My Picks Fall Preview Social Threads

Hello, pretty Lady,

I hope your weekend was a good one. We had a busy one, which seems to be the norm for this summer. Can you believe it’s August, with School starting soon and fall just around the corner? I am working on a little August porch refresh, a little late summer look without decorating for Fall just yet. I plan on doing that in September first, to give you inspo without being too early. Don’t worry, I will be sharing Fall items in my cart, as well as items I think are worthy to grab for your home that will sell out.

Speaking of a little Pre-Fall, if you’ve been part of my tribe for a while, you know I am a big Fan of Social Threads. I love the brands they carry, as there are several I used to carry when I owned my boutiques. I trust them and love the quality, and the prices are affordable . Great quality, even better fit. A great sale to grab a few wardrobe basics to start your fall wardrobe. Especially now, while they are having a Pre-fall preview 25% off sale. Today I am sharing my Fall Preview Social Threads.

Tops

The cutest gingham tie-neck blouse | The perfect Fall transition piece and perfect for Family photos. This is a piece you’ll wear now and layer in the Fall.

Don’t you love a top with a cute detail? This Peter Pan collar top is a cute, detailed top you’ll keep reaching for all Fall and will be darling layered in winter under a sweater with the collar pulled out. |Things between Peter Pan collar button up top|

Sweaters and Jackets

I think I am crushing on an understated balloon sleeve | How darling and chic is this solid knit bubble-sleeve lightweight sweater?

I love a lightweight jacket in the Fall and in the Spring. This En Cream Quilted Jacket is the perfect layering piece. It adds texture, yet is classic and a piece you wear on repeat for years.

Leopard is still trending for Fall (thank goodness). Really, it’s a classic, and I won’t ever stop wearing it. I love a good leopard cardigan, and I am not afraid to say I own several. If you’re in need of a new leopard cardigan or need to add a piece you’ll cherish for years to come, I’d add this one to your collection.

The sweater every wardrobe needs: Blu Ivy Slouch Neck Dolman sleeve sweater. I own this sweater in 3 colors and have worn it year after year. It’s soft, fits so well, and looks great with every jean style, trousers, and over a dress for a sweater-skirt look. It’s a wardrobe staple that I am glad to see is always restocked. I wear the Sm/med size, which is true to size.

Shoes

The sneaker you’ll wear: on repeat Sasha Sneaker | Quick grab it while you can on sale. Comfy, low profile, and wearable year-round.

Tokyo Loafer| Loafers are still trending, yet always a classic, especially if you’re a preppy style girl. Comes in two colors, comfy and a great price for the quality.

Jeans

Risen Jeans are truly a go-to affordable jean under $80; they come in several styles, fit great, are good-quality denim, and have stretch. I am not embarrassed to say I own over a dozen styles, from cropped to wide leg. The Scottie large cuff is one of my favorites and my number one selling jean year after year.

I have it in both the light wash large cuff and the dark wash cuff. Here are a few other styles I own and that are restocked. Reminder: Now is the time to grab a new pair of denim for your fall wardrobe and save 25% off with code FP26.

💕Remember, wearing a smile is your most important accessory.

Catch up Friday, A Few Thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Catch up Friday, A Few thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great week. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and really caught up with you. My year has been crazy, with taking care of my mom, my melanoma journey, and becoming a grandma (COCO). Along with the heaviness of the world, my head and little world have been spinning. Today, I thought I’d do a little brain dump and life update/catch-up.

Week Recap:

My week was a little shorter than usual because I had a long weekend away for some work and girl time in California. It’s always a good time to catch up with friends, Shop, and enjoy the California coast. Road tripping with my mom, visiting my good friend Gina, and catching up with girlfriends I met on the gram and have become friends over the years, and annually we meet in Beverly Hills at Madison Masion (a shoe brand we all work with) for a lovely event.

This year we enjoyed a full day, checking out all the New arrivals and product launches at Madison Madison, then Drinks and appetizers at Wally’s before we headed to Spago’s for Dinner. We had so much fun, we didn’t get home until Midnight! It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed out that late.

Mixing work and Friendship over 50 feels so different. It’s intentional, joyful, and uplifting. When you do what you love and surround yourself with people who understand your work and support and encourage you, it is refreshing. Whether like-minded or with different views, we love and respect each other enough to have discussions without judgment.

On My Mind

In today’s heavy world, everything is judged, and everything you say or don’t say can somehow be controversial! How sad is that? Why is everyone so sensitive? Should we feel wrong to believe the way you wish? Why does it have to be so divided? I truly believe Most people want love, love their families, want a safe, loving home, clean food and air, and what’s best for our children. So much Evil. I wish we could go back to simpler times, and I feel many others are on the same page.

Something about being over 50: You learn you can truly pick and choose who you surround yourself with, and you can create the life you want and understand how to create peace in the chaos. We understand we can’t control everything, but we can control ” our little world.” For me, my faith is a big part of what guides my choices and how I live my life. I hope that shows through what I share and how I react to what’s going on around me.

Health Update:

3 Months since my Melanoma surgery, and yesterday I had my 2nd Co2 laser surgery. Right now, we are concentrating on the scar tissue underneath, which will also help with the couple of spots puckering.

The laser process is only about 10 minutes. You use numbing cream about an hour beforehand, which helps; it does “smart” a little, but not horribly. The doctors did say, “You have a high pain tolerance?” After it’s a little hot, I take a few Ibuprofen, and you keep Aquaphor on it for 24 hours. It does bleed, ooze, scab over, and get messy. I will look like this for about 5 days.

The Care:

For the next 4 to 5 days, you use a genital cleanser, then a vinegar soak for 10 minutes a day. It looks scabby and pretty ugly. Hopefully, it will look better than before. I know to follow the process, and I’ve been told that after 1 year, I won’t even see the scar. Praying that’s the case, but honestly, I am thankful this was my journey; although difficult, it’s much easier than chemo. I am thankful for God’s blessings and continue to pray as I have my 3-month skin check-up in a couple of weeks.

Wardrobe Basics from Chicos Taking you into the Holiday’s

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today’s post is a mix of Holiday pieces and basic wardrobe pieces from Chico’s.

Building a wardrobe that meets your basic needs and serves you on special occasions and during the holiday season is about choosing the right pieces, knowing what looks good on your body type, and understanding your style. I talk about this often and will share again how to build your wardrobe in a future post. Today, it’s about taking basic pieces and mixing them with holiday pieces that feel like true styles you could wear every day, depending on how you style them.

With my tips and tricks, I hope you’ll see how you can create festive looks with items you may already have in your closet, and mix them with a few new pieces you may want to add from Chico’s New collection.

Holiday Outfit Inspo in Jeans

We all have them and we all wear them… creating a Holiday Outfit with jeans…Chico’s great wardrobe builders make great Holiday pieces, too. I have started a new series, “Holiday in Jeans.” Make sure to stay tuned on Instagram and my Liketoknowit for Daily inspo, as I’ll do a complete wrap-up here on the blog when all the outfits are shared.

Dark wash girlfriend straight leg jeans| Black no-iron button-up shirt |Red tweed ladies’ jacket, perfect for the holidays, the office, and dressed-up occasions, depending on how you style it. Black pointed-toe flats with gold studs| Multi-strand pearl and gold with black beads and charms statement necklace ( such a Chanel vibe) Gold hoops with small rhinestone details |Gold metallic belt|

Jean Style Tip:

Tip: Dark-wash straight-leg jeans or dark-wash jeans with a slight flare are the best styles to wear for a dressier look. As well as black jeans. I will be styling several jean styles to showcase different outfit options.

