Barbie Color Mixing for Fall

Pink is a great transition color. It’s a color we often wear in the Summer, last year we saw it in a lot of Fall fashion and we will again this year. Pink looks great on every skin tone and pairs well with shades of Fall. Mix pink with creams and browns, and bring those summer pieces into your Fall wardrobe. I have a fun Reel to watch HERE

Think neutrals, feminine and a little flirty, in shades of Pink (blush and Hot pink), creams, ivories, and browns. Shades that look beautiful in the Summer yet transition into fall with a breeze. Barbie🌸 loves floral, pretty details, a good ruffle, and attention to detail in clothing and accessories.  Gibsonlook has launched a new Now and Later collection that fits right into my theme and several of their best sellers in the perfect shades of fall.

In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

Hello pretty ladies. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I headed to the Nordstrom sale with my sweet friend Cammi, From Cammi’s Happy Place. We had fun shopping at the sale, doing try-ons, and having dinner at the Nordstrom grill. Have you eaten at a Nordstrom grill inside of Nordstrom? The food is always so yummy, and they give you refilled drinks in to-go cups, which is always a plus in my book. 

As you know, I love to share wardrobe builders and great classic pieces from the sale with just a couple of cute and fun trendy pieces. This is a great time to pick up some of the premium denim and more design pieces at a great price, as they usually don’t go on sale any other time of the year. 

I searched the racks for items that would make for great basics and pieces you’ll wear on repeat all season long and for years to come. That is still in stock in both stores and online. Many Premium denim sells out fast, but I found some great pairs still in stock in all sizes and great fitting. Nordstrom does restock often throughout the sale, so it is worth checking back often if you have your eye on something that is sold out. 

Below is 4 outfits I created with all In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Spring Trends are perfect for Easter at any age. 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend was what you needed it to be. Ours was laid back, and I did get a lot of work done, which felt great. Today’s blog post is in conjunction with the Fashion Fix Tv segment I created for Good Things Utah today. Live at 10:00 am Mnt. Time. Stream it from anywhere by clicking HERE. 

 Watch the Tv segment=  link to Watch 

I headed to my go-to shopping center, Station Park in Farmington, knowing  I could find what I wanted to create the looks for this segment. Evereve, H&M, Old Navy, and Bohmn are where I headed this time.

Station Park has all your shopping needs, with a beautiful outdoor setting and something for everyone. Let’s not forget several restaurants so you can make a great outing. 

Perfect for Easter

Whether you’re headed to Easter services, Brunch, the kid’s egg hunt, or dinner with family and friends, I’ve created some on-trend looks I think you’ll love and look great in at any age & stage in your life. You can wear these pieces all Spring and Summer to look and feel great. Watch the fun REEL I created

“Florals for spring are nothing new, here are a few Spring trends that are fresh and doesn’t evolve a large floral print.”

Trending Styles for Spring:

-The suit

-The trouser trend

-Eyelet 

-Wide-leg crop or wide leg

-Denim skirt med length and long

-Twist on a shirt dress

-The ribbed tank dress

-The Blazer

– Pj style pantsuit

Color trends:

Hot pink & Orange

Lilac

Sage green

Kelly green

Neutrals 

Cornflower Blue

Navy blue

Details:

Bows, small or large

Laser cutouts

Cutouts 

Studs

Braided 

Quilted

Tiny ruffle detail -think trim 

Pearls

-Added a slight floral touch for a fresh look without screaming “Floral for Spring.”

My Model’s looks:

Cammi-Cornflower Blue Eleni Maxi coverage dress with pretty little bow details. It is paired with a pop of floral on the Cecelia New York shoes. And finish off the look with an ivory custom coastal clutch. A perfect look for Easter services, Brunch, and would be darling for A bridal shower.

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

This dress could be worn in many ways: pull off the shoulders for a less modest way, or add a bunch of turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots for a boho vibe. So cute for festival and concert season.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

 

Kjirstin -Modeling the pantsuit trend in this season’s fresh color trend sage. The Blazer & the Pant was paired with a slightly floral detailed top in sage and pink. Finish the look with the Quilted accessories trend in the shoes and bag. The final finishing touch is Pearl accessories.

The pantsuit is a great alternative to a dress. A fresh and chic look for Spring

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

Change up the look, A younger person could swap out the top for a cropped top, and swap out the accessories for simpler pieces. Think simple platform sandals and a belt bag.

 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Myself– Wearing the Neutral color trend with the Twist on a Shirtdress, a mocha-colored high-low button-up dress. It was paired with a cute Cream cargo cropped jacket and Studded detail neutral sandals. For a bit of Pop of color, a hot pink bag.

Mannequin 3

Mannequin 4

 Outfits on the Mannequins

 

1st  Mannequin – Med length Denim Skirt, Eyelet top, and pretty bow detail heels. If you don’t love a denim skirt, pair it with Wide leg crops. Works for every age, as shown in the segment.

