Dear D'Arcy

Fall Prints You’ll love this Season: Bandana Print and Paisley Print

Fall Prints You’ll love this Season: Bandana Print and Paisley Print

Fall Prints You'll love this Season: Bandana Print and Paisley Print

Hello,

Pretty Ladies, I hope your week is off to a good start. It’s so hard for me to believe we’re in the final days of September. My favorite season is always the shortest. I just adore Fall and Fall fashion. Crisp mornings and evenings, with perfect temperatures during the day. Today, I am talking about a classic, fun print that lends itself to a western and boho vibe.

Bandana and paisley prints are showing up in a big way this Fall; I am seeing them everywhere, from accessories to clothing. This print doesn’t have to be styled western or boho; you can wear it on its own or style it more preppy, with a Ralph Lauren vibe. I purchased a pair of slightly barrel jeans this summer and have loved them. Styled them casually below, and also have styled them with my version of how Ralph Lauren would style them in layers. 

I ordered a pack of these 4 Bandanas, perfect to tie on a bag, wear around your neck, in your hair, or tie through your belt loop or even your cowboy boots. Along with this cardigan, the perfect layer over a T-shirt and jeans. I’ll be styling it as soon as it arrives. 

Below, I have scoured several websites to find you items that make it easy to add a little touch of this trending print into your wardrobe this fall. You can add a touch with a pair of socks or a scarf. Make a statement with a sweater or skirt.

Are you excited to play around with this trend? Tell me below.

My Picks In Stock: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

My Picks In Stock: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! Is NOW open for everyone. Hoping you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list. I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up.

I’ve been shopping this Sale for over 30 years and look forward to it every Year. It’s a great time to pick up items/brands that are hard to find on Sale! They have amazing beauty bundles you can’t get any other time of the Year!

I tend to purchase items for my wardrobe that I wear on repeat, and I build my classic wardrobe with good-quality pieces. 

This Year’s SALE is truly one of the BEST I’ve seen in years… My wish list is everything you see in my graphics.

My Picks In Stock: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. Breaking the Sale down and categorizing it is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I review every sale item and consider what a great deal is and which closet staples are best to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them at a discount. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

My Picks=   6Things I buy Every year HERE| Beauty HERE| Jeans HERE| Shoes HERE|  Sweater| Tops HERE| Accessories HERE| Jackets HERE 

The Breakdown:

Of the six items I purchase every Year. My tried and true 

Items I shopped for last Year are on Sale again. Worth adding to the cart, 

What’s on my wish list? 

Great Wardrobe Builders: I think these items are a great deal and worth purchasing for your wardrobe.

Items that make great gifts.

Beauty Items I use and Love

Brands hard to find on Sale: Mother denim, New Balance 327, Gucci, Ray-Ban, Charlotte Tilbury, Free People 

My Picks In Stock: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

 

6 Things I Buy Every Year

6 items I buy every Year at the Nordstrom Sale

A Free People cardigan or Sweater… It’s a great time to get Free People on Sale; they always have a good selection, and I always find one that is classic and can build my wardrobe with it every Year! (This is this Year’s Sweater pick.) 

A new coat again; it’s the best time to pick up designer pieces that are hard to find on Sale.  This is this Year’s pick: Ralph Lauren plaid Trench coat. 

Donna Karen’s cashmere deodorant. I have used this for 30 years and love it! 1 box lasts for the whole Year! Smells great and works

A Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasma set. I love Charlotte T, and this is one of the only times of the Year to grab on Sale!

The BEST moisturizing lotion by Kiehl’s; it’s so rich and creamy, really moisturizes your skin, and again, only time of the Year to grab this big size at this price. 

I grabbed “this year’s” Steve Madden mule. It’s a go-to everyday shoe I can wear with everything! All Year long! I want this one too! Loving this Year’s gold buckle detail, and comes in two colors!  

If I could only pick 12 things… well, 6 of them I buy every Year… shown above. Plus, what’s actually in my cart…I will add later this week…

Denim

Affordable denim that feels like premium denim

Itty bitty Denim by Wit and Wisdom is one of my all-time favorite denims. I have several pairs and washes; it’s flattering, comfortable, and so affordable and BEST priced for the Sale at $60. Another affordable high-quality denim that has been a favorite for years and one of my best sellers when I owned boutiques is KUT from the KLOTH. They make A BODY STYLE THAT FITS AND LOOKS GOOD ON EVERY FIGURE. (You need to find the body style that suits your figure, and once you do, you can buy that style for every season, and it will always fit properly.) The Jodi High-Waisted Straight Leg in the color Whisky is a must for Fall.

