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.

Barbie Accessories

 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,

Hello Pretty Ladies,

( Stream live from anywhere  HERE. )

I thought it would be fun to share some Winter apparel to wear for Apres ski or items you can take on your next ski trip. So I shopped at local places to pick up things I thought were unusual and pieces you could wear all Winter long, whether you ski or not.

What to wear for Apres Ski

Winter Apparel 

Living in Utah, you need several good winter pieces to keep you warm, but let’s face it, if you like me, you want to look cute too…this is where Apres Ski comes in….

For Apres ski, you don’t have to be a skier. Whether you’re heading to the lodge for a yummy drink or a delicious meal, you could look like it. Because let me tell you, many ski areas have fantastic food.

Or if you’re Heading out to shop in a mountain town. For example, park City, Ut, Big Bear lake, Ca, Sun Valley, ID, or Aspen, Co. These looks will fit you right in.

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I am sure you are in full Holiday mode! We’ve finished with Thanksgiving and have almost wrapped up all the crazy good sales.

It’s time to deck the halls, create Holiday menus, and start thinking about what we’ll wear this Holiday season.  Today, I have a Fashion Fix Segment on ABC Good Things Utah. Stream from Anywhere HERE around 10:00 am Mnt. 

I Linked the Taped show HERE ! 

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

What I wore on the Show.

SHOP THE PHOTO (tap on an item below)

 

For today’s show, I created a Holiday wardrobe Capsule with Chico’s to ease you through the Holiday season. Everything you need to create Holiday looks, from Shopping in style, lunch with the girls, cookie exchange, cocktail party, Company party, Holiday entertaining, and even Chic loungewear. 

 

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

Why a wardrobe capsule works:

Having a collection of clothing that works together, yet has a couple of essential/wardrobe builders as the base of the capsule, helps you get dressed quickly. Each piece mixes and Matches with other pieces to create several different looks. 

 

What is a wardrobe Capsule:

A regular Wardrobe Capsule is key pieces or what I like to call classic pieces to build your wardrobe!

(More on that HERE)

I wanted to create a Holiday Wardrobe Capsule to help those who have a lot to do and things to attend this season but take the stress of “What to wear away!”  

 

About the Chico’s Holiday Collections: 

 Chicos Holiday collection this year is more than Sequins, bling, and Velvet that we associate with the Holiday. It’s also dressed up denim, beautiful cashmere blends, and some new colorways besides the traditional Red, green and black.

Although there are several traditional textures and colors, we’re also seeing Teals, Aquas, and even shades of rich Carmel and elegant winter whites. Teal and Aqua are showing up at many stores this season for decorating and wardrobes. All of these colors mix well together. Which makes creating a Holiday look easier. 

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

Holiday Pieces 

These are festive & Holiday pieces I chose to help you create Looks you’ll wear all season & even Winter:

Dark Denim Cuff jeans with rhinestone detail in shades of Teal & Aqua

Teal top ruffle detail

Sequins Leggings

White cashmere sweater with Silver Rhinestone details

Cashmere Tunic 

Cashmere Joggers 3 colors  Ivory, Carmel, Teal

Satin Ball chain collar shirt in Iced Jade

Pearl embellished cardigan

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

Wardrobe BASIC pieces from the Holiday collection

These are more essential pieces to help build your wardrobe. These pieces are great wardrobe builders and a little more classic, yet you could wear them for years. I strongly suggest having these pieces in your wardrobe and work for every day, Yet they can easily be dressed up.

Cashmere Lounge suit-Perfect for looking chic while prepping for the Holiday, running Errands, simple home get-togethers, or even Holiday travel. Great for Mix & match

Wear a sweater with your favorite jeans, or dress up with slacks. Wear joggers with a white button-up & faux leather vest. 

Black coated slim denim-Is a classic fit and can be worn with a basic sweater or graphic tee. 

TIP: for Holiday, pair with a festive Top or sequins sweater, add heels, and an instant Holiday look.  Think Cocktails, date night, work party

Faux Leather quilted vest– Leather always “ups” the design element and dresses up a look.

TIP: Wear over a basic button-up and jeans, and pair over a sweater or shirt dress looks great as a “3rd” piece over most basic outfit combos.

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

White Button-up with ruffle collar: This darling top takes a classic button-up up a notch! The ruffle collar detail makes it perfect for the holidays, adding a touch of romance, but still perfect to wear all year round!