2nd Mannequin – Hot Pink and Orange – solid Ribbed Tank dress in Orange pairs with a solid Hot pink blazer, Accessorized with A darker orange braid bag for texture and a little pop. Hot Pink tassel earrings and finishing the look with a fun circle detailed, neutral sandal. 

Change up for a more youthful look

  • This look could be worn at any age as well, but to look more youthful, you could add a denim jacket instead of a blazer, swap out sandals for tennis shoes or pass on a jacket and tie a denim shirt around the waist.

3rd Mannequin – A coastal look with a Navy striped ribbed sweater tank dress, Paired with a Navy blazer (Save 10% with code DARCY10) and accessorized with a Neutral Laser cutout bag and sandals. Finished off with a straw hat gives this look the perfect coastal vibe. Cutouts on bags and shoes are a great choice to wear the trend if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothing with cutouts. 

Change up The Look

   -Here’s another look that could be worn at any age, but simply changing out a blazer for no jacket or a cargo or denim jacket and changing accessories to simple Converse tennis shoes and a belt bag, would create a more youthful look.

4th Mannequin -Pj Pant suit set, Oversized top & Pants. Easy, breezy, and Chic. Kelly Green is a hot color trend, and paired with black gives it a fun edge. Yet, still very Spring-like. Accessories help take this look from looking like pj’s to looking business chic. The black body suit keeps the eye clean and flattering. A lightweight wax-coated black jacket over the shoulders, gold bow detailed slides, and a black quilted bag with gold trim polish off the look. 

Change up the look

Here you could opt to not were the button-up and only wear the bodysuit with the pants, and forgo any jacket. This look would also be just with a denim jacket and a simple sandal or Converse or Ked-type tennis shoe. Swap out a quilted bag for a crossbody bag.

 

I hope I inspired you to try something a little new to you this Spring. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read “Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.” 

Have a beautiful day, pretty ladies,

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy last week of March, can you believe how fast March flew by? I keep telling myself Spring is coming; it is! In the Spirit of Spring, I have a couple of spring photoshoots. I’m looking forward to some fun pieces I can’t wait to wear. With all the great sales lately, I’ve grabbed some fun clothing & accessories I am also excited to share with you. 

Here are two great Spring basics wardrobe pieces. You’ll never get tired of styling, and the best part is that they work in every season.

"</p

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Spring Wardrobe Builders

~Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of Wearing~

~ Straight Leg/ slim boot cut Jeans 

~ Gauze Button up

The Jeans are under $69, And the top is under $36

What are wardrobe builders?

Wardrobe builders are staple/ key pieces you purchase that help you build your wardrobe. I like to make a wardrobe, starting with classic pieces that can help you create many different looks. Then, build a cabinet with 80% good fitting, good quality pieces and fill in with the trends. I wrote more about this HERE.

Ways to Wear these two pieces

The White Gauze button-up top

This gauze button-up is just like the Free people one I own♥️ you can’t tell them apart✔️Wear over a bathing suit, with shorts, or throw over a tank tee dress. 🖤 The many ways you can style this versatile piece genuinely are endless.

I own several white Gauze button-ups, one because I always need one, as I wear them on repeat. And two, I wanted to see if you could tell the difference between the Target $25, Peppered in Leopard$36, and Free People $69 versions. Unfortunately, you really couldn’t unless close up and with touching.

The comparison

The Target button-up is the thinnest but not too light, and the stitching isn’t the quality of the Free People, which is to be expected. The Peppered in Leopard button-up is a perfect dupe. The buttons are different, the stitching is good, and the weight is pretty close. I recommend purchasing it for the price if you want to save money. The Free People’s quality is the best, with excellent stitching, buttons, and gauze fabric, just the perfect weight. 

Free People added this Spliced -up Shirtdress Tunic to this year’s Spring lineup, and the fabric is the same Gauze as the button-up. Talk about a cute dress you’ll wear over and over. Cute for concerts and festivals with boots, and so cute for Summer with a cute sandal.

The Straight Leg slim bootcut Jeans

Straight Leg jeans have been a classic style since jeans wear invented. They will always be in style. It’s a classic fit that always looks good. In fashion, styles come and go, but the classic fit never goes far. The type I am wearing above says a slim-fitting flair, but it does fit like straight-leg jeans. 

Ladies…Get your butt into this pair. You won’t be sorry! Judy Blue High Waist Control Top raw hem slim bootcut jeans are slim fitting through the waist, hip, and butt with a slim-fitting flared leg. Made of stretchy denim, it will fit you just right without stretching out too much. The control top helps keep your waist slim, and the wash is GORGEOUS, making these a must-have!

The Jeans Fit

  • Rise 10 3/4″, Inseam: 32″
  • Recommend sizing down one size for that fitted look.
 

Two Basic Wardrobe pieces giving Coastal Grandmother vibes

*Coastal grandmother is a VIBE, not a grandmother thing☺️Want to learn more? Want to learn more? Here’s a fun Coastal Grandmother blog post I did last year that people enjoyed reading. Here’s a REEL you might enjoy, with 1.6 million views.

