Flea Markets, and Treasure Hunting. If this is your Vibe, you’ll love the pieces I’ve put together to create these feelings of an East Coast Summer. It’s a “vibe” perfect for Summer and the 4th of July.

Pretty Sun dresses, linen shirts and pants, white jeans, patriotic sweaters, stripes, lobster print, Eyelets, and small florals paired with sun hats, straw bags, and neck scarves are classic, Preppy, a touch romantic, and very coastal. They are also perfect for the 4th of July outfit inspirations. 

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Last day of June, Man, how fast did that go by? I seriously felt like I blinked, and it was over! Summer is finally here in Utah, and Today, I have a TV segment on Good Things Utah, and I thought with the 4th of July Holiday here on Friday, as well as my love of all things Nancy Meyers, Martha Stewart, and Ina Gardner. It would be fun to share everything I love in one capsule wardrobe, perfect pieces to mix and match for the rest of summer, not just the 4th of July.

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a beautiful day being celebrated. Today, I’m sharing what I’ll wear to church and brunch with the family, along with a little Mother’s Day message.

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built. Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so proud of and thank God every day for. But also the home we opened up to others. The family came from friends, and the children we’ve been so blessed to have.

A Family is something you build, not something you’re given. Having a whole home, feeding others, opening our hearts, and being a safe space brings immense joy. I am grateful every day for those in our lives and a part of our “FAMILY,” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Mother’s Day can be hard for some, with their mamas no longer with them or having difficulty becoming one on their own🙏🏻🤍 My heart goes out to you! You’ll be in my prayers🙏🏻

Happy Mother’s Day, pretty ladies, and may your day be full of everything you need it to be.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re at the end of April and heading into May? That happened so fast! I’ve had a lot going on since the beginning of the year, and I’m finally starting to feel like I’m seeing the light. With May starting tomorrow, that means Mother’s Day is just 10 days away, on Sunday, May 11th. I haven’t made any plans yet, but I’m looking forward to finally getting my pots and garden planted, as Mother’s Day marks the start of the growing season in Utah, when it’s safe to grow without a major freeze. Hallelujah! 

I’ll share more about my garden, including my weekend garden shares, tips, and other updates, in future posts. I do have a great Garden Gift Ideas blog post up here, if you’re interested. Do you have a garden-loving mom?  I am sharing several of the items I love and use. 

Today, I have our monthly blog share with Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie. We’re sharing all things Mother’s Day! Today, I invite you to join me and my mom featuring NYDJ, where you can share moments with us and discover top sellers on sale that are chic, on-trend, and comfortable for all ages. Even better, they are on sale and make great gifts for the women in your life.

I also have several gift guides I’ve created with items my mom, I, and several of the women in our lives love to receive as gifts. I genuinely think I have something for every woman in your life. This would be a great blog post to save and reference anytime you need a gift for a lady in your life. NOTE: I also have additional information available on my Liketoknow. it. HERE

D’Arcy’s Outfit

Two basics you’ll want to add to your wardrobe, you’ll style so many ways and wear on repeat! The prettiest shade of pink Laren button-up top in beautiful silk. Fits true to size; I am in the small. Paired with NYDJ Light wash, slightly barrel jean, the leg isn’t too barrel that it’s a great width if you’ve been wanting to try but don’t want it to be rounded-denim in a size 4, I would say, size down, these are a little too big on me, I needed the size 2.. but super comfy and a great relaxed fit. (That Jean, you would wear every day) 

Styled with all Julie Voz Jewelry Necklace, earrings, and bracelet stack 

A Walmart find: raffia/straw loafer with a horse-bit detail, true to size, and under $30. Paired with a gold metallic belt.

The oversized shirt boasts a stylish denim look, but it’s crafted from cool and breezy lyocell, which lends it a lightweight drape. Tailored menswear details, from a point collar to long sleeves with button cuffs to a back yoke, keep the design classic. I would Size Down in this top. Mom paired it wth these Mona Wide Leg Trouser Ankle Jeans, which also run one size smaller. She loved how comfortable this outfit is, and adored the shade of pink. It’s both our favorite color, in this shade.

