Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Do you have a family recipe that has become a tradition? That one recipe you only get to enjoy once a year? For me and my family, it’s my mom’s cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. I grew up with my mom making these every Christmas morning, and only on Christmas morning. ( Why just on Christmas?) They could be enjoyed any time of the year! Maybe that’s what makes them so Special.

My mom, AKA Nana, continues making them every Christmas morning for all to enjoy, and our boys have also come to know this tradition. It really wouldn’t be Christmas without them. I always look forward to eating one every Christmas morning, and I will cherish even more the Christmas mornings my mom is in our kitchen making them.

Nana’s Christmas Buttermilk Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

5 cups flour

Two teaspoons of baking powder

1/3 cup sugar

Three packets of dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm water

1/2 cup butter

1 Tsp Baking Soda

2 cups buttermilk

Cinnamon

How to make:

Sift flour, sugar, and baking soda together. Add buttermilk and mix well. Gather into a ball and let it rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

When ready, roll out the dough until it is a large rectangle. Spread one cube of softened butter on the dough, and add more if needed. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon (don’t be shy about cinnamon). Roll into a log and slice into 20 pieces.

Preheat the oven to 350F, bake for 20 minutes, and then frost with homemade icing or drizzle on warm. You can also rub on melted butter as a substitute.

Simple Icing Recipe:

4 ounces of cream cheese (softened)

¼ cup of butter (softened)

1½ cups of powdered sugar

One teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl.

Mixed until creamy

I love it with just butter, but almost everyone loves it with the frosting.

Friday Favorites and Sale Recap

Hello, pretty ladies,

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me, and I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? With the Holidays fast approaching, it snowballs. November is my busiest month, with my Holiday Home decorating business, Styling clients, and blogging business—not to mention all the personal list to-dos! I’ve learned some tricks that help keep me organized.

Shop this Photo Below:

Tips and Tricks to Staying Organized

I have learned to take a day at a time, and lists help me. It’s essential to have a weekly to-do list and break it down into daily parts… I highlight what I don’t finish that day and make it my first thing for the next day.

If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day, which can set your week up for failure. Instead, Make a priority list, a List of Things I would love to do, and an “If I have time” List. Break the priority list into items for each day. I have used this daily “Paper” calendar by Day Designer for several years.

Then, when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day versus causing stress. Let me know if you try this little life helper or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your weekly goals. What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it?

If you would like a more personal and closer connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my newsletter. You can sign up HERE. I send it out every Sunday.

Three Cute Tops To Wear With Jeans

Hello, Pretty ladies,

Today is a short and sweet styling blog post! I know you’re going to love these tops like I do. Remember that saying when your girlfriend asked, “What are you wearing?” and we would say, “A cute top and jeans?” I’ve got three cute tops to wear with jeans from Chico’s.

Let’s Get to the Details.

I am wearing the same jeans for all of the outfits below. The girlfriend’s slim, straight leg is by Chicos in a dark wash. This is a great fundamental Jean that fits the actual size {For reference, I am a size four and get a Chico’s size 0.} and looks excellent from casual to dressed up. If denim is allowed, it is a beautiful option for workwear.

The Three Tops

I chose three tops that you could quickly wear for workwear, styled with a blazer or cardigan, but today, I have styled them to meet a girlfriend for coffee, lunch, shopping, or cocktails.

Classic Satin Top

#1. Classic Satin button-up top paired with leopard accessories and Julie Vos jewelry and layered with a third-piece cardigan over the shoulders.

This look has a classic feel, with its pretty cream pallet, but adding a pop of leopard makes it fun and adds texture and interest. Remember, accessories can make or break an outfit; simply not adding them is wearing a look, not styling a look! Add your personality and have fun with your accessories.

Shop the Look Below:

Leopard Bow Top

#2. Leopard button-up top with a Bow tie—leave hanging or make a bow; this top is so fun yet has a very 80s workwear vibe, but the leopard makes it current. Zimmerman had a similar one in their Fall collection, which was stunning. Chicos’ version is slightly toned down at a fraction of the cost. I love it!

Red accessories make this look pop. I love pairing red or fuchsia pink with leopard for that fun element.

Shop the Look Below:

Black Flocked Top

#3. This black flocked rose print sheer button-up top is great for date nights or cocktails with a girlfriend. Wear it with a black bra, or add a black cami underneath for more coverage. This shirt’s hemline and button detail resemble a cropped jacket, making it slightly different from your average button-up top.

This allows you to wear it open and layer a pretty camisole underneath tucked in, as well as a great belt, for another styling option.

The flocked rose detail is beautiful and makes this top easy to dress up. Pair it with trousers for a dressier look. Black suede booties and gold accessories

Shop the Look Below:

Three little black dresses: by Jude Connally

Hello Pretty Lady,

“Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you’re willing to do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” —

“Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day!”

I am lucky to be doing what I love, and I have you, pretty ladies, to thank for that! Thank you for being here and supporting my small business. Whether with a like♥️ on social media, a comment, a DM, shopping a link, watching my stories, or reading a blog post, each helps me do what I love and share with you. I appreciate you.