Holiday Wardrobe Capsule with Chicos

A black long-shirt dress is perfect to wear as a dress or a duster year-round. Use the belt as a bow to dress it for the Holidays!

On local channel 4/KTVX. Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing on the show and a couple of styling tips.

 Purchasing classic pieces is always my first suggestion to build a great wardrobe. I do, however, love that you can pick up a few key trending pieces at affordable prices to help give your whole wardrobe a fresh, updated look.

A few essential clothing and accessory pieces can be added to your Fall wardrobe to give it an updated look. These eight key Staple pieces are trending this Fall and work well to mix and match with your own pieces.

Trending Pieces

Every season we see a few new trends come into play, and it’s always fun to add a couple of these trends to your wardrobe that can give your classic pieces a fresh new look.

Platform loafers 8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall Wardrobe 

A fun way to update your classic look, These shoes are the perfect go-to shoes for Fall and can be worn with anything from jeans to shorts, from skirts to dresses. I love them styled with slightly cropped frayed jeans, a great tee or sweater, and a blazer. 

Purchase Here and use code DARCY10 for 10% off

Button up

Yes, a great button-up is always a classic wardrobe staple. But think about an oversized gauze button-up in excellent Fall color. This oversized button-up makes a great piece worn alone with jeans but is a perfect (3rd piece) statement layer worn open over a bodysuit.

Leather is traditionally a textile for Fall and winter, But it is coming in strong this year, showing up not only in jackets but in every style of pants. From skinny, wide leg crop, straight leg, and bow waisted. 

  Great for adding texture to your wardrobe and easy to style. Pair with Denim, classic button-up, plaid, a blazer, or even a cardigan depending on the style you want to achieve.

Let’s Talk Trending Jeans:

The wide leg– wide-leg lengthens your legs, accentuates your waistline, and shows off all your curves, making it an incredibly flattering silhouette on bodies of all shapes and sizes. 

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall Wardrobe 

A flared leg– Universally flattering, flared jeans come in numerous iterations, including high, mid, and low rise waists – regardless of body type, there’s a pair that will work for you. The wider hemline helps to balance out pear shapes, larger busts, and wide shoulders, as well as drawing the eye down and away from your middle.

Slim straight leg-These always-right jeans lay the groundwork for great style with a classic, clean-cut fit.

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

Indio and Green

Straight-leg jeans are the more laid-back, less body-conscious cousin of skinny jeans. If you do not love skin-tight jeans, try straight jeans instead. Hourglass, apple, and athletic shapes will all rock a straight leg with style and grace.

Skinny jeans– while they aren’t trending, they still have a place in our closet. This is a jean that works with the Tall boots and the trending western boots, plus balances the oversized western cardigans and even blazers. 

(I will share next week how to style your skinny jeans in a fresh way.)

The Cropped Cardigan

It pairs well with high-waisted pants, mid-rise, and flared styles. The cropped sweater, cardigan, and jackets add balance to this pants style! 

I like the hip-length style for my shape as I don’t have a waist and am more straight up and down and hide a touch of tummy. If you want to accentuate your waist, purchase a cropped piece that is more tapered versus boxy.

Western Vibe/ Yellowstone trend:

The western vibe has been inching its way into Fall fashion for a couple of seasons, and this year it’s here in a BIG way. The look of the west is here, and I am all about it✔️ Today, I am sharing a couple of pairs of Boots. A cowboy pair and a tall western inspired

8 Staple pieces to UP your Fall Wardrobe 

The Western Boots:

We’re seeing western-inspired boots and cowboy boots everywhere, and they’re being styled with dresses & skirts and flares and skinny-to-skies with cropped pants. 

Tall western boots can be worn with Skinny jeans, leggings, and dresses and skirts. 

White Cowboy style boots can also be worn with the above but work great under a flared and some straight-leg jeans.

Western-inspired booties are also all the rage and can be worn with cropped pants, dresses and skirts, and jeans as long as there are about 1 1/2 inches of space between the boot and hem.

Western-inspired Cardigans:

I love the Aztec/ western vibe of the oversized cardigan and sweaters of the season. A great warm and cozy mountain vibe with a little fresh update. Worn great with your skinny jeans and tall boots for balance. Yet, looks comfy with your straight-leg jeans or worn over a shirt dress.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

 

 

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

 

 

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. 

