Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Do you have those Summer pieces you wore over and over and are sad when it comes time to pack them away? These are pieces that don’t transition into Fall. Summer short, Summer Printed tops and dresses, Sandals you loved, and those perfect Straw hats and Fun Summer Bags. I sure do, These pieces I wore to death all summer long and genuinely hated having to pack them away, Partly because it means the end of summer and partly because these pieces brought me joy all summer long. 

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

 

These linen shorts HERE from Old navy I purchase in the stripe and four solid colors. So affordable, comfortable, and easy to style. I wore with a tank or graphic tee and if not to hot-finished off with a denim jacket. Shop the whole look HERE.  Picking up summer pieces on SALE for next year is always a great idea and like Christmas when you unpack your summer clothing! 

 

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

My favorite sandal this year by far! I purchased my tan shoes from my girlfriends little boutique Rowan in California. Best purchase ever, I could have worn every day they worked with every outfit I put together. Forcing myself to grab other sandals (lord knows I own plenty!) These would be great for traveling just for that reason. Here, and Similar in tan HERE and HERE

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away!

 

Those fun straw bags and favorite espadrilles we all love and collect scream all things summer! I am a sucker for cute bags and shoes. They get me every season, but especially in the summer. These are very hard for me to say goodbye. The struggle is so real 🙂 but let’s face it transitioning these cuties into Fall is pushing it. It’s time to say goodbye for now and see you in a year. Bring out the booties and fantastic leather bags, and this Fall, you might even be seeing some fringe. Shop these shoes here.

I like to store all my summer bags in the totes below; I like the clear bins so I can see them. I store all my Summer sandals in the shoe storage, also shown below.

 

I loved the Blazer and Bermuda shorts trend this year, Yes Blazer’s transition great into every season, but as I stated above, shorts are hard, especially in Utah. All though you can wear with a sweater and sweatshirt on chillier evenings or a crisp day, those days are far too little living here in Utah or Mountain communities. Packing these guys away, Tip, I like to roll all my shorts and store in bins showed below. Shop this look HERE

More shorts and here I am showing one of my favorite Summer straw hats, Spf 50 sunscreen built-in! Straw hats unless its a cowboy hat is for Summer and time to pack away. Shop this look HERE  Now, thank goodness Kimonos transition well for Fall unless a bright Summer print, so keep those out for a little while longer. 

Check out at the end of this post how I like to store my hats and other treasures.

Shop my Favorite Shorts on SALE from Nordstrom sale below

Although I love,  I move all my Floral, summer printed tops, skirts, and dress in summer colors to the back of my closet. My Fall and Winter wardrobe is full of darker and more Fall & Winter seasonal colors. Black, gray, cream, wine, spiced, mustard, navy, etc. Shop this look HERE

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

Floral Prints and what to do?

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away! My love of floral prints always has me sad to see them go. Fall color florals transition into Fall so you can keep those out for a little longer, but as I stated above, Summer florals should be packed away. Note my favorite sandals here again:)  

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away!

What do you do with those seasonal dresses?

Dresses can be so versatile and can be great wardrobe builders, but unfortunately, some dresses do scream their season, like above, it truly is a Summer/Spring dress. Find it HERE. Just like a sweater dress is a Fall/Winter dress. If you purchase a ton of this season’s tee shirt dress, You can keep those out and transition those into your Fall wardrobe by adding layers and wearing with booties or tennis shoes. Suppose you have darker colored or dark or fall printed dresses that transition perfectly as well. I’ll be sharing some Fall transition looks all upcoming week in my stories and my Instagram feed, so make sure you follow along. 

Sharing with you what I am Saying Goodbye to Summer with and what Fashion I am packing away! I hope I inspired you to say goodbye to Summer in a pleasant way and maybe even get a little organized to make room for that Fun FALL fashion. ( Hope you checked out My Fall picks from the Nordstrom SALE HERE, HERE, HERE)

 

            Do your Pack up our closet or shift you’re seasonal close to the back?

Speaking of packing, do you pack up your Summer clothing and accessories, or do you move them to the back of your closet?  I do both, I pack up some items, and I shift other pieces to the back. I thought you might like some of my favorite closet organizing containers for packing up Seasonal pieces in your closet. These pieces can also help you organize your closet regularly. Shop organizing below

How do you feel about Saying Goodbye to Summer? Are you Packing away any Fashion? I’d love to know how you handle your closet for the seasons, comment below! OX, D’Arcy

This salad is so easy to make and you’ll love how tasty it is. You can eat it on a bed of romaine lettuce and a side of grilled chicken or just plain.