Burgundy faux leather cropped trench coat|Sweater with mocha colored Jewels, so soft, and has a bell sleeve|Pink girlfriend slim straight-leg jeans, Chicos mocha rectangle drop earrings |Cecelia, New York gold-studded open-toe block heel sandal |

A Color Cobo that Works

Fun Color combo for the Holidays: Burgundy, pink, and cream. Festive, yet not traditional red or green for those ladies who want something a little different. Why it works and still looks festive, it’s on trend, a cropped faux leather trench coat in a rich shade of burgundy, paired with pink, is unexpected yet romantic. I mixed textures, added some bling, and wore a festive lip color. Think of all the ways you can mix and match these pieces in your everyday wardrobe for different looks year-round.

A Fringe Moment

Black Chevron Fringe Skirt: Holiday outfit inspo that can also work for work outfit inspo. All black is always classic and Chic… make it festive with bling accessories. Make this look work appropriate with the blazer.

Classic white button-up no-iron shirt|Grey cashmere medium-length sweater with pockets, butter-soft and lightweight | Love these beautiful statement earrings, too. Perfect for the whole Holiday season, on sale too | Beautiful feather clutch with gorgeous agate stone clasp | Grey Girlfriend Slim straight-leg jeans.| Silver cap, little booties by Cecelia, New York.

Thanksgiving outfit inspo

Shades of Grey and Classic white, a perfect combo year-round. This color combo pairs well with silver and looks great with Red for a festive Holiday-season outfit. These great classic wardrobe pieces are ones you’ll find yourself wearing on repeat and pairing with different accent colors to create different looks

Tips for Taking Wardrobe Basics into the Holidays

The tricks to taking your wardrobe basics into the Holidays are your accessories.. Make a statement with your accessories. In this case, I used metallic gold with a few pearls to create a dressed-up feel. Metallics always make things festive.

-Choose fabrics that feel dressier, such as Tweeds, satins, silks, cashmere, and velvets, from on-trend seasonal colors

Choose Colors that are festive and feel holiday.

Reds, Greens, Jewel tones, Classic black, and this season, Chocolate brown, Burgundy wine, Soft Pinks, Smoky greys, and of course, Metallics.

Adding a few New pieces

I love these on-trend pieces that Chico’s created for this Holiday season. Ruffle leather cape, fur & leather fringe skirt, Lace button-up top, Tweed ladies jackets, leather cropped trench, printed denim, and sparkly accessories.

6 Chico’s Outfits I Create With a Few of the Same Pieces from above. Full Blog Post HERE.

I am headed to GTU tomorrow. For another Fashion Fix TV Segment…Featuring: All the Pieces above and a little new Inspo with Chico’s LIVE @ 9:40ish am Mnt. ABC Good Things Utah/ stream live from anywhere link in bio. Watch the segment HERE

My Picks Amazon Prime Day Deals 2025

Beauty

I love getting a good deal on my beauty purchases, and Prime Day is just the time to do that. Elemis cleansing Balm is my go-to for washing the day off my face, following up with Colleen Rothschild’s Glycolic Acid Peel Pads, and CR’s illuminating tinted eye cream is a miracle to add a glow under your eyes. Speaking of eyes, Cosrx, Cooling hydrogel eye patches are a morning go-to for me, or if a pre-makeup helper, if I am heading to an event. Need A little help with your eyelashes? GrandeLash-MD lash-enhancing serum has been my go-to for strong, long lashes for over 15 years. It really works and helps keep my lashes strong for extensions as well.

Laneige, viral lip sleeping mask is all it’s hyped up to be, as I use it every night before bed, to wake up with hydrated, soft lips. Speaking of the mouth, let’s talk about how I keep my teeth so white with Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips.

Divi dry shampoo is a clean beauty product line that makes a minty fresh smelling dry shampoo, which I use almost daily as a texturizer and fresh hair. Want a great blowout at home? I use the T3 AireBrush One-Step Smoothing and Volumizing Hair Dryer Brush, Blow Dryer Brush for Fast Drying and Styling with Multiple Heat and Speed Settings, Ceramic Oval Brush, and Cool Shot on hair wash day. Makes for a great gift.

