I Love seeing a lot of feminine pretty shoes. Bow details are big, pointed-toe pumps, metallic is huge from shoes and accessories to clothing. I love ballet flats & Mary Janes are having a moment, wedge soles on booties & boots, and one of my favorites from last season, the chunky loafer. 

What shoes to wear with on-trend pants & jeans will be coming up on the blog soon. I promise. Let’s get to check out some of this season’s cute shoes for Fall.  Hope you enjoy my picks and tips for styling.

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great week and a fun kick-off to summer. I’ve been trying to get caught up from my last two back-to-back trips, and I am excited to continue to share some of the fun travel adventures and outfit inspirations with you. I’ll do future blog posts with recaps and vacation details soon. I’ve shared some fun Reels, outfits, and stories on Instagram. 

Last week I shared in stories my Chicken Bolognese with Burrata cheese Pasta Recipe in stories and had so many of you want it in writing versus a show and tell in stories. It’s one of my hubby’s favorite pasta dishes and is so good and easy to make. You could whip it up in under 30 minutes, but the longer it simmers, the better it tastes. I’d love for you to let me know in the comments if you make this recipe. 

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese Recipe

1 pound ground chicken

One onion white or yellow chopped

1 28oz Cento crushed tomatoes

1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes

EVOO to coat the pan

Two tablespoons of Italian seasoning

One teaspoon of Johnny’s garlic season

1 to two tablespoons of fresh garlic 

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

One tablespoon of kitchen bouquet browning seasoning

One tablespoon of dried chopped onion

One bay leaves 

One teaspoon of dried basil 

One teaspoon of garlic salt

One container of Burrata Cheese

Heat a large saucepan, add olive oil, and ground chicken. Chop up the ground chicken; I love this chopper. Once golden brown, add a kitchen bouquet and stir until all chicken is coated. Add Italian seasoning, chopped onions, brown, chopped/crushed garlic, and more EVOO if needed. Once browned, add tomato, stir, and then add all the other ingredients except burrata cheese. Let simmer on low and cover. Stir every so often, the longer you let simmer, the more favor.

Serve over any pasta you love. I like this over Rigatoni (when pasta is ready), add cheese to the sauce (break up cheese), and stir into sauce. 

After the pasta is drained, add pasta a little at a time while stirring into the sauce.

Serve with a green salad and my delicious homemade garlic bread Recipe here.

 

 

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Have a beautiful new week, and thank you for taking the time to stop by and read.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies, 

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you? 

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me! I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it? 

I have learned to take a day at a time, and LISTS helps me. I have a weekly to-do list and try to break it down into daily parts… Then, what I don’t finish for that day, I highlight it and make it my first thing for the next day. If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day! Which can set your week up for failure. 

Instead, make a priority list, a “something I would love to do List” “and an “I have time List” Break the priority list into items for each day. Then when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day instead of causing stress.

Let me know if you try this little “life helper” or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your goals of the week by commenting below. 

 

If you like a more personal and closer connection as well as a”what you could have missed review,” you might like my

| A Little Life Catch-up |

Last night I enjoyed attending my sweet girlfriend’s “girlfriend Dinner.” Jennifer Burns, a Chef on ABC, hosted a beautifully catered dinner at her home—an annual event. Let me tell you; it’s always such a fun evening with good friends and great food.

This year was a Chinese theme Hibachi night.  

Shifuku did a fantastic job catering a fun experience and an excellent idea for a Birthday party or even an engagement party or rehearsal dinner.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress. 

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Work Wear 

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote. 

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch. 

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the Look Below:

 

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.  

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the look below:

 

 

 Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look. 

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers. 

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute. 

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer. 

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Shop to look below:

 

 

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

 

Spanx discount Code

I have a discount code for any Spanx purchase. If you are interested, use the:

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy last week of March, can you believe how fast March flew by? I keep telling myself Spring is coming; it is! In the Spirit of Spring, I have a couple of spring photoshoots. I’m looking forward to some fun pieces I can’t wait to wear. With all the great sales lately, I’ve grabbed some fun clothing & accessories I am also excited to share with you. 

Here are two great Spring basics wardrobe pieces. You’ll never get tired of styling, and the best part is that they work in every season.

"</p

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of
Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of

Spring Wardrobe Builders

~Two Spring Basics You’ll Never Get Tired Of Wearing~

~ Straight Leg/ slim boot cut Jeans 

~ Gauze Button up

The Jeans are under $69, And the top is under $36

What are wardrobe builders?

Wardrobe builders are staple/ key pieces you purchase that help you build your wardrobe. I like to make a wardrobe, starting with classic pieces that can help you create many different looks. Then, build a cabinet with 80% good fitting, good quality pieces and fill in with the trends. I wrote more about this HERE.

Ways to Wear these two pieces

The White Gauze button-up top

This gauze button-up is just like the Free people one I own♥️ you can’t tell them apart✔️Wear over a bathing suit, with shorts, or throw over a tank tee dress. 🖤 The many ways you can style this versatile piece genuinely are endless.