The Anywhere Dress: Little Black Dress Style

The Anywhere Dress: Little Black Dress Style

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Did April fly by as fast for you as it did for me? I am looking forward to warm sunny days, which means dress season is right around the corner. Everyone needs a dress you can take anywhere and wear for many occasions, depending on how you style it. I’ve found you that dress.

New dress launch

This is the dress you can take anywhere. Wear anywhere and Style in so many ways. I love the little flutter sleeve detail and support without a bra. The three-tiered skirt of this dress is flattering and not too full! This darling black sundress features a ruffled Flutter cap and tank-style sleeves, has pockets, and is available in three sizes, fitting true to size. I am in a size small.

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

As the weather gets warmer and spring rolls in, it’s always a good idea to switch things up and refresh your lifestyle. It can be something as simple as brightening up the dining table with a new springtime appetizer, such as tulip baguette bites. A previous post guides you through this easy-to-follow recipe that requires a few simple ingredients, including French baguette, cherry tomatoes, basil, chives, and spreadable cheese.

Aside from introducing new additions to your menu, springtime presents the perfect opportunity to update your wardrobe. To start, you can experiment with the latest spring dress trends, ranging from a cherry red palette as a fashion statement to boho chic vibes characterized by flowy fabrics, ruffles, and fringes.

Whatever trend you plan to incorporate into your everyday look, it goes without saying that a spring outfit wouldn’t be complete without footwear. Shoes not only enhance your style but also serve a practical purpose for comfort, so here are footwear options that balance fashion and function and are worth adding to this season’s wardrobe.

Leather sandals

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

If you’ve become tired of wearing thick, chunky shoes during winter to protect your feet and trudge through the snow, it’s time to let your toes breathe by wearing leather sandals. While sandals have always been a warm-weather staple, you can elevate your style for springtime by looking into different leather finishes, straps, and cutouts.

QVC’s curated shoes section has a wide range of chic sandals to choose from, such as Clarks Footwear’s Laurieann Bell, which features a round toe and an adjustable strap for lightweight and comfortable wear. Meanwhile, White Mountain’s Hardball slide sandals in white have double straps and a cork midsole, making them perfect for casual brunches with friends or a picnic at the park.

Ballet flats

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Ballet flats are expected to be the it-shoe of 2025, especially with luxury brands like Alaïa and Gucci releasing their own takes on the classic flats for their spring/summer 2025 collections. Whether you opt for Alaïa’s bejeweled flats or Gucci’s strapped styles, these shoes are a must-have since they’re versatile and can be styled with wide-legged trousers, denim jeans, and slips and dresses.

However, if you’re planning to be out and about this spring, it’s worth considering the ballet flats from luxury label Patou’s collaboration with Japanese sportswear brand Onitsuka Tiger. The flats blend Patou’s distinctive feminine style with the sleek playfulness of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers. Made of Nappa leather and available in a pink and black colorway, these shoes are ideal for springtime walks around the neighborhood.

Spend Your Spring in Comfort and Style with These Must-Have Shoes

Kitten heels

Lastly, those looking to add a more feminine touch to their wardrobes can opt for kitten heels, which help you look equally chic and comfortable with the slender, low-mid heel. Like the aforementioned sandals and ballet flats, kitten heels have been around for decades, popularized by the French fashion house Dior.

However, they’ve emerged in modern, reimagined styles in recent years, as seen in celebrities like Ariana Grande and Sydney Sweeney. Grande wore her white kitten heels with a bow detail and lacy tights, while Sweeney looked effortlessly stylish in a casual tee, mini skirt, and open-toed kitten heels from Miu Miu. You may also find affordable options of this side-walk friendly heel on Charles & Keith, with their contemporary designs ranging from thong sandals to slingback Mary Janes.

