Dear D'Arcy

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was pretty busy! I had a baby shower to go to, and my nephew got into town with his friend, which meant we had a house full of boys for Sunday breakfast and dinner. My love language is cooking and hosting, so my heart was whole. 

Today kicks off the Nordstrom Sale, open for everyone to shop. Let me tell you, it’s a great sale this year. I have several blog posts and an Instagram post & Highlights with all my picks that I think you would love. Items have been selling fast, but they do restock throughout the sale. Make sure to follow me on Instagram for all the up-to-date info. I created a Nordstrom collection over on LTK HERE to make shopping for you easy. The sale goes until 8/4. With that said, I will be covering it until the end. It’s my favorite sale to shop all year, as I genuinely believe there are great pieces and deep discounts on items typically not on sale. 

My Try-on Haul HERE

Ally Shoes

Now, after that little life catch, let’s get to today’s blog post, all about flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes. I love a great pair of flats, maybe because I am tall? Perhaps because I feel like you can style them in so many ways and that they are appropriate for many of life’s everyday occasions. 

Ally Shoes is a new brand that I have fallen in love with. Today, I will share a little behind-the-scenes reason and an easy outfit you can take from a casual day look to a night look with just a couple of accessory changes. 

 

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes— Styled Day to Night—

 How cute are these tweed Cap Toe  flats  by Ally shoes 

You can take shoes from Day to night, style them casually, wear them for work wear, or dress up for drinks with friends! 

I am a sucker for a cute flat, and I love the mixture of textiles with this pretty shoe. Tweed is a classic and elegant textile with a rich feel; adding the patient leather cap toe elevates the whole shoe and gives it that designer feel.

About this look

Want an easy outfit combo you can wear from Day to night by making additions and swap-outs? I’ve got you covered. This formula can be quickly followed with any top or bottom.

Pick your base outfit- I choose a tank top and wide-leg cuff denim jeans here. Then, you select your Ally shoes. I decided on the Textured cap toe flat from the London collection ( a limited edition). These are considered the base piece of your outfit. This base is cute, but let’s take it up a notch with the finishing touches and accessories! For the Bangle bracelets, a statement ring, Gold hoops, and a tote. Regarding the Day look, accessories are the “icing on the cake,” They can be used to finish any outfit. 

The easy part is taking this look to a nighttime look or even a more appropriate work look. Same base pieces, and adding a #rd piece to the blazer, in this case, it a cropped blazer to add balance to the high-waisted front patch pocket wide leg jeans. Switching out the bag to a more structured bag gives the whole look a more professional look. Lastly, I changed the hoops for a classic gold and pearl elevated earring and the casual bangles for a collection of gold bald bracelets. 

By making these easy changes, you created two different looks you could wear for many everyday occasions.

About Ally Shoes

Ally Shoes is an innovative fashion brand designed for women by women. They make luxury footwear more accessible for women on the move. They re-engineered the statement heel with a podiatric surgeon to create a flexible structure that secures your foot and looks fabulous – now adding flats and boots to offer more inclusive, stylish, and comfortable dress shoes to all women. 

WHAT MAKES ALLY Shoes UNIQUE

-Patented Internal Structure

-To alleviate pain, they put precise cushioning under the three pressure points in your feet (heel cup support, arch support, and toe crest support). Patent Pending Internal Structure & Padded Insole.

-Inclusive Size Range of 18 sizes 

 MADE-TO-ORDER PROCESS- truly made just for you ✔️

Having shoes made to order makes you feel so special! I loved this process; Ally Shoes sends you a custom shoe fitting kit to ensure they get your shoes to fit just right. I would have thought this would cost a fortune, and their shoes are a fraction of the cost of designer shoes.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

 Hello Pretty ladies, 

Yesterday, I headed to Nordstrom to try on the items I loved and had on my wish list in-store. I wanted to give you outfit inspirations and details on how the Items fit and what they looked like. Please view my full try-on here and save my highlights Here.