Greek Salad:

4 on the vine tomatoes cup up

1 English Cucumber cut up

1 cup Kalamata Olives

1 cup red onion chopped up

Italian dressing of your choice

Feta cheese (if doing whole30 leave off) use the amount you like 

Add all items together and mix with dressing (I leave the cheese out and top my salad when I serve) As this makes enough for 4 servings. I like to make a batch and have it for a couple of lunches. Serve as is or on a bed of Lettuce of your choice, also great with grilled chicken. 

I really enjoyed sharing with you a few of my Summer favorites and I have a few friends that are also sharing their favorites today as well. I hope you’ll go check them out. Have a Beautiful Summer day. OX, D’Arcy

Ways to Entertain and Dress Festive for 4th of July

 

 

Friday Bar cart styling summer Nautical, Watermelon moscow mules

Friday Bar cart styling summer Nautical, Watermelon moscow mules

Bar cart day bbq , bar cart styling , bbq fun,

Can you believe the 4th of July is a little over a week away! Seriously Summer just flies by, and I love to soak up every minute of it. This year the 4th is going to look a little different for all of us. Many of the activities we all love and enjoy May be canceled,  For instance, parades, festivals, firework displays, and breakfast in the parks. however, this doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate American and this great Country in a little different way. (Did you know Utah is the number 1 most patriotic state?) Family BBQs, Backyard pool parties, or a lake day, little sidewalk fireworks, or even a small neighborhood firework display (if allowed in your city). Family and friends are what makes a Holiday special, So put on that American the great playlist, Plan the grocery shopping list and pull out all the stops on your Home decorating.

Our front porch welcomes & celebrates America, and I hope it gets you excited for what’s beyond the front door.  I wanted to share with you a red, white, and blue nautical Bar cart perfect for serving drinks, a festive snack table to keep guests happy and tummies full before dinner, and our Stars and stripe dining table perfect for entertaining a small crowd. I hope they will inspire you to entertain this 4th of July and maybe make some new traditions.

   Tip for creating an eclectic and festive tablescape for entertaining is to gather up all the items you have in the colors theme you are using, here, of course, is red, white, and blue. Don’t worry about the patterns. A mix is part of the fun. Place all our items in your workstation, take inventory and see what your missing (plates or glasses, etc.) This act will allow for easier shopping. Another tip would be to collect items that can quickly work for other occasions (think solid colors, patterns not necessarily the Holiday pattern.)

   Try to think of other Holidays or events you could use items to decorate with. Say the Red polka dot bowl. The item could be used for Christmas, Valentine’s day, 4th of July, and even a Birthday.  Layering is also another tip, layering tablecloths, placemats, ribbon, chargers, etc. Layering adds texture, for instance, if I removed the mesh ribbon from the center of the table below, The centerpiece of the table would look flat and not as interesting. Layering creates texture. Play with the items you’ve collected and remember to group in odd numbers, use dishes as risers to give your display height dimensions, and use some unexpected things. Using denim pockets from old jeans for the silverware holders is unexpected and useful.

My inspiration was all things red, white, and blue, days of Summer from the past. Coke and cherries remind me of hot summer days and add a little nostalgia to the tablescape. I created easy shopping for you below. Some of the items I have used are vintage and some I have been collecting for years. I did find a lot of similar items or pieces that could easily be substituted. Mixing things collected, vintage and new gives it that fun pop.  For more Idea’s and products Shop my Amazon shops HERE

Now that we have the entertaining covered, let’s talk dressing festively. You could use the same concept I used for entertaining/ creating a tablescape, Collect all the Red white and blue clothing items and accessories, and create your outfits from the pieces you collected from your closet. You’d be surprised how many festive outfits you could put together from what you already own. Below you will find I created five 4th of July outfits from pieces I have owned for years. White Jeans HERE a Summer staple and my RED Tory Burch Miller sandals HERE are pieces I wear all supper long. Pair them with a Gingham top below and festive jewelry for that perfect Summer night outfit/BBQ. I added an easy shopping bar below to help you find a piece or two that works for all of the Summer season and perfect for the 4th of July. Shop the outfit HERE

4th of July outfit

4th of July perfection says the dress below, unfortunately, it sold out. Still, I listed some adorable alternatives below.  The straw bag is perfect for the Summer season, and I added this cute designer dupe bow pin to make it perfect for the 4th of July. Shop the look HERE or shop the post below 

4th of July outfit

Easy peezy outfit that says 4th of July without having a flag or saying 4th of July. Pulling red white and blue pieces out of your wardrobe that you wear all summer and pairing them together creates a Holiday look without actually purchasing a 4th of July item. Stripes are one of my favorite things, and I love you can mix a bold stripe and small stripe. Shop the look HERE or shop the page below

