Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


Fall Favorite Finds From Fashion to Home

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

For me, fall is all about hot lattes, crisp morning walks, beautiful autumn leaves, pumpkin patches, cozy movie marathons, full fall reads, pumpkin everything, and sweaters & layers on repeat. Fall seems to fly by way too fast; the gorgeous colors come and go, but the fashion and the vibe will always be my favorite. 

Today I am sharing some of my fall favorite finds that will take you straight into winter in style. Several pieces on SALE.

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.

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

Accesories

Bandana Socks– How cute are these to add a little pop of color and pattern to your outfit? Cute with loafers. 

Bandana Print Bag- Bandana Print Pouch Bag/ Paisley Print Pouch/ Bandana Print Tote/ Tote in Brown/Bucket tote bag/

Bandana hair clips– set of 2

I am in love with this classic clear Fraiser Sterling makeup bag.

Pack of 4 paisley printed bandana scarves $14.99. Several color packs available 

Midi Wrap Skirt– A-line skirt -both of these options would be cute with boots and a denim shirt

Clothing You’ll wear on Repeat

Bandana cotton Beach shirt– oversized and a beautiful blue

The cutest fringe cardigan-Design History Bandana Cardigan similar, more Affordable Version Here

I loved these bandana-print slightly barrel & straight-leg pants so much I purchased them in two colors Brown/ Blue/ and I love the Red

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.

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.

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.

Gina|Kathy|Janet|Myself|Lisa|Suzanne

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.

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.

Affordable and Safe Gift Idea’s for the Beauty Lov Affordable and Safe Gift Idea’s for the Beauty Lover ❤️🎁

As part of my Melanoma Facial Cancer Journey…. One of the things I’ve learned is the importance of what we put on our skin, and as well as in our bodies and homes.

The average woman applies approximately 12 personal care products each day, which collectively contain about 168 unique harmful & toxic chemical ingredients. 

Finding out the truth about Toxic skin care is one of the main reasons for the rise of skin cancers. As well as Hormone disruption, and a chain of other issues.

Shocking right? This year I have made it a mission to “Clean” up my beauty and make-up drawers, as well as what my family puts in our bodies, our Homes.

Little changes can make a “BIG difference,  one swap out, each time, it’s time to replace an item.

I am here to share with you, the clean choice. 
Follow along as I share more of This/Not that. 

This Holiday Season, I will be sharing several “clean” option Gift ideas 🎁🎁🎁

I feel so many Women, don’t give themselves enough credit…

As Moms, Wives, business owners, hard workers and the “doers”
They’re doing it all and carrying the weight …most of the time with a smile, and hiding a worry, a weakness or guilt!

Remember you are STRONG.. you are a force … and it’s ok to not to give a dam what others think… 

And sometimes… it’s ok not to Give a  dam “what’s for dinner!”😉🥰
Or that the laundry didn’t get done, or that your Christmas Tree isn’t up after Halloween…

Sometimes the “give a dam” can turn back on tomorrow 😉❤️

Happy November pretty ladies, remember as we head into a “moms” busiest season… it’s important to take care of yourself, breathe and know when to turn on/off your “give a dam switch” 😉❤️🥰

🎥Watch tell the end to see what “Coach” did for him…

This little guy loves trees, and is at peace outside, he’d be out here all day, everyday…

He loves walks to look at trees, loves to swing in the hammock to look at the trees, he loves to touch the leaves and explore 🍂

It’s the sweetest thing to watch, 
And I enjoy every moment and don’t rush any of them🍂🍂 I am happy to look at leaves for hours🍂

Being a grandma has changed me in the most beautiful way.
I don’t rush through moments anymore.
I don’t stress the little things like I used to.
Because now I know how fast it all goes. 🥰❤️

Incase your new here… I go by “COCO “and my hubby is “Coach”