This sale has received extensive coverage; it is a great time to get deep discounts. However, this doesn’t mean you must go crazy and purchase just because it’s on sale. Be intentional with your purchases and inventory, as well as your needs and wishes.

Things I look for during the sale… Besides the six things I purchase every year, View HERE!

A few essential items to consider are Investment pieces, Cashmere, designer, Quality coats, bags, or sunglasses (Crewneck Cashmere Sweater), Shoes, and Premium denim. I look for brands that don’t often go on sale and take advantage of the opportunity to grab a few essential items I’ve been wanting. Which one is always a Free People sweater? I love the quality and fit, and they always have the style I love. 

The NSALE is always a great time to grab denim. Everyone should own at least one pair of premium denim for their wardrobe, and the NSALE is a great place to grab a pair on sale. Take note that Nordstrom’s sale also features several designer brands, or, I like to say, “Splurges.” This is a great time to score a key piece or two at discounted prices. View my Nordstrom tips Video HERE.

The Good Stuff

Let’s get to the good stuff: “Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024.” Please note that some items sell out fast; they do restock throughout the sale, and you can add it to your wish list or check with me on LTK or in my stories and HERE as I update as the sale goes on.

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Another week is flying by, and it’s hard to believe it’s the last few days of June. Ben and I are headed out of town for some stay-cation in Park City. He booked it forever ago, and he’s looking forward to a bit of downtime. If we stay home, he continues to work at our or someone else’s home, so he likes to book several local weekend trips a year.

Let’s catch up

July is a busy month, with all the BIG sales, the Nordstrom sale, Amazon Prime days, and Walmart & Target having to get into the game. I’ll be covering my favorite picks and things I have purchased, but I would love to know if there is something you want me to cover or review. Comment below with your questions and what sales you’re looking forward to. It’s great to start creating your wish lists now.  here are a couple of favorite THINGS I recommend Purchashing if you don’t have Spanx| Free People Sweater| Pillow Talk| New Balance 327| 

Excited this year that a couple of brands I have loved and purchased from have reached out to partner with me. Can’t wait to share the items and show you how I will style them. 

I look forward to a July girlfriends/work trip with some of my favorite Midlife blogger friends. Mixing work and play is always a good time. Do you have any guesses as to whom I will be meeting?

July also means we’re in countdown mode for our son’s wedding.  August 24th is going to come up fast.  My dress arrived yesterday and fit perfectly, so that is a check off my list. I need to start working on the welcome boxes, and I still have some details to finish up for the rehearsal party. Say party because it’s a Black Tie destination wedding, and we invited everyone who will be in town on Friday to attend the more casual Lake Party after the rehearsal.

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today, I am sharing the 4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40. These outfits range from easy outfits you can create from your closet, using the traditional color theme of red, white, and blue, to a couple of kitschy looks with stars and flags. 

I am sharing easy, peezy outfits that say the 4th of July without having a flag or stars to say the 4th of July. You can grab your Red, white, and blue pieces out of your wardrobe all summer, and pairing them together creates a Holiday look without having a 4th of July star or flag item. Stripes are one of my favorite things, and I love that you can mix a bold stripe and a small stripe to a solid and get a great vibe. Another trick to get a festive look without wearing a big Star or Flag is adding a mini star or flag print as a small detail on a scarf to tie on a bag or a simple accessory like an earring. This little detail adds that 4th of July touch to an outfit without screaming the 4th.

Today is our monthly blog hop, and it is always fun to see what my girlfriends Dawn, Suzanne, and Cindy are sharing on the monthly topic over on their blogs. The 4th of July is a week away, and that seems like an appropriate topic. Their blogs are linked at the end of this post.

Tips on shopping your closet:

To create the looks below from your closet, look for something you have similar, whether it’s the color or the style; something similar will still give out the same feel. 

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

I did an Amazon haul at the beginning of Summer with great basics that happened to be in the color theme of the 4th of July. I chose these colors simply because they felt like summer to me, and then I realized I picked the perfect colors for the 4th of July, which is also a great Summer season color palette.