Living stylishly and looking good at any age is a passion of mine. I love helping you to do the same! With the Holidays approaching, I thought I’d get a jump start and start sharing Holiday looks with you. Just in case you needed a little Holiday outfit inspiration for the upcoming party season,

Today, I am sharing Jude Connally, a newer brand to me. Let me tell you, I am in love with the quality, fit, and darling styles. I even have a 15% off code to share with you. Use JDARCY to save 15% off your purchase.

“At Jude Connally, they believe in making women feel good and look great. Their clothes are designed to fit and flatter every body type, with vibrant colors and prints that express your personality. Jude Connally is more than a clothing brand; it’s a lifestyle.”

Here are my picks for the perfect three little black dresses for you to look fabulous this party season.

Party season, the Holidays, cocktail parties, winter weddings, the theater, or even a cruise. These three little black dresses will have you looking and feeling great.

Ella Dress

#1. Ella dress stretch velvet with rhinestone details – I am in a small, head over heels for this short-sleeved- tee- shirt-inspired dress! With an easy fit, the Ella dress in velvet will be your new go-to this season. Featuring chic studded detailing on the front. Whether dressed up or down, it flawlessly combines timeless charm with modern chic.

Paired with a classic black pump, mine are Sam Edelmann, a simple and affordable clutch by Quilted Koala. You could do black for a classic and simple look or choose metallic silver for a fun, festive pop. Save 20% with code DARCY20. The jewelry is kept simple, as the rhinestones on the dress are enough sparkle—one simple rhinestone bracelet and a great simple rhinestone drop earring or even a large stud. Mine are vintage drop earrings.

Hair Tip: When you’re styling an outfit versus just wearing it, you consider what hairstyle works with the dress and flatters you and your outfit. Here, the updo works and allows the dress to shine. Sometimes, when a dress is busy, wearing hair down adds to the busyness

Franca Dress

#2. Franca Dress– Jude Ponte with feather-trimmed sleeves fits tts in and makes a statement this season with our stunning new shift dress, Franca! Featuring 3/4 sleeves with eye-catching feathered cuffs and a classic crew neckline, this chic dress combines timeless elegance with a playful twist. A must-have for your wardrobe!

Finishing this look off with a pop of color, fushia tweed shoes by Madison Masion and a velvet tulip bag by Cecelia New York

Hairstyle tip: With the simple neckline of this dress, you really can wear your hair in several ways: down and full, straight and sleek, half up, or even in a low side knot or pony. It does depend if you add an earring you want to show off as well; with this dress, you could wear a statement earring and pull your hair away from your face. (I will be doing just that as soon as I find the fushia statement earring I WANT)

Shop the look: Dress| Shoes| Bag

: Party Season Style

Maureen Dress

#3. Maureen Dress—Jude Ponte has a Halter neck and Bow detail

Step into the spotlight with our new super chic dress, Maureen! Featuring an elegant high neckline with an adjustable bow tie for added sophistication. This stunning style is a must-have for all your holiday parties, offering a perfect blend of modern elegance and festive charm! It fits true to size, and I am the size small.

I finished off the look with a pair of rock-studded Valentino pumps, which make a small statement but don’t overpower the bow detail of the dress. I took the gold stud from the shoes as inspiration for the jewelry and wore black and gold bold jewelry from Julie Vos. This perfectly finishes off the outfit.

Tip: Another important detail when styling a halter-style dress is to let the halter, and in this case, the bow detail, be the star. Wear your hair back off your shoulders, either in a chic ponytail, bun, or top knot.

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I can’t believe we are in October’s last couple of days, and Halloween is tomorrow! How did that happen? This also means that Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, which inspired today’s blog post. 12 Thanksgiving outfit inspirations to inspire you, whether you are cooking all day and like to be cozy and comfortable, entertaining a small gathering and casual but a little elevated, or your family tradition is to get dressed up. Maybe you are somewhere in between. I have created some cute outfits that will fit all of the above.

Suzanne, Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie, who is new to our new group, are joining me today on our monthly blog hop. Each lady will feature something related to Thanksgiving, such as a recipe, table setting, or outfit inspiration. You’ll want to ensure you head to their blogs and see what they share. I am excited to see what they share, as I know it will be fabulous, as always. I’ve linked their blogs at the end of this post. I know they would love for you also to leave a comment to show you stopped by.

Thanksgiving outfits, I am sure, will inspire you

12 Thanksgiving Outfit Inspirations from Cozy, elevated casual to dressed up. No matter how you like to spend your Thanksgiving day, I have an outfit inspiration I think you’ll love.

I posted a poll on Instagram asking what style you wore on Thanksgiving, and it was a tie for Cozy outfits and elevated casual for the most requested outfit inspirations. This didn’t surprise me, as we have become such a casual society. I know so many cook all day, have football games or head outside to play a family ball game.

I cook all day for our family, including family and friends. Please give me a good reason to get dressed up. Having a pretty table and using my china make me feel I need to dress the part. That said, I tend to dress up a little, even if it’s just a sweater and trousers or a silk blouse and trousers, which can still be comfortable. Last year, I did wear a dress. I had so many pretty clothes for the season, and it was a shame not to wear them.

