What’s in my Beach Bag

What’s in my Beach Bag

Hello Pretty ladies,

If you caught Wednesday’s Chit chat chic live, you know we shared about our beach bags and what we like to take along with us to the beach, pool, or lake.

Now that the boys are grown, it looks slightly different than the oversized sand-proof totes and all the toys and essentials. The one big plus to midlife is you only have to take what you want/need and maybe think of my hubby. So with that said, I am sharing items I have taken in my bag on vacation.

The Beach Bag

This bag from WHBM is now on SALE, and I am telling you, YOU want it! It holds a ton, is sturdy, and oh so fun with its leopard print and large straw tassel.

The Cup

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am a huge Ice tea and water drinker. And if I am poolside/waterside, I will also have a cocktail… so, yes.. you could find me with three cups at the pool🥤🍹😂Here are the cups we own and take along⬇️

Sun Hat

You know I am a hat girl✔️, And I have some favorite Summer hats I wear year after year. I like they stay on my head and cover my face from the sun. Lack of color and Gigi pip are my go-to brands for styling and excellent quality hats.

The Towel

I am a little picky about my beach/ pool towels. I have always liked having them all match to keep track of them. Also, I Like them oversized and very fluffy. I love the Pottery Barn towels and the classic black and white stripe.

The Suntan lotion

Suntan lotion and browning lotion, I love the Tula suntan lotion for my face, Sun bum for my body, and browning lotion for my legs to help get a golden brown tan.

SunGlasses

Great sunglasses are a must for poolside or beach days, and I love to have a pair of sunglasses that can also serve as readers. Peepers created just that. Two in one. Below are the pairs I have and use.

Books and Tunes

Who doesn’t love a good Summer read and some tunes? I sure do, and below are a few of my past books I’ve loved reading poolside, along with how we listen to some tunes. We love the JBL speaker. It’s waterproof, Bluetooth, and lightweight, which gives off a great sound. Apple eye buds are great if needing to be personal versus music for a group.

Extra’s

Below is a few other bag essentials, I always have In my bag, a face mist by Tula, the Tula I balm, A couple of Coola Suncare products. and my favorite Havana flip-flops.

Spanx Shorts Styled 2 Ways

Hello pretty ladies,

Hoping you had a beautiful Mother’s day. I took the day off social media. No Mother’s day tribute to my mom or about being a mom. I love taking the time to do a good tribute and read all of the tributes being posted. But, yesterday, I just wanted to keep my phone put away. I know you, sweet ladies understand that.

I shared these great shorts by Spanx on Saturday over on my Instagram. “Styled two ways.” I realized that would make for a great quick styling blog post. On the go, 6-inch inseam Spanx shorts fit amazing, are a perfect length for moms and midlifers (if you like your legs), are a flattering fit, and are easy to style from casual to date night.

: Casual Style

: Great for Travel

Casual Chic Styling

The casual Chic styling above is perfect for a Chic Casual look
That you can wear almost anywhere… From shopping with the girls, traveling, and brunch, These will definitely be part of my weekly Summer staple ✔️ I love a good stripe shirt and denim jacket look. This has a Parisian feel, with that bit of pop of leopard on the messenger bag strap, adding just a touch of extra print detail.

Shop the Look below:

Spanx isn’t just Shapewear.

Spanx doesn’t just design shapewear anymore. They have a full line of very figure-flattering clothing, from sportswear to dresses. I have been sharing their pieces every season for a while with you as I am a Spanx Partner, which gives me a slight advantage at sharing the Brand New releases just a little bit earlier.

: Spanx Short

Dressed up short, Styling.

Spanx shorts dressed up, this classic black short, is so easy to dress up for a date night, Summer bridal shower, or even a business lunch meeting, depending on how you style them. I wore a fancier top (lace over black bodice top shown here) paired with pearl accessories and a dressier summer sandal. But you could easily wear them with a blazer and heels with a dressy button-up or blouse. The possibilities are truly endless.

Shop the Dressier look below:

You’ll love this easy Strawberry Shortcake recipe, and so will your family. It’s so easy and oh so good.

You’ll need:

-2 packs of strawberries (cut up into small slices)

-1 small basket of strawberries washed and the tops removed (for garnish). I like a sprig of mint too.

-1 cup of sugar

-pound cake, angel food cake, or fruit snack cake cups (we like the cake cups or Pound cakes.)

In a large bowl, add cut-up strawberries and sugar, let sit to get juicy, then with a masher, smash up strawberries into a mixture of chunky strawberries & juice.