The Flag sweater is so cute, and I love it printed in this season’s hottest color: Cornflower blue. I’ve been crushing on this color, and when I saw it, I had to have it. The flag sweater reminds me of a preppy Ralph Loren polo and is a classic in my eyes. A flag also has a coastal vibe to it, making it perfect to wear all summer long. Shop the look HERE.

The Red Stripe Amazon maxi dress has been a repeat best-seller for me. Easy to wear all summer long. I paired the dress with a denim shirt around the waist, a caramel tote, and Tory Burch Miller sandals. Shop the look HERE.

I purchased this off-the-shoulder top from the Banana Republic factory (last year), which is linked to a similar Fits TTS; these best-selling wide cuff two button-front jeans are from Amazon for $39. These come in and out of stock. Because they sell so fast, and they fit true to size. Excellent quality for the price✔️Cashmere sweater fits tts. Tory Burch Miller is in red TTS, Lisi Lurch bracelets, and a Laudi Vindi custom bag, which is genuine leather. It is so beautiful, as are Amazon raffia ball earrings. SHOP the look HERE

Summer Capsule Wardrobe with Chico’s

Summer Capsule Wardrobe with Chico’s

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The First day of Summer is just a couple of weeks away, and I am so excited for the outdoor season to start. If you’re like me, you love all the outdoor time, evenings on the porch, pool days, summer travel, and social time. I adore being in my yard and garden; even if it’s a lot of work, it’s therapeutic. I’ve even got my Summer book list picked for those pool days and porch moments. I’ll share about that next week.

If you follow me on the gram, you know I just returned from a Colorado vacation with my hubby, and Now I am in full bridal shower mode. The party is on Saturday, and if that wasn’t enough, I have a Fashion Fix styling segment on Good Things Utah Tomorrow. So, to say I am running in a hundred directions would be true. With that said, today, I am sharing a summer capsule wardrobe with Chico’s that is perfect for the summer social season. 

Watch the Chico’s Fashion Segment HERE

2 Over 40 Outfit Inspirations: Coastal Vibes

Happy Friday, Pretty Ladies,

While in California a couple of weeks ago, we had to head to one of my favorite spots in Newport Beach: Lido Marina Village. This cute little shopping area on the Marina has cute coffee shops, darling boutiques, and yummy restaurants with beautiful views of the Marina and dining on the boardwalk. 

If you like cute coastal spots with fabulous shops, yummy food, or great coffee with a view, add this to your list while in California.

I am doing a quick blog post on 2 Over 40 Outfit Inspirations:

“The sound and smell of the sea cleanses my soul.”

This California girl loves the Ocean! I’m bringing you a little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….

 

Now about the look number 1:

A little Black-and-White Coastal Vibe with a touch of Denim….All Clothing is Spanx’s,

The New Air Essentials Cropped tee shirt hits the right spot for high-waisted pants.🖤🤍 The Pants are the “perfect pants” and genuinely are perfect black pants. They are comfortable, have stretch, and fit true to size. (If you are tall, get the Talls.) I am 5 feet 91/2 inches and got the regular length, and they’re too short.

The Denim jacket with a belted waist is also a Spanx piece that is so flattering and a perfect weight for Summer nights or coastal breezes. I finished the look with a Spanx Air Essentials crew – neck sweatshirt over my shoulders. A Lack of Color Straw Hat, Julie Voz Jewelry, and Jeffery Campbell sandals. Summer accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Summer long.

Easy Coastal vibe…. Pairing Red and white

Something about White jeans paired with a stripe—these are frayed kick flare by Express—always gives me a coastal vibe. This is NOT your typical blue-and-white stripe coastal look! Try a little something different with a red-and-white stripe. This bright, cheery Red gives a fun little twist, perfect for the entire summer social season while looking classic. 3/4 Sleeve Air Essential Tee Spanx. Grab the denim Shorts HERE

 Adding a straw hat, Red millers, and gold Jewelry make the look perfect for a Coastal touch. 

I am ready for a coastal breeze, seaside shopping, and a lunch with an ocean view.

On a Side Note: One of my Favorite Summer fragrances is BEACH by Bobbi Brown, and I found an incredible $24 Dupe HERE

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

Hello, pretty Ladies,

I hope you enjoyed your Holiday weekend. We had a great weekend at home, with beautiful weather. We worked in our yard and had a BBQ with the kids. I am so grateful for those who have served and have served this great country and some who have made the greatest sacrifices. I feel blessed to come from a long line of those who have served; we are so proud of them. And that we have a day to remember & celebrate our military.  

With Memorial Day over, we are kicking off the Summer season, including longer days, warmer weather, outdoor social events, and travel. If you’re like me, you can’t wait to soak it all up.

I am doing a blog hop with my three blogger friends, Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne, sharing Summer. The theme was anything summer-related, so check out their blog posts today to see what they shared. I have their blogs linked at the end of this post. 

Today, I am Sharing One color that works with every outfit: (Cognac, Saddle Brown, or Caramel. There are three names for one color.) It’s a timeless, elegant, and sophisticated color—a true classic. It also works in every season, and summer is one of my favorites. 

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

One Color That Works With Every Outfit

What should I purchase in this color?

Accessories Are the best place to use this color. Invest in a great handbag. I love this Vegan Tote. I’ve had it for three years and am happy it’s still available. It is my best seller and matches my Tory Burch Miller sandals perfectly. That said, you need a great pair of shoes in the same color. And a belt. I found this pair of Sandals in a major sale.

 

Three key Accessories

These three essential Accessories will transform all your summer outfits and help you transform the pieces you own in your closet. These three key pieces work with all colors. They help elevate and add polish to your simplest t-shirt and denim, creating a quiet luxury look. I’ve shared a variety of outfits and ways you can style the tote and sandals to give you an idea of the color’s versatility.

 

Summer Style & Trend

This summer season, accessories made from raffia straw are on trend. Several have been mixed with trim or details in Cognac leather, making for the ultimate summer accessories. I just ordered this Hobo bag by Eric Javits. It’s a classic shape with the perfect intricate crochet raffia straw and Napa leather binding and handles. I found a similar feel but in a classic tote style HERE for a more affordable option, and this Classic Summer tote is another affordable-price point option.

The raffia straw trend, which we see in everything from Earrings to belts, sandals, and bags, is another excellent option for adding a summer flair to your look while working with pieces you might already own in your closet. This is a great and affordable way to update your wardrobe without spending much money. Adding the Cognac trim to the raffia just elevates the acessorires. Below are a few pieces I’ve picked up or are in my cart.

Just Call me Martha With a Hack… Biscuits and Ber Just Call me Martha With a Hack…

Biscuits and Berries recipe is what “is this “Sunday’s in the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

I had heard good things about @magnoliatable  Buttermilk Biscuits,
And I’ve been wanting to try them. 

I thought that would be a good quick hack to serve them for a Sunday breakfast treat.

I brushed them with 🧈French Butter and French flaky Salt… (makes all the difference) you could eat them just like that…

I served them with Homemade Whipping cream and my Strawberry sauce along with Fresh Berries🍓🫐🌱

So so good… this would be a great brunch side dish or dessert as well.

These biscuits would make a great mini breakfast sandwich- egg cheese and bacon✔️
Or my Family’s  favorite-Biscuit’s and Gravy 

❤️save to reference later

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

I hope you have a day full of Gods Blessings and good food

🧺The Basket is personalized (and unfortunately takes two weeks) but you could save to order other cute custom items.

🐰This cute Melissa and Doug Bunnie is one of my favorite children’s toy lines. (Arrives next day) 

👶 Baby clothes make great basket stuffers🧺

- Teddy bear sweater with ear hood
- Denim Jacket
- Set of 3 Thermal tank bodysuits
-Linen shorts
-Ducky Sleeper
-Duck Sponge
-Lamb Rubber bath toy
-Bunny Case Full of Travel Baby Toiletries