Brittany High Waist Baby Bootcut Jeans–Wit & Wisdom- Now $58.99

Primum Denim

Great-fitting jeans that feel so good you’ll want to wear every day. When you find Primum denim that flattens your figure and feels like butter, trust me, it’s worth the splurge. If you’ve never tried on Primum denim and felt the difference, You must, and NOW is the time to grab a pair, as this is the lowest price you’ll find them this year. It’s the time I love to grab a pair or two. As with any jeans, it is about finding the brand and style that fit and flatter your figure. Here are my favorite picks and brands. Veronica Beard, Mother, and Madewell are my picks.

Catch up Friday, A Few Thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Catch up Friday, A Few thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great week. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and really caught up with you. My year has been crazy, with taking care of my mom, my melanoma journey, and becoming a grandma (COCO). Along with the heaviness of the world, my head and little world have been spinning. Today, I thought I’d do a little brain dump and life update/catch-up.

Catch up Friday, A Few thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Catch up Friday, A Few thoughts, Favorites & Trend Spotting

Week Recap:

My week was a little shorter than usual because I had a long weekend away for some work and girl time in California. It’s always a good time to catch up with friends, Shop, and enjoy the California coast. Road tripping with my mom, visiting my good friend Gina, and catching up with girlfriends I met on the gram and have become friends over the years, and annually we meet in Beverly Hills at Madison Masion (a shoe brand we all work with) for a lovely event.

This year we enjoyed a full day, checking out all the New arrivals and product launches at Madison Madison, then Drinks and appetizers at Wally’s before we headed to Spago’s for Dinner. We had so much fun, we didn’t get home until Midnight! It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed out that late.

Mixing work and Friendship over 50 feels so different. It’s intentional, joyful, and uplifting. When you do what you love and surround yourself with people who understand your work and support and encourage you, it is refreshing. Whether like-minded or with different views, we love and respect each other enough to have discussions without judgment.

On My Mind

In today’s heavy world, everything is judged, and everything you say or don’t say can somehow be controversial! How sad is that? Why is everyone so sensitive? Should we feel wrong to believe the way you wish? Why does it have to be so divided? I truly believe Most people want love, love their families, want a safe, loving home, clean food and air, and what’s best for our children. So much Evil. I wish we could go back to simpler times, and I feel many others are on the same page. 

Something about being over 50: You learn you can truly pick and choose who you surround yourself with, and you can create the life you want and understand how to create peace in the chaos. We understand we can’t control everything, but we can control ” our little world.” For me, my faith is a big part of what guides my choices and how I live my life. I hope that shows through what I share and how I react to what’s going on around me. 

Health Update:

3 Months since my Melanoma surgery, and yesterday I had my 2nd Co2 laser surgery. Right now, we are concentrating on the scar tissue underneath, which will also help with the couple of spots puckering. 

The laser process is only about 10 minutes. You use numbing cream about an hour beforehand, which helps; it does “smart” a little, but not horribly. The doctors did say, “You have a high pain tolerance?” After it’s a little hot, I take a few Ibuprofen, and you keep Aquaphor on it for 24 hours. It does bleed, ooze, scab over, and get messy. I will look like this for about 5 days. 

The Care:

For the next 4 to 5 days, you use a genital cleanser, then a vinegar soak for 10 minutes a day. It looks scabby and pretty ugly. Hopefully, it will look better than before. I know to follow the process, and I’ve been told that after 1 year, I won’t even see the scar. Praying that’s the case, but honestly, I am thankful this was my journey; although difficult, it’s much easier than chemo. I am thankful for God’s blessings and continue to pray as I have my 3-month skin check-up in a couple of weeks.

Wardrobe Basics from Chicos Taking you into the Holiday’s

Wardrobe Basics from Chicos Taking you into the Holiday's

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today’s post is a mix of Holiday pieces and basic wardrobe pieces from Chico’s.

Building a wardrobe that meets your basic needs and serves you on special occasions and during the holiday season is about choosing the right pieces, knowing what looks good on your body type, and understanding your style. I talk about this often and will share again how to build your wardrobe in a future post. Today, it’s about taking basic pieces and mixing them with holiday pieces that feel like true styles you could wear every day, depending on how you style them.

With my tips and tricks, I hope you’ll see how you can create festive looks with items you may already have in your closet, and mix them with a few new pieces you may want to add from Chico’s New collection.

Holiday Outfit Inspo in Jeans

We all have them and we all wear them… creating a Holiday Outfit with jeans…Chico’s great wardrobe builders make great Holiday pieces, too. I have started a new series, “Holiday in Jeans.” Make sure to stay tuned on Instagram and my Liketoknowit for Daily inspo, as I’ll do a complete wrap-up here on the blog when all the outfits are shared. 