Great gift Idea for the Beauty Lover- LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Own Your Age Boxed Makeup Collection | Amazon Exclusive – Giftable Makeup Set with All-in-One Face Palette, Hydrating Lip Color Balm, and Retractable Travel Friendly Kabuki Brush.

It’s no secret I love doing laundry, and I love specialty Laundry pods, liquids, and fabric Sheets, boosters, softeners, and I do use a good variety of different ones for different things. One of my favorites is a clean product called Laundry Sauce. They have several scented pods and fabric softener sheets, in several scents, but my favorite is French saffron. It’s a delightful scent I love for linens or my personal clothing. It also makes your home smell amazing. I love it’s a clean product without harmful chemicals.

Need a little touch of Fall for your stove top? I adore this Petite Ceramic, Oven & Stove Safe up to 572°F, Pumpkin Dish, Baking, Candy Dish, Burnt Orange. I have one similar in Ivory and adore it. How about adding something cozy to your living room? Faux Fur Throw Blanket Luxury Lightweight Cozy Soft Throw for Couch Bed or Chair Hypoallergenic Machine Washable Double-Sided Fluffy Blanket. A great Coffee Table book makes for a good conversation piece or a gift. This Chanel Book is a great deal 49% off.

An Item on my home wish list. Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum, 185AW, 3 Power Modes, Up to 60 Minutes,² Deep Cleans Hard Floors and Carpets, Detangles pet Hair, Converts to Handheld.

As a Midlifer, sleep is just as important as it was as a baby. This Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine, Night Light | Registry Essential, Sleep Trainer, Routine Builder, Time-to-Rise Alarm Clock, White Noise Soother, Nursery Stories, Toddler Kids Bedroom. It is a great gift at any age.

Clothing and Accessories

Amazon is a great place to find fashion and accessories at a great price, with name brands and good quality for the price. This Calvin Klein Sonoma Bubble Lamb Messenger Crossbody is a great everyday bag. This cozy Fall Pajama & Lounge Sweater Set is a Cute Fuzzy Fleece 2 Piece Long Sleeve Cozy Winter Pj Outfits, comes in several colors. Both make great gifts. These trending slippers would be a cute addition to this lounge set and also make a great gift Idea. Do you love cute Christmas PJs? These satin ones are so good $21. This Striped Cardigan Sweater Casual Open Front Long Sleeve Button Down Knit Outwear is so cute. I have it in two colors. One of my BEST selling sweaters, year after year, Turtleneck Batwing Sleeve Spilt Casual Loose Knit Tunic Pullover Sweater Top, I have in several colors, and the quality is so good $25.

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I’m sharing a few trends of the season, as well as some easy outfit ideas, too. Fall fashion is one of my favorite seasons to shop for, so let’s have some fun!!

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories, a Perfect & affordable way to give your wardrobe a little update. Here are a few of the things I am noticing:) & What I’ve been Fall Trend spotting. Mixing Affordable finds with classic wardrobe staples to refresh your Fall wardrobe. Think Layers, classic Ralph Lauren, Rich fabrics, wool, tweeds, plaid, Cable knit sweaters, mixed with denim, and suede. The English countryside sets the stage for this year’s classic fall, adding in that East Coast Preppy vibe. Take these classic wardrobe basics and mix in this season’s hot colors and accessories. It is a great way to elevate any outfit this Fall.

Tv Segment

I am headed to GTU tomorrow. For another Fashion Fix TV Segment…Featuring: “ This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories ” @ 9:40ish am Mnt. ABC Good Things Utah/ stream live from anywhere link in bio. Watch the segment HERE.

Ralph Lauren Vibe

Ralph Lauren’s style is characterized by timeless elegance, classic American fashion, and a blend of sophistication and casual comfort.
It often features preppy elements, clean lines, and a neutral color palette, with an emphasis on quality fabrics and versatile pieces that transcend trends.

