Dear D'Arcy

9 September Best Sellers

9 September Best Sellers

9 September Best Sellers

 

Hello pretty ladies,

Happy October, My Favorite month of the year, and not just because it’s my birthday month. I love the colors, the changing leaves, all things pumpkin, the sweater weather, and the weather: crisp mornings 70-degree days, and cooler evenings. Comfort food, football season, pumpkin patches, and fall decorating. I adore October! 

September was a busy month and a great month for shopping sales and building your fall wardrobes. Today I am doing a recap on 9 September Best Sellers. These were best sellers because you loved them and shopped my picks. Thank you for your support and for shopping with me! Because of you, I get to do what I love: share and style for you. Thank you.

Styling leather crop pants 3 ways

-Chico’s faux leather crop wide leg

You’ll love the laidback look of our Brown Faux Leather Shacket. The design of this top layer resembles a shirt, but the function and weight of it act like a jacket.

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Fall transition outfits with Color 🍂🍁

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Hello pretty ladies; I hope you are having a great month. It seems as if September is flying by; we are seeing a glimmer of Fall weather here and there in Utah, but we still have the High 80s and low 90s, which makes wearing Fall sweaters and layers a little HOT! 🙂 Today, I thought I would share a few tips with you to get that fall vibe without the heat. I am sharing a few tips for Fall Transition outfits with Color.

 

Are you transitioning your outfits for Fall?

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip Fall color:

Try using Color… Fall transition doesn’t mean you have to add layers. It could be as simple as changing your color pallet✔️

 

Here I am wearing an oversized Gauze button-up by @petalandpup. It’s a perfect shade of Spiced Rust, paired with Cropped Mothers jeans, a pair of sandal clogs, and a Spiced Rust Felt hat🍂🍁

A Fall feeling… but the top breaths and is lightweight, cropped jeans, and open-toe shoes… easy to wear on an Indian summer day, yet gives the “feel” we want in the FALL months🍂🍁

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip:

Pull out your Fall colored clothing….Shades of cream, tans, browns, pumpkins, golden yellow, mustard, Rust, merlot, and plum. You’ll be surprised at what you can create for Fall from the Color you are ready to own.

Style Tip for Fall:

Most of us can’t wait to layer up in the Fall… but temperatures aren’t complying🍁🍂 So, add on Fall accessories! Change your sandal for a bootie or mule with a felt hat, a suede, or a leather bag. Easy to do and doesn’t add heat🔥

What makes a Best Seller?

Want to know how an item makes a best seller? It Is as easy as it sounds. It is the item that sells well on my blog or social media channels. So you, my followers, make purchases of things you like, and I pick the top 10 to 12 of that month’s top purchased items. Favorites, if you will.

 

The Top Selling Item 3 months in a row!

The Josselyn sandals have been a top seller every month since I started sharing them at the end of February! These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They are comfy and stylish and go with everything from flares to Summer dresses. So flattering! Made by Sam Edelman, they are not cheap shoes, but you’ll wear them for years.

What’s in my Beach Bag

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. 

 

 

More Beach Bags

My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍 My greates My greatest joy is being their MOM 🤍🤍🤍

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built.🤍

Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so very proud of and thank God every day for,
 but to the home we opened up to others and the family that came from friends and children we’ve been so blessed to have apart of our lives.

Family is something you build not just something you’re given. It truly brings me so much joy to have a full home, to feed others, open our hearts and be a safe space. 

I am grateful everyday for those in our life’s and apart of our “FAMILY” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Thankful to the two that made me a CoCo @hampton.v_  @kaylee.thompson24 🤍 The love & joy he brings is something nobody could have prepared me for🤍

I know Mother’s Day can be hard for some, with their mamas no longer with them or with having a hard time becoming one on their own🙏🏻🤍 my heart goes out to you! You’ll be in my prayers🙏🏻

🌸Happy Mother’s Day pretty ladies and my your day be full of everything you need it to be🤍🤍🤍

A few of my favorite quotes ⬇️⬇️⬇️

“Motherhood: Because privacy is over-rated”. —Russ Ediger

“Thank God for a praying mother”. —Bobbie Burrow

“Faith is the foundation of a strong, loving family and Mama is the cornerstone”. —Renee Daniels

“Moms just know… How to help. How to heal. How to listen. How to love.”