Cozy Outfit inspirations

Below, you’ll find four great options for being cozy and comfortable while still looking put-together and chic. These looks are affordable and can be mixed with other items in your closet to mix and match all season long. A couple of these looks are also great for Holiday travel, as that always seems to be something people need inspo for.

I can even picture a few of these outfit looks outside playing flag football with the family!

I was styling this viral Amazon comfy, cozy, soft, oversized hoodie and baggie jogger set. Perfect for FALL, it comes in sizes Xsm to 2xl. Easy to Elevate this set with a few easy tips to look chic and comfy. Great for travel as well. I styled it on Instagram with a Coat View here.

Elevated Casual Outfit Inspirations

Fall outfit inspo

Here is one of my favorite elevated casual outfits featuring pieces you can use for work wear! I find myself grabbing these pieces weekly.

My favorite go-to jeans of the season are Risen jeans. They fit and feel like premium denim at a fraction of the cost. They are under $70 and fit true to size. I am in a 27 for reference.

The mixed plaid blazer in shades of fall has been a favorite go-to for a couple of seasons now. Unfortunately, it’s unavailable, but I linked this year’s version with the same vibe, fit, and colors. It fits true to size. I got a medium so I could layer sweaters under it.

Cable sweater Turtleneck sweater by Banana Republic factory. It’s so soft, fits true to size, and is the perfect shade of camel that works with so many fall outfits. Mine is a couple of seasons old; I linked you a great option with the same vibe here.

Leopard accessories are a great way to add interest and a pop of pattern to an outfit to make it interesting. My go to Belt and these large buckle leopard kitten heals are so good, I can’t stop wearing.

Chloe tote in perfect shades of black, tan, and cream.

#9 Leopard Skirt outfit

It is a great way to wear a leopard skirt dressed up for the Holidays. I wore this look to church last week, as I love dressing up for church; it allows me to be creative and use pieces in my wardrobe that I love to wear yet don’t have a lot of places to wear. This Amazon finds leopard skirt fits true to size, Paired with a Black Pumiey bodysuit that also fits true to size; I love how a bodysuit is fitted and doesn’t add bulk, especially with a flowy skirt with an elastic band. Another styling must be done when wearing a bottom with an elastic band, and you must make sure you add a belt. Here, I added a wide chocolate brown belt with studs to cover the band, flatter the waist, and add interest.

A Chocolate faux leather jacket, which fits true to size, is a great “third” piece for any wardrobe. A third piece is that layering piece that adds interest and layers to an outfit, taking it from drab to fab. It’s a great tip to finish off any outfit. Here is the same Moto jacket in chocolate suede by Chicos.

Accessories

Great styling, but it comes down to adding interest with accessories. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it: accessories finish the outfit and add interest to your style. I purchased these vintage suede Mary Jane heels with stud details over 25 years ago. I fell in love with them, and I adore them now. Mary Janes is having a big moment this year, which is one reason I tell my clients to save certain items, especially if they love them. Some older or Vintage pieces in your wardrobe keep your style from looking like everyone else. It adds character to your outfit, especially if you can bring pieces out that might be on trend again; yours will be that unique piece that stands out just a little bit more. Here is a similar pair of Mary Jane heels.

Speaking of vintage, I pulled out another piece from my archive, this great multi-chain statement bib necklace I purchased 15 or 17 years ago from Bauble Bar. It’s technically not vintage yet (something needs to be 20 years old to be labeled vintage.) This outfit would have looked great with this Julie Vos chunky chain necklace. I also love this multichain statement necklace, which made a big statement and made the outfit fabulous. Need a multichain statement necklace? I found this one HERE to finish off your look.

Julie Vos’s earrings and a ring complete the look. Shop the earrings, bracelets, and rings.

A Few Fall Favorites

FallA Few Fall Favorites

Hello Pretty Ladies,

It’s officially Fall! Wow, I think that was the fastest summer ever! I love summer and Fall—my two favorite seasons—and they seem the shortest here in Utah! Fall means my birthday month is coming. I have my Fall bucket list ready and am looking forward to crisp mornings and evenings and the stunning shades of the season.

Today, I am sharing some fall favorites for our monthly blog hop with Suzanne, Cindy, and Dawn.

I will keep this one short and sweet! Below, you will find all the fun things I want to share, including my family’s favorite recipe for this easy pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe and a few things you could have missed. (I’ll be sharing the sunflower field later next week.)

Sharing a great Fall transition outfit, you can easily style multiple ways, and I thought I would share with you two ways to style it by just switching out the 3rd piece. Here are the details:

Sale Alerts: Chicos wide-leg crop pants are $44 and perfect with a bootie. The pants fit tts. I am wearing a size 4 Chico’s size 0, which pairs perfectly with a bootie for Fall.

-Bootie is a Dolce Vida two-tone with a little Western vibe (last year), linking similar Here

-Olive button-up Amazon find

-The Amazon denim shacket jacket is slightly distressed, affordable & fits tts, and is perfect for summer to fall weather

-A necklace, a vintage horn

-Hat is by lack of color

The 2nd look is everything above, with the jacket switched out to the ivory Denim jacket by Chico’s