Homemade whipping cream:

-Heavy whipping cream (Cold) (depends on how many I am serving to what size pint, quart)

-Powdered sugar

Whip heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks, and slowly add powdered sugar until the sweetness you like. ( we like a little sweet, not too sweet)

Assemble Strawberry Shortcake:

Take a cake, layer the strawberry juice and a dollop of Whip cream and then layer a cake and repeat strawberries and top with whip cream and garnish with a couple of large berries and mint. Enjoy.

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Hello Pretty Ladies, I have shared with you that we are getting ready to list our home and researching ways to make the processes easier and faster. Here are “7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready” Put on your seatbelts – we are going on a crazy ride! Selling your home right now is a great idea financially, but it can also be very overwhelming to do. You might be wondering, “where do I even start?” I’m here to help! Here are a few ways to get your home sell-ready:

Fix any issues

First up: fix any issues before you consider listing them. You could tackle this two ways: only fix the issues that are very apparent (like holes in the walls) so that prospective buyers are more attracted to the home and make a better offer. Or fix as many issues (seen and unseen) that you know of to have a better inspection report come back. I prefer only to tackle sight seen issues because once you get the inspection report back, they will make repair requests…and even if you fix a lot beforehand, you WILL have things that pop up on your inspection, so you might as well fix only what you have to unless there is an actual serious issue that could deter buyers.

Meet with your agent and figure out a price

Once you prepare your home, your next step is to meet up with your agent (if you are using one!) to figure out a price. Right now, prices are wild, and it can be tough to know what price you should list your home at, so I recommend trusting a real estate agent that knows what they are doing. Of course, you want the most bang for your buck, and pricing it yourself could land you a bad deal. However, at the end of the day, any deal that YOU think works for you is a good deal.

Get everything deep cleaned.

Right before your listing goes on the market, you will want to declutter, de-personalize, and get your home deep cleaned so that it shines and looks its best! Of course, if you don’t have the time for this or want it in tip-top shape, you could always hire this out. Professional cleaners have the potential to do WONDERS when it comes to making your home look (and smell) great! This is definitely a must before letting people into your home when they are making a potentially life-changing offer.

Post your home on Facebook

When everything is live, go ahead and post your listing on Facebook. You could even post before your home goes live to gain traction and potentially get an off-market deal. However, doing this runs the risk of you getting less money overall because when it is on the market right now, you will (without fail!) have a bidding war, which will up the total price you get for the sale of your home. Nevertheless, posting on Facebook is always a great thing to quickly get people in the door!

Negotiate once you have a potential buyer

Once you have found a buyer, it’s time for negotiations! Everything can be negotiated, so don’t leave anything on the table. At the end of the day, it’s a seller’s market, and you have the option to get back-up offers, just in case something falls through. During negotiations, be kind, but make sure you are not bending to make an unreasonable request. This is the hardest part. You’ve got this!

Find a new home

Once you get through the hardest part, it’s not time for the fun! Finding a home of your own! Make your list of what you need and what you want, then set up an official home search. To make a competitive offer in this market, talk with your agent. With a lot of homes, they are moving quickly, and they are only willing to accept the best offer with a clean contract. Keep that in mind when house hunting, but make sure you don’t settle for something less than great!

Move!

Last but not least, the final step in this entire process is moving! This can be overwhelming and stressful, and nobody LOVES to do it themselves. To take care of that, hire it out instead. There are great companies out there that can help you with the moving process – like Movin’. They are residential movers and office movers in Salt Lake City, and they go above and beyond to ensure that all of their clients are 100% satisfied. After all, word-of-mouth reviews are their best reference! They say, “Moving is never fun. From the packing to the heavy lifting, it’s a big project that’s tough to handle on your own. So when you need to enlist the help of local movers headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, Provo-Orem, UT Metropolitan Statistical Area, and surrounding areas, you’ll want to find an experienced and well-equipped company to handle your move. When searching for moving companies near you, look no further than Movin’.”

Here are a few things, I have found that help your home smell good, I use them for cleaning and Items I organized to have cupboards and closets looking clean and tidy!

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The other night on our Chit chat chic Live, we had a fun “show and tell ” 5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For! And We thought it would make for a great blog post, with all the information and products shared. So, below is a recap of what we shared in case you missed it or needed a refresh. (Shop this outfit above Here)

1. Share a trendy accessory you’re loving right now.

Accessories are a big LOVE for me. They really do finish off an outfit and show your personality. I love a big statement ring, Arm Candy has always been a favorite, and this is 2 of my daily arm Stacks lately …My go-to earrings are always hoops… Classic, work with every hairdo, and really never go out of style. I tend to purchase from Kendra Scott, Uncommon James, Gorjana. I also have several Micheal Kor’s. As I love the quality and they always have great styles.

The ring finger is a 24-carat gold ring from Cartier ( I linked an affordable similar ring ) middle is Tiffany, the pointer is Kedra Scott on my wrist is a Diamond Tennis bracelet, layered with a Kendra Scott, and MiGnon Faget bracelet.

Some of my Favorite pieces, and go to Rings are below:

Arm candy Bracelettes:

Below are my go-to Hoops, which I repeatedly wear, with the beaded ones above my latest obsession…I have in Cream and just ordered the white.

2. What spring/summer sandal style will you wear (or are you already)?

Can I say, “I love Sandal season!” I don’t think you could ever have too many pairs! So, with that said! I will share what I’ve purchased this year, what I’ve been already wearing to Death, and the classic sandals I wear every year and add a new color to the mix.

Below are the styles I’ve already purchased and worn to death these last two months already.

Below are the sandals I have just recently purchased below:

The Miller Sandal by Tory Burch is an all-time classic and truly looks great with everything all Spring and Summer. But, if I were only to buy one sandal all year, I’d pick these. (I purchased my first pair in black leather over 8-9 years ago.) I believe (when they first came out) and have since added White, red, and natural.

Here’s a couple of outfit inspirations wearing THE MILLER sandal below:

: Black gold Millers

: Red Millers

: Summer linen is one of my favorite things and clearly yours too. You guys purchased a ton of these pants, and I wasn’t surprised because they are one of my favorite things, easy to style and were on SALE.

Shop the white linen pants Here and the outfit here.

3. What’s your favorite retail store currently? And why?

This question truly is hard… because it depends on what you are looking for. So I am turning it around to where I’ve been shopping lately and what I have purchased!

–Evereve -Spring Wardrobe builders= Linen pants, Dress, Trench coat, shoes, Tank

–Free People =Jeans, Duster,

–Anthropology = Candles, Pant, lip Balm, Mug, Sweater, and Hat

–Nordstrom= Tennis shoes, Miller sandals, Deodorant, Earrings, jeans, Gift

–Saks= Sandals, Handbag, sandals, belt, perfume lotion

–Amazon= Seriously, too many items to list because I order something every day from household to clothing 😂 Here’s been a favorite or two: Watch charger, Barstools, slippers, Jewelry Organizer, Blazer

–H&M= wardrobe basics in Neutrals see my $100 challenge HERE

–Loft= The BEST joggers I wear on repeat and a denim mini skirt I love so much I bought it two years in a row🤦🏼‍♀️

–Target= Like you, I am sure I shop at Target weekly for anything from Food to clothing and home goods. A Target trip brings me joy♥️ But Honestly, Target has been a real miss for me lately on the clothing… Here are a few things I did pick up on the Home goods side that brought me joy.

–Bohme= Wide-leg Denim, Top, Tee, and Bralette

–Avara= Top, jeans, Tunic sweater (save 15% with code DARCY15)

–Sephora= Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow set, Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, CT Lipstick, Perfume, YSL Lipstick (Stay tuned for my Sephora Haul Tomorrow for the Annual SALE)

–Cabana Life= Resort wear perfect for pool time and tropical vacations. Tunic, bathing suit, pool pants, dress

4. What do you like to wear to sleep in?

Cami and short sets are my go too. I love a chemise and, on occasion, a PJ pant set, but it has to be super soft, and I do like the cool nights by Soma. I am very tactile and like my pj’s to be very soft, including lace. And I really like a cami-style strap.

My favorite brands are:

–Soma

–Adore Me

–Hanky Panky

–PJ Harlow

-Pj salvage

–PrintFresh

Print fresh & Pj Salvage I wear Around House and lounging (I do not sleep in). I adore their patterns and styles—these work to be comfy and cute around the house as a mom of boys.

Shop Some of My Favorite Below:

5. Hats or no hats?

If you follow me, you already know the answer! Hat adoring girl here! I’ve collected hats since Jr. High school, and I still have some of them! I adore a good hat of any style. From Ball caps, beanies to Felt and straw! I will definitely spend good money on a high-quality hat, but that doesn’t mean I won’t grab an affordable, trendy one.

Here are a few of my All-time favorite hats, and a couple of my latest purchases:

Places to Shop in Louisiana

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Looking for some fun & beautiful places to shop while you are in Louisiana? We have some great places to visit In Baton Rouge, about an hour out of New Orleans, which is worth the drive. Perkins Row is in the heart of Baton Rouge’s Medical and shopping district with the latest fashion trends and upscale, boutique-style shops and delightful restaurants. Towne Center at Cedar Lodge is an open-air center with premier shopping & dining paired with beautiful Architecture and landscaping. We enjoyed both the shopping and the dining experience as each center has its charm with different style shops, landscape, and dining. Below you’ll find the shops we Highlighted at each location.

Magazine Steet, Located in New Orleans, is widely known and has become a destination. A street full of old homes turned into storefronts mixed in with cafes and coffee shops, giving it a little bit of a town’s main street feel, yet has the charm of “old world.”

What’s a girl’s Trip without shopping and lunch? Sharing below a couple of shops that hosted us at each location and the details of each. I hope you enjoy it.

Perkins Row in Baton Rouge

Krewe, Founded in 2013 by Stirling Barrett, KREWE creates iconic handmade Italian frames that celebrate individual taste. KREWE sunglasses are fitted with superior quality lenses and feature a variety of styles from round and square to butterfly and aviator. Durable barrel hinges and sharp attention to detail complete each pair, lending them unmatched comfort and protection.

How cute is this little Pop-up shop by KREWE? Located At Perkins Rowe, Krewe originated in Louisana and has made a name for themselves as a leader in the Sunglass world with their killer optics and frame designs. We were treated to Champagne, hosted by a darling sales girl who was helpful and a delight to work with.

Versona

Versona is a fun apparel, jewelry, and accessories brand with a unique approach to fashion priced right every day. You’ll find trendy pieces for every age at a price you can afford.

Versona, at Perkins Rowe, had a lovely and helpful staff that gave us a little back history of Versona. It was fun to hear how they started and would take over many of Charming Charles’s locations. So, you too could have a Versona coming near you soon. But, until then, you can shop Versona online with ease.

We were treated to a gift card to pick an Item. Below, you’ll see one outfit I created in my beloved Neutral color pallet (something I think will be BIG for Spring). I purchased the Faux leather shacket and a denim Chambrey button-up shirt (which I forgot to take a photo of! ). Shop the Look Below.

Magazine street, In New Orleans

Retail street stores offer a delightful antidote to the typical mall experience. Clusters of shops are interspersed with charming homes and a mix of renovated warehouses and shops selling housewares, pottery, period furniture, clothing, books, glass, toys, china, soaps, and jewelry. Magazine Street is the ideal spot for a leisurely walk-about, with plenty of coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants to provide a pit stop and refreshment to the tired shopper. New Orleans.com

Mignon Faget

Mignon Faget’s jewelry is as modern as today when she first began designing over 50 years ago. Drawing inspiration from the world around her, the creations feature an effortless mix of natural, organic forms and bold, sculptural lines. Mignon’s revolutionary approach to deconstructing and reconstructing recognizable shapes marks her as an unrivaled innovator in jewelry design—

Each Mignon Faget piece is designed on historic Magazine Street in New Orleans.

We were treated to a HALO BANGLE PEARL GOLD PLATED bracelet, which I have worn every day! It layers with all of my other bracelets so well.

Off Magazine St.

House Floats are all over New Orleans (most near Magazine street). They took over for the canceled parades due to covid last year. So instead of people gathering for parades, you could drive around and look at the house parade. AKA House Floats… People loved it so much they continued to do it again this year. Mignon Faget’s House float was Amazing, as were so many. We just didn’t have time to stop and take photos. There were so many over-the-top decorations, but we had a lot of one-way streets and an appointment we had to get to.

Baton Rouge Towne Center at Cedar Lodge

Loft

THE LOFT, Women’s Fashion from feminine to casual, has been in business for over 20 years and has hundreds of storefronts in both outdoor and indoor mall locations. Loft at Towne Center treated us to a fun shopping and try-on session. The staff created try-on racks before our arrival, with the latest Spring fashion making it easy for us to spot and try on the latest pieces.

I always like to browse the shop and check out the displays, as that is one of the fun parts of shopping. Also, how I make sure not to miss something! In which I found these Navy Joggers, I knew at first glance that they would be like my favorite Level 99 joggers (in Camo) I found last year, and the Loft ones are 1/2 the price. Score! When trying them on in hopes they’d fit like my favorite pair, They did and I wished they had in several colors. (online they have Navy and Grey) Lisa and Cammi grabbed a pair as well. I told them they’d be their favorites and sure enough, they’ve worn on repeat.