4th of July outfit

Chic and festive pulling basics out to create a Holiday look everyone can wear. Navy blazer, classic white button-up shirt, distressed jeans and could also be worn with Bermuda shorts add festive accessories, and you’re ready to celebrate.  Show the look HERE or Shop the page below

4th of July outfit

The easiest dress to wear and style multiple ways for Summer. Here we’re shooting for 4th of July and celebrating America, so I paired this polka dot maxi dress with a denim jacket, a sun hat, and a patriotic star bandana. Easy and festive. You could also swap out the denim jacket and wear a striped sweater over your shoulders. Swap out the sun hat for a festive headband. Shop the look HERE or Shop the page below

4th of July Summer outfits

Welcome to our Home. Remember, your entryway tells the story of what your guest should expect when they enter your home. Make it as festive as your tablescape. I’ve been collecting items since owning my Home decor store “Pages of tyme” back in California starting almost 24 years ago. Some of these pillows are a treasure from those days. The lady that hand made them from some of the prettiest fabrics. This flag and rose pillow are hand embroidered. Remember to collect things that bring you joy. They’ll always work in your home when you love them.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, which means it’s prime time to shop online for a gift and still time for it to arrive on time. Shopping for my mom is honestly one of my favorite things to do because even though it can be a little tricky (doesn’t it seem like moms already have everything?!), I love being able to have a day to celebrate her, give her a thoughtful gift and thank her for everything she’s done for her family. She’s seriously the best –I love you, Mom!!

I also have to call out a few of my gift ideas below because although they’re all great options, I do have a few that are indeed my favorite. I asked for these earrings by Kendra Scott to go with the ring I purchase at Valentine’s Day. Also, this mask is perfect for any mama needing a moment of self-care and seriously beautiful skin! This Candle is one I had been wanting. My hubby surprised me with one a week ago or so as a just because gift… Seriously so good, I can’t stop burning. 

I hope you find one of my favorite things for your mom and maybe grab something for yourself. I know you’ll both be happy. Happy early Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!! You’re all fantastic and deserve the love!

Top At Home Hacks for Beauty

While we all have STAY at HOME orders, we are being faced with having to care for our beauty routines ourselves. I don’t know about you, but I love having my hair, nails, eyebrows done regularly. I also enjoy a facial. Now more then ever, we have to maintain ourselves in ways we usually don’t. You know I love an excellent self-care day…maintenance is a little different than touching up our roots, doing eyelash extensions, or applying a set of nails. Here are a few tricks and products that are coming to the rescue.

 

Blondes that are having a little trouble with roots, baby powder works excellent, sprinkle in a little at the roots and rub with fingers. Not only does it act as a dry shampoo and suck up oil, but it also helps cover darker roots. These root touch up sprays, washout, and can be used for any color hair! HERE and HERE (No mad hairdressers!)

This DRY shampoo also helps cover roots for blondes HERE.

Home manicures are a breeze with this easy to use kit. HERE I have been loving Gel effects by Aurora. A gel polish that does not require a light. Drys fast and lasts a week. Removable with regular nail polish remover.

My Favorite colors are HERE HERE HERE HERE.

All that hand washing is causing my already dry hands to be even dryer! I started using City Beauty’s Restoring Hand Treatment HERE and, my hands feel like I’ve had a paraffin wax treatment. Use code  DARCYV for 25% off

Hair removal is not something we love to do at home but, using Sally Hansen’s HERE Home Hair remover Is Affordable easy to use and doesn’t irritate my skin.

I like this one for my face/mustache HERE.

This one is great for bikini HERE.

This tool is a must-have tool to remove peach fuzz from the face and helps makeup go on smoother HERE.

I have three favorite Self Tanners that give a great glow that smell great and provide a beautiful real looking tan.

Coola Sunless tan, HERE, daily use gradually builds a natural tan. Love the pina colada scent. I highly recommend applying with Kabuki’s body, Brush HERE.

L’Oréal Sublime Bronze self-tanner water mousse I use the medium, it is also is a gradual build in color and doesn’t leave a bad smell HERE. I also adore the Isle of Paradise drops HERE

Keeping your skin hydrated and silky smooth is always essential for a tan. I love Brazilian Bum Bum Cream HERE Smells amazing and genuinely helps keep your skin soft and smooth, it also smells fantastic!