Giving me all the #coastalgrandma vibes… Think of all the ways you can style these two great basics✔️

 

A few other classic Jeans and White button-ups you might like:

BB Dakota by Steve Madden -Gauze button up a complete match for the Free People Button up

Tyra Cotton Oversized Button-Down Shirt-Get down to the business of statement style in this cotton button-down that makes a fashionable problem of rolling up your sleeves.

Stevie Straight Leg -These jeans are crafted in soft, stretchy denim, making them accessible and comfortable to wear all day. This simple but essential pair can complete any look they are paired with.

Christine High Rise Straight Leg– from cotton with a little bit of stretch, these high-waisted jeans with a straight leg will soon be your comfy favorites.

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did the start of daylight savings go for you? We’re up early. Today was no different, and it was snowing yet again. With that said, we decided to stay home and chill. By chill, I mean I stayed in pj’s, did a facial, read scriptures, and had a slow morning.

I did get the laundry done, Ben shoveled snow, and we made a big Asian dinner. I worked on social media, my Liketoknowit, and my blog. So, we had a productive day, even though it was quiet at home.

It was nice not having to get ready and having a relatively relaxing day. I leave for St George on Wednesday to meet my mom for Vintage Market days, Zion, and a little girl time. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve seen her, and I look forward to spending time with her. 

Spring is coming

With the first day of Spring coming in a couple of days, and Spring break coming up fast, I thought I would share some great basics from Chico’s. Easy to pack, wear traveling, and mix and match all Spring and Summer.

 

Chico’s Wardrobe Builders

They take you from Saturday style to Vacation mode with Chico’s  New Spring line. Their classic button-up in linen is perfect; you’ll wear it on repeat in white. Great over a bathing suit, paired with jeans, shorts, or worn over a tee shirt dress. It also comes in a stripe and several other colors. Girlfriend cropped jeans are a flattering jean style, similar to the boyfriend jeans with being as baggy. 

A  big Spring trend is the color combo Navy and kelly green. You’ll see these colors paired together in print and solids and mixing it up. See how I styled this trend in a couple of ways below. First, I paired some great essential pieces with trendy pieces to create a look you can wear at any age. 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

White Button up | Girlfriend Jeans| Tennis shoes| Bag

Classic Wardrobe outfit 

Every day or Saturday style is built with classic wardrobe builders with the New girlfriend cropped denim. It fits slimmer than a boyfriend s jeans yet is not a straight cut. Very flattering on every figure and has a cute little cuff.  It was perfectly paired with Chico’s white shirt button-up and darling leather tennis shoes. Finish the look with a chain-detailed crossbody bag for a little updated edge.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Stripped Top| Joggers| Linen Slides

Easy Travel Outfit

Trending colors this Spring Kelly green and blue make a great color combo. I paired this color combo for a vacation look and a resort wear outfit. I hope you love the results. Kelly green jeggings and a navy and white striped linen button-up make for a comfortable travel look.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Denim Jacket| Bathing Suit| Pants| Hat| Sunglasses| Bag

Resort wear or Poolside Outfit

Are you headed on a warm-weather vacation? These printed Ikat cropped pants pulled over a swimsuit (used as a body suit here) gave a seamless look, and paired with this two-toned denim jacket, the straw bag makes it easy to take from the pool to lunch.

🚗Road Trip —Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺 Last leg of 🚗Road Trip
—Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺

Last leg of trip…2 days in Las Vegas

- A couple days poolside 
- A couple meals out
-Some shopping (just a little) 
- and yes, we had early nights in…

We’ve been to LV so many times, that we actually don’t enjoy it any more, it’s changed so much over the years, that we actually prefer to have pool time (eat at pool) stay close or at our hotel… Walking the strip is more scary then fun, and the restaurants aren’t what they used to be… people watching isn’t even fun anymore there:(

Lately, We just think of LV as a resting point before we drive the 6-7 long hours home. 

Over the years I’ve shared several amazing LV hotels, restaurants and shopping spots…. Some of those are still good, but several have gotten run down and aren’t the same.  I honestly don’t feel safe in LV and probably won’t have that be a resting point anymore. 

If you’re a gambler or like shows … then LV probably still has appeal, People don’t dress up anymore, the top quality restaurants & hotels aren’t what they used to be, and over priced for what you get. (Trust me we’ve stayed at almost all of the resort’s multiple times) 
I personally think there’s better places to visit. 

😉This is my observation and opinion over the last several times & years we’ve been to Lv. 

How do you feel about Las Vegas?
Have you been recently? 

Sorry, not sorry for my honest review!

—2nd Laser surgery &  Update—

➡️Slide through 6 slides ➡️
To view process

 6 weeks  after my First laser treatment round 2 co2  deep core laser treatment.

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 5 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment! 

May is Skin cancer awareness month and it’s so important to get your skin checked!

I am happy to answer any questions in Dm

⚠️ Share with someone you care about✔️

🚨Come back next week to view the update and see what the laser did