 

Dark wash girlfriend straight leg jeans| Black no-iron button-up shirt |Red tweed ladies’ jacket, perfect for the holidays, the office, and dressed-up occasions, depending on how you style it. Black pointed-toe flats with gold studs| Multi-strand pearl and gold with black beads and charms statement necklace ( such a Chanel vibe)  Gold hoops with small rhinestone details |Gold metallic belt|

Jean Style Tip:

Tip: Dark-wash straight-leg jeans or dark-wash jeans with a slight flare are the best styles to wear for a dressier look. As well as black jeans. I will be styling several jean styles to showcase different outfit options.

A Color Cobo that Works

Fun Color combo for the Holidays: Burgundy, pink, and cream. Festive, yet not traditional red or green for those ladies who want something a little different. Why it works and still looks festive, it’s on trend, a cropped faux leather trench coat in a rich shade of burgundy, paired with pink, is unexpected yet romantic. I mixed textures, added some bling, and wore a festive lip color. Think of all the ways you can mix and match these pieces in your everyday wardrobe for different looks year-round.

Thanksgiving outfit inspo 

Shades of Grey and Classic white, a perfect combo year-round. This color combo pairs well with silver and looks great with Red for a festive Holiday-season outfit. These great classic wardrobe pieces are ones you’ll find yourself wearing on repeat and pairing with different accent colors to create different looks

.

Tips for Taking Wardrobe Basics into the Holidays

The tricks to taking your wardrobe basics into the Holidays are your accessories.. Make a statement with your accessories. In this case, I used metallic gold with a few pearls to create a dressed-up feel. Metallics always make things festive.

-Choose fabrics that feel dressier, such as Tweeds, satins, silks, cashmere, and velvets, from on-trend seasonal colors

Choose Colors that are festive and feel holiday.

Reds, Greens, Jewel tones, Classic black, and this season, Chocolate brown, Burgundy wine, Soft Pinks, Smoky greys, and of course, Metallics.

Adding a few New pieces 

I love these on-trend pieces that Chico’s created for this Holiday season. Ruffle leather cape, fur & leather fringe skirt, Lace button-up top, Tweed ladies jackets, leather cropped trench, printed denim, and sparkly accessories.

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today I am chatting with you about A Place for Mom. One of the things about midlife we don’t talk about often is becoming caregivers for our parents, which can be hard to navigate. 

Many of you know we lost my stepdad in January. He was the only grandfather my boys knew on my side and had been with my mom for 22 years. They live in Las Vegas, with no family living close by. I live in Utah, and my siblings live in California. This meant our mom was alone, with no family or husband. We had to act quickly to help my mom relocate, deal with family affairs, her health issues, and the emotions of the loss. I found out about A Place for Mom a couple of months after, having to navigate this part of midlife that nobody talks about enough. I thought this info needed to be shared as it could help someone else dealing with this in the upcoming months.

Navigating Care

When my stepdad passed away, I suddenly found myself navigating care decisions for my mom, and I had nowhere to start. I now had to make fast decisions about what to do. I will not only take care of my dad’s last days and business affairs but also relocate my mom to Tuah to be closer to family. Although my mom can live and function on her own and she still has specific home needs as well as medical care. 

I wish I had known about A Place for Mom back then. They make the process so much easier by helping families find senior living or home care options that fit their needs. All at no cost to families. It’s an incredible service and resource for caregivers, especially during those overwhelming moments when every decision feels heavy. 

Living in different states

Even if family members live in different states, A Place for Mom’s advisors offer expert guidance to help families navigate the process from wherever they are. Which takes so much off your plate so you can concentrate on your loved one more. Learn more at aplaceformom.com.

About A Place for Mom

A Place for Mom has helped 2M+ families. They can help yours, too, with over 400+ local advisors who are trusted experts. They have 20+ years of experience helping families. In addition to their expert advisors, they also have so many resources for caregivers on their website to help navigate the process.

Friday Favorites You’ll Love, And Sales You Won’t Want to Miss

Hello, Pretty ladies,

Happy Start of Labor Day weekend! Let the Sales begin, and let me tell you there are so many great ones. Can you believe we’re already into the kick-off of Fall?  Now is the time to shop if you’re in the market for a few new pieces to transition into fall, or add a few things to your home.

Not only did I want 17 magazine & vogue, I wanted Martha steward living, better homes and garden, Ina Gardens cook books, and anything made by Ralph Lauren .

I got my real first job at 15 (so I could buy (RL) at the cutest home decor and interiors shop, owned by the most creative and talented lady (Susie), who gave me my love of wallpaper, and playing with pretty things… I was doing her window displays at both her shops by 16…