I wear lash extensions, but I have always used a lash serum to keep my lashes robust, long, and healthy. My Favorites are Wow the Crowd HERE, Grande Lash HERE, and Hello lash Therapy HERE. Perfect time to work on getting your lashes healthy and strong. These also don’t affect blue eyes. 

Do you feel like you need some lashes for a little normalcy? Try these HERE. These are my sister’s favorite as a makeup artist, and she suggests this glue HERE. Want to see her work? Follow her HERE Tiana Holiday 

We’re not heading to the Spa anytime soon, but Using CO2 lift Carboxy Treatment Mask for your face will have you looking like you left the medical Spa without the pain or downtime. This Mask increases hydration recapture the skins youthful glow reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles puffiness around the eyes, lifts, and smooths skin texture. Purchase HERE use code darcyvandenberg 10% off

For a simple easy to use a Sheet mask, City Beauty’s HydroMask packs a big punch and offers significant results, hydrates the skin, smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Purchase HERE use code darcyv for 25% off

I know hair has been a big concern for most ladies during this time. It’s the best time to pay extra care to your hair and treat it kindly since, regularly, we damage it so. Cutting back on heat tools, giving it a break from constant styling can help your hair and using a hair mask like Better not Younger’s butter masque repairs brittle, dull hair gives it the nourishment it’s been craving. Purchase HERE

Just a little something to make your Selfcare day a little special, I love these CANDLES they smell amazing and also make for a great gift. Another favorite Here and Here

I hope you are all safe and that you are treating yourself to a self-care day soon. OX, D’Arcy

9 Dry Shampoos Tried and Tested!

dry shampoo must

I have spent a lot of time trying & testing out a huge variety of dry shampoos to give you my honest opinion.

dry shampoo must

1. {Pantene} 2. {Batiste Wild} 3. {Batiste Tropical} 4. {Detox} 5. {Oribe} 6. {Oscar Blandi} 7. {Amika} 8. {La Soie} 9. {Living Proof}

dry shampoo must

Double knot bun with a hair scarf. Tip for creating fun buns is to have dirty hair. It gives you the texture you need to make a messy bun. To do this look simple divide hair into two sections, place in pony tails and pull almost through and pin ends, pull out some pieces to give it that messy look and tie with a scarf.

Hello Beautifuls, 

I couldn’t live without dry shampoo it’s a MUST have beauty staple. I have oily hair, not to mention silky and straight! I would have to wash my hair daily if it wasn’t for DRY SHAMPOO. As a teenager I used baby powder to skip a wash day ( I could do this as my hair has always been light). So you could see how excited I was to learn about this crazy good invention! I have been using for years now. I have also learned that the right dry shampoo give silky hair like mine texture which helps with styling and holding a curl. So if you only thought dry shampoo was to help skip a wash day, I am happy to share it’s good for more than that. I’ve tried almost every brand over the years and I have narrowed it down to these 9 dry shampoos that I have tried and test out for you. 

Dry shampoos are the perfect quick fix for great looking hair between washes. No water needed. It’s a great way to extend your blowout, free up time getting ready and add body & texture.

1. Pantene: Doesn’t disappoint, it’s affordable has a nice smell and instantly refreshes hair. They use tapioca starch to help absorb oils. This product is better for blondes as it does have a little powder residue. Comes in a 4.9oz can.

2. Batiste Wild: This instant hair refresh comes in a variety of scents, Wild has a musky scent. Batiste makes a dry shampoo for Brunettes which I would recommend if you are as if not stated so then it will leave a light powder residue. I love this brand because it does the trick at a super affordable price, one of the most affordable on the market. You can use this dry shampoo multiple days in a row without build up. I also like it’s one of the biggest dry shampoos you can buy. Comes in a 13.46 fl.oz can for around $7-9.

3. Batiste Tropical: This is the same as above but with a tropical scent that smells just like Summer. It has a powder residue but works great on blond hair. I love the scent and it’s become one of my go to Dry shampoos and also comes in a small travel size can.

4. Detox: By Drybar is my all time favorite! I love the smell, it gives the best texturing and helps my silky hair hold a curl. You should really have blond hair for this product as it does have a white powder residue but it rubs away. This only comes in a 3.5oz bottle and is a little pricey at $23 bottle.

5. Oribe: Gold Lust dry shampoo comes in a 6oz can and is one of the most expensive dry shampoos I used at $46 a can, ouch! While this product is a translucent dry shampoo that also absorbs product buildup and oil, plus ever hair color can use I didn’t think it did much more for the money. It had a plain scent and does not add texture, grip, or weight if that is something you need like I do. It does claim it nourishes and fortifies dry, damaged hair & maintains hair health and color vibrancy by extending a blowout.