Hats

 

 

Bags

 

 

 

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

 

 

 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

5. 2 Piece Sets-

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match. 

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

 

 

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.” 

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

 

 

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing The recipe & How to make Elvis’s Favorite Sandwich, On Good Things Utah, for a promotion for the upcoming Elvis movie. So, my first time, I’ll be sharing a recipe on tv. However, I am used to sharing fashion, so I might be slightly nervous this time. (Wish me luck!)  

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I share recipes and cooking in my stories. I love to cook for my family and share it with my followers. 

A funny thing…My hubby the other day made a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and I said, “oh, you’re making the Elvis sandwich!” He said, “what?” Ben had no idea that was Elvis’s favorite Sandwich! He said, “how do you know that?” I told him I had heard it years ago when I was a kid and never forgot it. My mom adored Elvis. I am sure it was her that said something. It’s a southern thing!

Now, Elvis liked his Sandwich grilled and made with a lot of butter and even bacon fat! So I am making it without the bacon fat and a little less butter! But feel free to make it the Elvis way!

Elvis Movie

Watch the Tv Segment on Good Things Utah

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana

The Recipe: 

Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich 

Two slices of white bread

2 tablespoons butter

1 small ripe banana mashed

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

 

Directions

  • Place two pieces of white bread in the toaster on a light setting. Heat skillet over medium heat with two tablespoons of butter. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, using a fork, mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency. Using a knife, take both pieces of the toasted bread and spread two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, topping one side with the mashed banana. Place one slice of bread on top of the other, forming a sandwich. Place sandwich in a hot skillet, browning each side and flipping with a spatula for about 2 minutes per side. Take out of the skillet, slice on a diagonal, and serve on a plate.

Tip: This would be good drizzles with warm chocolate or honey. This Sandwich is warm, delicious, and gooey. You might want to eat it with a fork.

Soma Has All You Need to Pack For A Summer Getaway

Tips on packing light & stylish:-

Packing for a weekend can be daunting And overwhelming, not to mention over-packing. A great way to avoid over-packing is to pack items that mix and match well. Along with items that serve a couple of purposes.

For instance, Soma Soft Wrap can be worn as loungewear, a lightweight jacket over a dress or paired with jeans, or with your workout wear. You could even use it as a bathing suit cover-up. 

The Soma Cotton gauze robe could be worn as a robe, bathing suit cover, and as a duster pair with jeans and a tank. 

Packing items that can serve a dual purpose really helps keep packing easier and lighter.

Tip 2

Packing everything in a color theme really helps, with packing fewer shoes (which saves a ton of weight and space.) Also helps coordinate and minimize the jewelry and accessories. Along with helping with the above tip, things mix and match better.

This Chapter…. My Melanoma Cancer Journey Shari This Chapter…. 
My Melanoma Cancer Journey 

Sharing my journey this far…Today, is 3 week post surgery.
 
Being told you have cancer is a roller coaster of emotions…
This is a journey none of us think you’re going to head down.

You can choose so many different paths to let your brain and emotions go…

I choose to give it to God, and to ask for your prayers, along with following my heart.

I knew I needed to stay positive and trust the process.
(Did I have scary thoughts and some tears, YES, Yes I did) 
But, honesty it wasn’t long. 

Once I gave it over, and trusted him and the process, along with asking for your prayers. 

I was at complete peace. Thank you for all my prayer warriors, I know I got the results I did because of you and your prayers. 

I’ve been told, I am strong, a warrior and so brave for sharing my journey. 
Honestly, I truly don’t feel that way at all, I fell like it’s a process to share, to help others and to help it not feel as scary! 

I didn’t know what to expect,  didn’t know what having my face cut up, or knowing what any of the processes or procedures were (I would have loved to have known…)

If I was going through this and these emotions, so were others. 

My hope in sharing  the journey, would help others to know the importance of getting your skin checked. 
In knowing the processes, and knowing we can do scary things, and we can get through them.

They say it takes a village to raise kids, but it also takes a village & prayers to get through life.🙏🏻

Thank you for all your support, love, prayers, DMs and messages of support.
I couldn’t have done it without all of you🙏🏻

Tomorrow is my first laser🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ll share who that goes in stories tomorrow 😉

⚠️Please note Melanoma is a very aggressive Skin cancer and is very different than other “skin cancers” I explained more about this in my prior lives.

⚠️Share this post, if you know someone going through melanoma ⚠️

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma
