3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

 

Hello pretty ladies, I hope you had a great weekend. 

We spent the weekend in Park City for Father’s Day, as my hubby wanted a little getaway. It was nice to relax and have a slight change of pace. Don’t you love a weekend getaway? 

Today, I want to share a great Amazon find: two-piece tropical printed short set. So affordable at $29 for both pieces and comes in several prints and color choices.

Short sets are having a big “moment” right now, and I am here for it.

A short set is also an excellent option for a getaway because you can create multiple looks by packing a couple of extra pieces. 

I created three different outfits for you with this two-piece set. Easy to create, easy to pack, and perfect for the pool, lunch, shopping, and date night. 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Style Amazon Short set  Way #1

This two-piece Amazon short set was styled by just using the two pieces, A kimono, and shorts. This look is easily accomplished by adding A bodysuit or tank top, cute sandals (I am wearing Tory Burch Millers), a straw bag, and Fun tropical earrings.

Easy outfit look for vacation, site seeing, shopping, and even worn over a bathing suit to the pool.

Outfit number two was created with the shorts from the two-piece set. Paired with a black blazer, the same Spanx bodysuit, and accessorized with Black open-toed Vince Camuto booties, a leather clutch, and finished off with gold jewelry. 

The blazer gives the printed shorts a more polished look and takes this look to Summer chic versus summer vacation. Outfit number two is one of my favorite looks for summer. 

Outfit number two is a look you could wear to work, wear on a date night or have cocktails with the girls.

Outfit number three was created with the Kimon from the set, paired with Spanx black shorts and the same Spanx bodysuit. It was created by accessorizing with Cognac Tory Burch Millers and a cognac vegan hobo bag by Social Thread. With jewelry to finish off the look. 

This look could be perfect for brunch/ shopping with the girls, a coffee meeting, running errands, and casual dinner.

Taking Short sets on vacation

Packing short sets on vacation is a smart packing tip! It helps you to pack less, mix and match made easy, and it allows you to create a color pallet. Creating a color pallet for travel is a great tip to make packing easier. More packing tips on this blog post:  Soma has all you need to pack for a Summer getaway.

Tips on packing light & stylish:-

Packing for a weekend can be daunting And overwhelming, not to mention over-packing. A great way to avoid over-packing is to pack items that mix and match well. Along with items that serve a couple of purposes.

For instance, Soma Soft Wrap can be worn as loungewear, a lightweight jacket over a dress or paired with jeans, or with your workout wear. You could even use it as a bathing suit cover-up. 

The Soma Cotton gauze robe could be worn as a robe, bathing suit cover, and as a duster pair with jeans and a tank. 

Packing items that can serve a dual purpose really helps keep packing easier and lighter.

Packing everything in a color theme really helps, with packing fewer shoes (which saves a ton of weight and space.) Also helps coordinate and minimize the jewelry and accessories. Along with helping with the above tip, things mix and match better.

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father’s Day Gifts for your Hubby

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father’s Day Gifts for your Hubby

5 Thoughtful and 5 Purchased Father's Day Gifts for your Hubby

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

It’s that time of year again where we’re thinking of dads & hubby gifts for Father’s Day. I know so many struggle with gift ideas for men. Being a boy mom, I think, makes it a little easier for me. Because I am always on the hunt for gifts my guys will love. So today, I am sharing 5 thoughtful gifts and 5 purchased gifts that my guys love. 

There are a lot of great ideas out there for men, especially if they have hobbies, the Golfer or Skier, Beer or Coffee Enthusiast. The office worker and the Car guy.

Whatever your dad is into, they make something cool that would make for a great gift. It is about thinking about what dad likes to do or how he likes to spend his time.  

5 Thoughtful Gift Ideas

  1. Make his favorite meal. My guys love food, as the saying goes…” A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” So cooking his favorite meal on his special day is thoughtful and always a big hit.
  2. Have his car detailed. Having your car detailed is a big treat, although all my guys like to wash and care for their vehicles. It shows your care to have his car cleaned and professionally detailed.
  3. Do “His” chores? Do you and your Hubby have chores you each do? You know the drill… Hubby mows the lawn. Do you do laundry? (or another way around) Whatever his “chores” are. You and the kids do them.
  4. Do an activity your Hubby likes to do, Go for a drive, a bike ride, boating, golf, etc. However, he wants to spend extra time and do that as a couple or as a family. 
  5. Give him a Massage. My Hubby loves massages, facials, and all the pampering. Pamper your Hubby.

 

5 Gifts You Can Purchase

 Gift ideas from Lululemon you can purchase for your Hubby he will love no matter what his hobbies, style, or taste are like. All of my guys love and use these things, and they are so happy to get them as gifts.

  1. Lululemon Shorts = Comfy made for  Running, training, or stretching. Wear these lightweight, multi-sport shorts for pretty much everything. Zippered storage keeps essentials close. My guys wear regular Summer shorts. They love the comfort. Shorts come in several colors. Bowline short is great too.
  2. Restfeel Men’s Slides=Dual-density is cushioning provides maximum comfort and support, and Minimalist strap upper with foam lining for an exceptional fit and feel. Great for poolside, but awesome after the gym or sports, excellent after a long day on your feet. Under $60
  3. Always in Motion Long Boxer= Comes in 2 lengths, 5″ and 7″. These boxers feature an ergonomic design and super-soft, quick-drying fabric for total comfort while working out or on the go. My guys love these, and it’s all they want to wear. No other underwear will do. The 3 pack is a better value. 
  4. Pool Short= Dads need a new swimsuit every year too! This isn’t just a swimsuit. Lululemon created these streamlined swim shorts with thoughtful details that make them perfect for a day in (or out) of the pool.
  5. The Fundamental T-shirt=When tech and comfort collide. This wardrobe staple blends soft cottony fabric with our abrasion-resistant and anti-stink technologies for a classic tee that’ll last. The tee shirt he’ll always want to wear. T-shirts Come in several colors.

11 Free Date Ideas

11 Free Date Ideas

11 Free Date Ideas

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I thought it would be fun to share some fun free date night ideas with you that my hubby and I love to do with each other, along with a couple of reasons why it’s important to date your spouse.

 

The importance of Taking Time to Date your spouse:

Taking the time to date your spouse is essential to stay connected,  share your thoughts, and catch up on your week. Life gets busy with family duties, work, and life. It’s really easy to disconnect and eventually grow apart.

Why You Should Date your Spouse:

Ben and I make a point to have a weekly date night. Time for just him and I, no kids, no work, no duties. It’s our time that we can enjoy each other and talk about what is going on in our lives. Spending time together keeps us emotionally connected, which helps with staying physically connected.  

Here are a few great articles on the importance of Dating your Spouse: 

Importance of Friendship and Fun| 10 Reasons to date your Spouse| 5 Reasons it’s important to date your spouse

11 Free Date Ideas:

1. Bike ride– Taking a bike ride around the block is fine, but Searching out a fun bike path you maybe haven’t done makes it more special. Pack some snacks and stop for a little break to chat and Catch up.

2. Walk– I love a good walk. Research a fun walking path, pack a light meal and incorporate a picnic.

3. Picnic– Pack a picnic and head to the Park or scenic area, take in the view, and have a meal.

4. Pool or spa –  if you have one or have a community pool-make a charcuterie board and cocktails and enjoy some time together poolside. 

5. Go for a drive– One of my husband’s favorite things is to take a Sunday drive.  Depending on the time of the year, we’ll hop in the convertible, play some tunes and check out some new scenery. 

6. Cook -a new recipe together 

7. Coffee and chat– make coffees (tea), sit on the porch or deck, and catch up.

8. Home Spa day– hubbies can have home facials too. Pull out your Beauty products and give each other facials.

9. Hike– pack a picnic and go for a hike. It’s easy to find ones in your area. Google is your friend. In Utah, we like these four, depending on the level we’re feeling that day. 1. Water Fall canyon 2. Skyline trail 3. Ogden River Parkway trail 4. Wind Cave Trail

10. Concert– You say concerts aren’t free? Yes, a lot of areas have free concerts. It just takes a little google search. Live in Utah?  Snowbasin has Blue, Brews & BBQ, and Music in the mountains at Powder Mnt. , Silly Sundays Park City, and Canyons village Summer concerts, 

11. Movie night– pop some popcorn, grab a drink get comfy, and watch a movie you’ll enjoy. 

 

Think of where you live. Are you close to the beach, a lake, wildflower fields, scenic roads, and rivers? All of these beautiful surroundings make for a great free date spot.

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I am sharing my love for Anthropologie, Neutrals, and my Good friend Shauna from Chic over 50 today on the blog. Shauna and I both love Anthro, yet we couldn’t be so different, she loves a lot of colors, and I love neutrals, she petite and I am tall.  We thought it would be fun to take two pieces, a chambray top and a pair of Mother’s jeans, and style them two ways… Her way and My way and on two different body types. (for size reference, Shauna is 5’1.5″. Size 0-2, I am 5’9.5″ and 6/8)

3 Neutral Fashion Looks This Spring From Anthropologie

Sharing the pieces on two different body types gives you a better vision of what it could look like on you. Both pieces look great in different heights and sizes. Plus, it gives you the style inspiration in 2 ways. So fun, right?

Shop the two pieces below:

 

 

Shauna shares her love of color with three great Anthropologie looks over on her blog Chic over 50. You’ll need to head over there and check out what and how she styled them.

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❤️

Head to stories to see my inspiration for this weeks table, the floral arrangements I created for this week’s Flower arrangements for our home & Sunday dinner table scape… and what’s going to be on the menu for Sundays dinner 🍋

Flattering, comfortable, so cute and on SALE…

I have said it before …that I didn’t like barrel jeans on my shape, as I’ve tried several and they just weren’t flattering on my ruler shape body….

Until I found these… they’re just the right amount of extra fabric, with out adding bulk and aren’t to high of a waste, that there so flattering…
Now, I am 5’91/2 so they’re a touch to short, but look darling with and adds balance with an tall ankle strap square block heel  sandal 🖤

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) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep better❤️

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
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