6. Oscar Blandi: Revive and refreshes hair of all hair colors with this invisible dry shampoo spray. It removes product build-up, absorbs oil and boosts volume it has a nice perfume scent and is an overall great product if you want to spend $25 on 5oz

7. Amika:Perk Up dry shampoo is a talc-free, true dry cleanser that absorbs oil buildup and odor without talc or aluminum, adds volume and cools the scalp (none of the others cool the scalp) refreshes hair with natural rice starch. Leaves no white residue and has fresh perky scent. I didn’t like it as much as others simply because it’s more like a moose and goes on wet/foam. 5.3 oz $25.

8. La Soie: Dry shampoo helps perk up 2nd day hair and adds volume but I didn’t feel it helped absorbed oil. It can be used on all hair colors and didn’t have an overpowering scent but this is not one I’d purchase again.

9. Living Proof: Perfect hair day absorbs and removes oil, sweat and odor. Works on all hair colors because it leaves virtually no visible residue or powdery build-up behind. Gives you body and has a nice scent. I love when you purchase on amazon you get a bundle for $29.99 a regular size and travel! I seem to go through this brand fast.

I hope this helps you ladies out for purchasing your next dry shampoo. OX, D’Arcy

Hello Beautifuls,

Spring is in the air and I am so happy! It’s been such a long Winter. Spring is the perfect time to add some beauty products to your routine since the weather is changing, your products need a little adjustment. Items you really need for your Spring beauty routine that help and work with what you already use. You know I try out all the products before I share them with you. These are my tried and true beauty products and I have tried to give you them in a verity of price points. These products have made a difference in my skin, help you look your best and also help you with your beauty maintenance. These beauty products you’ll love and are easy to use in your everyday routine. Trust me your friends will take notice in your skin!

Here are a couple of tips I’ve learned over the years and share with you often but I love to give a little reminder.

I like to mix it up and do a moisturizing one and then maybe a brighting or tightening etc. I have been using this one {HERE} {HERE} AND {HERE} Also it’s important to exfoliate face and body once a week. this helps clear off dead skin and really helps your spray tans this time of year.

Hair Mask: This is a must for the season change, specially if you live where its dry like I do. I use a couple times a month ( I should probably be using once a week!) my go to: {HERE} {HERE} {HERE}.

Detox Water: Water is so important for your skin and your weight! I do drink a lot of water but I love a good detox and these are some of my all time favorite ways to add more water into your diet without adding calories. Perfect for detoxing and getting your skin and body ready for warmer months! Detox Water recipes {HERE} Detox water bottle {HERE} detox water {HERE} detox Oxygen water  {HERE}.

Tightening Cream: Who doesn’t want the look of tighter looking skin? Am I right? Here’s a few that can help give you the appearance of tighter looking skin {HERE} {HERE} {HERE}.

Happy New Year from our Family to yours❤️🎉🥂🎊
May 2021 be full of love, health and blessings❤️🙏🏻
.
2020 will go down in history! Although many challenges and uncertainties, we choose to focus on ALL of our blessings❤️🙏🏻 Health, A full home, More Family time (hey, we really like eachother 😂🥰) lots of cooking, Home project done and everything organized, lots of road trips and travels to support small business, decluttered  and car loads donated, books read, hand written notes sent, some goals achieved,  our family business, and MOST of all knowing God is in control, trusting him gave me peace. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
 The slowing down and enjoying our home and each other will be something I will always be grateful for.  We ALL need to look at 2020 as the year we could, enjoy the GIFT of TIME⏰⏲⏱🧭🕰⏳
....Although I know there were many difficulties times for others and tragic things happening everyday. There was also so many hidden blessings🙏🏻 Good bye 2020  you sure will be a year NOBODY forgets✔️

Tell me something Your so grateful for in 2020......

Way to Wear Wednesday✔️ Patterned jeans.... Do Way to Wear Wednesday✔️ Patterned jeans.... Don’t let Pattern jeans or pants scare you...I get a lot of questions on styling a printed pant. It really doesn’t have to be scary or difficult. It basically is the same as styling a printed top....just reversed🖤
The easiest way, is to pair  with a solid color or denim. (I suggest this for the first timers or people who find it difficult.) This is an easy way to wear and step In to pattern play.
If your adventurous you can pattern mix, I suggest a small pattern, if mixing leopard, plaid can be cute, a small polka dot or tiny floral looks great. I like to mix patterns and I a love the way a bold pattern looks with a small print. Just remember to stay in the same color pallet to help you feel comfortable with #patternplay 
I hope this helps you feel more comfortable styling a printed Jean✔️