I own several white Gauze button-ups, one because I always need one, as I wear them on repeat. And two, I wanted to see if you could tell the difference between the Target $25, Peppered in Leopard$36, and Free People $69 versions. Unfortunately, you really couldn’t unless close up and with touching.

The comparison

The Target button-up is the thinnest but not too light, and the stitching isn’t the quality of the Free People, which is to be expected. The Peppered in Leopard button-up is a perfect dupe. The buttons are different, the stitching is good, and the weight is pretty close. I recommend purchasing it for the price if you want to save money. The Free People’s quality is the best, with excellent stitching, buttons, and gauze fabric, just the perfect weight. 

Free People added this Spliced -up Shirtdress Tunic to this year’s Spring lineup, and the fabric is the same Gauze as the button-up. Talk about a cute dress you’ll wear over and over. Cute for concerts and festivals with boots, and so cute for Summer with a cute sandal.

The Straight Leg slim bootcut Jeans

Straight Leg jeans have been a classic style since jeans wear invented. They will always be in style. It’s a classic fit that always looks good. In fashion, styles come and go, but the classic fit never goes far. The type I am wearing above says a slim-fitting flair, but it does fit like straight-leg jeans. 

Ladies…Get your butt into this pair. You won’t be sorry! Judy Blue High Waist Control Top raw hem slim bootcut jeans are slim fitting through the waist, hip, and butt with a slim-fitting flared leg. Made of stretchy denim, it will fit you just right without stretching out too much. The control top helps keep your waist slim, and the wash is GORGEOUS, making these a must-have!

The Jeans Fit

  • Rise 10 3/4″, Inseam: 32″
  • Recommend sizing down one size for that fitted look.
 

Two Basic Wardrobe pieces giving Coastal Grandmother vibes

*Coastal grandmother is a VIBE, not a grandmother thing☺️Want to learn more? Want to learn more? Here’s a fun Coastal Grandmother blog post I did last year that people enjoyed reading. Here’s a REEL you might enjoy, with 1.6 million views.

Giving me all the #coastalgrandma vibes… Think of all the ways you can style these two great basics✔️

 

A few other classic Jeans and White button-ups you might like:

BB Dakota by Steve Madden -Gauze button up a complete match for the Free People Button up

Tyra Cotton Oversized Button-Down Shirt-Get down to the business of statement style in this cotton button-down that makes a fashionable problem of rolling up your sleeves.

Stevie Straight Leg -These jeans are crafted in soft, stretchy denim, making them accessible and comfortable to wear all day. This simple but essential pair can complete any look they are paired with.

Christine High Rise Straight Leg– from cotton with a little bit of stretch, these high-waisted jeans with a straight leg will soon be your comfy favorites.

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be tricky✔️

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun 😅🤣 Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ⬇️ are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week)

Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey Here’s a couple thi Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey 

Here’s a couple things I’ve learned on my Journey that I thought I’d share with you I found interesting and very helpful..
 ( now, I am not a doctor) these are things I’ve researched and though I’d share my findings, but you can do your own research :) 

I share in hopes to bring awareness and the importance of getting your skin checked at least once a year.

‼️ 2 things:

-The importance of taking zinc— zinc supplements helps your body give off a natural defense to the suns rays.

⚠️ Like anything I need to stress how important it is to read your labels and start using clean Supplements.  You want to get what you’re paying for and not “fillers” verses the actual minerals and herbs.

- A clean beauty mineral based 
Sunscreen with a high level of Zinc! READ your labels and the ingredientsll

MOST sunscreens have harmful ingredients and hormone disruptors in them! I have 5 brands I love that me and my family use  over on my Liketoknowit or you can comment “shop” and I’ll send them to you.

To know:

⚠️ I get my skin checked twice a year and since being diagnosed with melanoma, I now go every 3 months.

Since my surgeries, I’ve had 2 laser’s treatments to help with scaring (shown in slide 2 is my 2nd surgery) done 6 weeks ago.
I actually should have my 3rd laser done this week, but I moved it to July 1st. 

To be honest I really am not in the head space to deal with another treatment this week! 🙏🏻 I told you I’d be very honest with you in this journey, and it is a roller coaster of emotions… Laser treatments sometimes trigger that for me.

- Laser treatment can be done every 6 weeks

⚠️I have 6 parts of my journey up in my feed, 3 of them pinned to top the others you’ll have to scroll through feed and I have detailed highlights as well. 

I hope you find these helpful

POV: The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long POV:
The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long my family loves🥪

Not your ordinary Turkey, Avocado, tomato sandwiche🥪🥑🍅

First off the Key to these delicious sandwiches is warm crusty bread straight from the oven yet soft on the inside..

My tip is a French baguette ran under water (a tip my Mother in law taught me 33 years ago) placed in the oven for 5-7 minutes- seriously, makes it like you made it fresh… 

-Boards head spicy pepper Turkey freshly sliced from the deli
- Farm Fresh Tomatoes salt & peppered 
-Micro greens (or sprouts) 
- Peppered jack cheese (or your favorite)
-My Smashed Avocado spread 

Full recipe on my blog