As you strut into spring with these fabulous footwear options, consider checking out the other blog posts here at Dear D’Arce for more fashion inspiration.

Easter Dress Outfit Inspiration Styled 3 ways.

Easter Dress Outfit Inspiration Styled 3 ways.

Hello Pretty ladies, 

March is flying by, and Easter is just around the corner! It’s a little later this year, falling on April 20th, giving us more time to share Easter inspiration. I have a few blog posts you might like to check out: Table settings, Easter basket inspiration,  Carrot Cake Recipe Easter recipes, and Outfit ideas that might inspire you.

Today, I thought it would be fun to share a darling floral Gibsonlook dress that is perfect for Easter, styled in three ways.

When thinking about adding a piece to your wardrobe, I feel it’s important to ask yourself, “Can I style this 3 ways?” If you can, that’s a great piece to incorporate in, as you already know three ways to style it

Today is also our monthly blog hop share with Dawn, Cindy, Stephanie, and Shelley🙂 I’ve linked their socials and blogs at the end of this post.

9 Fresh Looks For Spring With Chicos

9 Fresh Looks For Spring With Chicos

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I am excited to share this Spring collection with you today. I hand-picked pieces from Chico’s latest collections to create this Spring capsule wardrobe. You can build some basics and add a few spring statement pieces with a touch of on-trend pieces to keep you looking current. These pieces will also mix well with pieces you already own in your closet. I love you could easily pack these outfits for a trip and mix and match them to create multiple looks. 

Fresh pieces for spring are on trend and make great wardrobe builders that mix and match well. Add to your wardrobe pieces that you’ll wear on repeat and can take you into Summer. You’ll love the bold colors paired with fresh whites and pieces that take you from the weekend to the work week.

Spring Collection  Tips

This collection would also make an excellent travel wardrobe capsule. Its Fresh looks for Spring are also great wardrobe builders. I hope you enjoy my picks and how I styled them today. Over the next few months, I’ll feature these pieces styled differently to give you more inspiration.

I thought it would be Fun to share some moments that make my “favorites”❤️

🚨Come Back Next Saturday to see what made my list….

Today’s “Summer Moment”
Exploring the state we live in..
Ben and I have always loved embracing where we live, by getting out and exploring..
Doing stay-cations, pretty drives, enjoying the great outdoors and exploring fun little towns and the charming small business that fill them.

We love a good day date and Midway, located outside of Deer Valley, is a charming 🇨🇭Swiss town, that we’ve enjoyed bring our family to for years. 

It’s evolved over the years, (know for hosting “Swiss Days” 🇨🇭 the first weekend in September), is full of darling small business, from Cute gift & home decor shops, farm stores, several delicious restaurants, a charming book store, and something our family loves several farm to table shopping and eating establishments. 

If you love to support ranches, farmers and small local business, this is a must visit town. 
⛰️Surrounded by stunning mountains, green pastures and gorgeous ranches. 

Here’s a few of our favorites:⬇️
@havenhaus_co 
@ballerinafarmstore 
@thedaintypearco 
@folkloremidway 
@midway_mercantile 
@hebervalleycheese 

The @zermattutah is our favorite Charming  Swiss 🇨🇭Hotel to stay at, and our boys always loved they’re pool in the winter😉

Tell me, what’s something you do in the summer to make “moment’s”?

Come with me as I redo my porch from Summer ☀️🪴to a little pre-Fall🍂

Using Great Basics.. that makes it easy to layer in Fall in a couple of weeks✔️

I love these Weather safe woven baskets, that makes it easy to change out your plants and flowers per the season.

Using boxwoods now and will switch to mums in a couple weeks.

Striped rug to layer in black and white is a great  base now and will look great for fall 🍂 layers with a large welcome mat. 

Boxwood wreath with black and white striped bow and a welcome sign above.

Adding layers of iron lanterns… I’ll add  fall bows later. 

Clean-Classic and a perfect transition look before the fall season. 

Come back next month to see how I transform our porch to FALL🍂