Key elements of Ralph Lauren style:

- Timeless classics:
  
  Ralph Lauren is known for enduring pieces like tailored suits, crisp white button-down shirts, and polo shirts, often in a preppy style.
- Neutral color palette:
  
  A signature aspect of the brand is the use of neutral tones like navy, white, tan, and other earthy shades, which are highly versatile and create a sense of understated elegance.

Effortless yet polished:

The style is about achieving a refined look without appearing overly contrived or trend-driven.

Mixing patterns and textures:

Ralph Lauren often incorporates a mix of patterns (like stripes, plaid, or polka dots) and textures (like leather, cashmere, or tweed) in unexpected ways, adding depth and visual interest to the overall look.

Preppy Style

The preppy vibe in my eyes is a classic style, and a vibe some of us always lean towards. Last year, we started seeing rugby stripes, polos, & loafers in a big way, and it will be even stronger this year.

- Think polo shirts, chinos, loafers, and blazers in classic colors like navy, white, and khaki.
  
  Country club chic:
  
  A blend of casual and sophisticated pieces, like a cashmere sweater paired with tailored trousers and a statement belt.

Nordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

gNordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! Hoping you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list. I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up.

I’ve been shopping this sale for over 30 years and look forward to it every year. It’s a great time to pick up items/brands that are hard to find on sale! They have amazing beauty bundles you can’t get any other time of the year!

Items I purchase for my wardrobe, I wear, tend to wear on repeat as well as build my classic wardrobe with good quality pieces.

This year’s SALE is truly one of the BEST I’ve seen in years… My wish list would be everything you see here in my graphics (if I could.

Things to Remember & a few tips

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 8th to August 3rd. Store sales will open to the public from July 14th to August 3rd. Are you a cardholder? Remember, you get a triple points day, so don’t forget to schedule it for the day you’re headed to shop.

If shopping online, you can schedule your points on your order before checking out. If you feel like shopping on my page and using my links here and below, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I get a tiny commission, which allows me to keep doing what I love.

Mark your calendar:

Don’t forget to watch my Instagram stories for daily tips, to see my try-on, and for more in-store details. On July 10th, tune in at 4:00 p.m. for my live on Instagram. I’ll be sharing items I own and wardrobe builders. I’m also excited to give you a sneak peek at what will be on Sale from Wit & Wisdom, as they sent me a few affordable pieces to share. Again, thank you for your support and for taking the time to stop by and read my post.

You don’t have to be a cardholder to SHOP the SALE! You can sign up to be a member for free and still earn points.

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!

Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!

Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.

Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

When can I shop for the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

July 1st- Online preview begins ( you can start planning and creating your wishlist)

Icons July 8th-11th -Icon Early Access. Icons spend over $15,000 per Year

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. Breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

The Breakdown:

Of the six items I purchase every Year. My tried and authentic VIEW HERE

6 Things I Buy Every Year

6 items I buy every year at the Nordstrom Sale

A free people cardigan or sweater… It’s a great time to get free people on sale, and they always have a good selection! (This is this year’s pick.)

A new coat again, it’s the best time to pick up designer pieces that are hard to find on sale. This is this year’s pick, Ralph Lauren’s plaid cropped pea coat

Donna Karen’s cashmere deodorant.. I have used this for 30 years and just love it! 1 box lasts for the whole year! Smells great and works

A Charlotte Tilbury makeup set, I love Charlotte T, and this is one of the only times of the year to grab on sale!

The BEST moisturizing lotion by Khiels, it’s so rich and creamy, really moisturizes your skin, and again, only time of year to grab this big size at this price.

I grab “this year’s” Steve Madden mule. It’s a go-to everyday shoe I can wear with everything! All year long! I want this one too! Loving this year’s gold buckle detail, and comes in several colors! I want it in the wine, the pearl, and the neutral

If I could only pick 12 things… well, 6 of them I buy every year… shown above. Plus, what’s actually in my cart…I will add later this week…
