8 Shoe Styles You Need For Fall

Hello Pretty Ladies,

September is here and the official first day of Fall is in just a couple weeks. Which has me excited, As most of you know Fall is my favorite season. I adore all things fall from fashion to home and all things pumpkin-related! So I hope you’re ready for everything fall-related to be showing up here and on my other platforms.

I thought it would be fun to share Fall shoe trends with you. Shoes can make an outfit and this year we’re seeing some fun changes from what we’ve seen the last couple of years. 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.

8 Shoe Style’s

Loafer

Love that all loafers are in style this season from the classic to the platform, with elevated chunky soles, and vintage vibes, The platform loafer is the most sophisticated loafer of the season. Pair with a pantsuit or a pencil skirt for maximum class. I love them with boyfriend jeans and wide-leg cropped jeans as well.

Shop some of my favorite Loafers this season below:

Mary Jane

Cap-toe flat strikes the perfect balance of casual and chic. Complete with a cap toe and a classic slingback silhouette, they’ll earn go-to status in your shoe lineup. Cute and worn with everything from workwear to casual chic. Give that basic tee and jeans an upgrade or add some fun attention to your workwear outfits. You’ll be wearing these classic little shoes on repeat.

Metallic Shoes

Metallic is a fun pop to any outfit another way to add color without too much color. Who doesn’t want a little shine?

Shop some of my favorite cap-toe shoes this season below:

Pointed toe pump

A classic designer heel with a modern twist, the Hazel heel is perfect whether you’re looking for a fun patterned stiletto, metallic sparkly heels, or a simple black pointed-toe heel. Our designers have updated the timeless silhouette with a tall, stiletto heel and low-cut vamp for an instant leg-lengthening effect.. making this the sexy heel you’ve been dreaming of! Our new fit technology adds a padded sock which makes the Hazel stand out as the most comfortable heel for women. This versatile heel can compliment your favorite dress, a pair of jeans, or even a bold jumpsuit!

“These are the best-looking, most comfortable pumps on the planet!”

Wedge heels on boots and booties

The GEMMA above is the perfect bootie to take you into Fall. A suede upper with elastic stretch detail makes this boot slip on effortlessly. An EVA rubber wedge sole makes this bootie very comfortable and durable. The wedge bootie and boots are a fun added detail to this season’s boots. Not to mention so comfortable to wear all day long.

Wooden sole Clog/Mule

With monochrome studs and a chunky wooden platform sole, these open-toe clogs are a vintage dream.

These are some of my favorite shoes and I own them in 3 colors. On Major sale!

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 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.

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

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.

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.

You deserve a little treat, and treating yourself is okay. Treating yourself doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. It could be as simple as a little something you wanted at Target to something you’ve wanted for years. I am reminding you it’s okay to do something for yourself.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your week is going well. Happy March! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary over the weekend and have been trying to get into the swing of a new week. It’s been a harsh winter in Utah this year, and with Valentine’s over, I added some simple Spring touches to our home this week and shared over on the gram. You all loved it so much that I thought I would recap nine simple and affordable little touches you could add to your home for a spring feel.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh from my home tour🌿

Affordable and simple items to refresh little areas of your home! 9 things you can add to give your home a little refresh for Spring and add to the sense of sight & smell.

Adding Spring to the Kitchen area

If you’re like me, we’re primarily in our kitchens, and I like to start adding in the season here. You can make simple and affordable little changes that have a significant impact. I want to create tiny little vignettes for the seasons. For example, I start at my sink area and purchase new countertop cleaner, dish soap, and hand soap in a fresh scent of the season, add a new scrubber and a little silk pot of flowers, and a scented candle.

The cleaners and soaps are $3.99-$2.99, adding such a spring impact for so little money. The stand you can use every season for under $20, and a new little wooden scrubber is $6; I think it’s a cute little detail. A little silk flower pot is $6-9.00, and you can find spring candles for $10. This Fresh linen and Sea salt candle smells so good. Fresh and clean for Spring.

Spring Touches with color in mind

Add these cute striped ruffle dish towels, a Jute rug, Spring 40 oz Candle & candles, little birds, and silk flowers. To your space, please give it a fresh look and light up your room for Spring. Think lighter colors and colors of Spring that will work in your area. I choose yellow, green, white, and the natural color of jute.

Fresh flowers bring the outdoors in

I love fresh flowers too. Something about fresh flowers that make your home feel like you’re bringing the outdoors in: if you have been following me for a while, you know a bouquet of fresh flowers is something I treat myself to every week. I love trader joe’s, Costco flowers, and our local flower shops.

Changing out your Rugs

Changing out your rugs can make a significant impact on your space. Removing heavier fabrics and replacing them with lighter, airier ones, like jute, give your room a softer feel. Rugs can range in price, and you can find reasonable ones at places like Target and home goods. But I love Boutique rugs, and they are always having a sale. This darling jute circle rug comes in several sizes. I chose the smaller size as I knew it would fit perfectly in front of my sink and fridge. The circle is a fun change instead of the usual rectangle shape. (I got the large round for my entryway. )

Spring Center Piece for your Kitchen Island

Spring centerpieces can be easy to create, from a bowl with fresh lemons and limes to a simple flower centerpiece. You can get creative and use a dough bowl to add a bird’s nest and birds or bunnies. Of course, spring candles and fresh flowers are always a favorite. I will share several more ways in feature posts and stories on the gram, so tune in over there.

An excellent coffee table decor book

The Cozy White Cottage Seasons coffee table decor book is one of my favorite home inspiration books, and this one has 100 ways to be cozy all year.
