4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Hello Pretty ladies, Spring is here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time on the water. Whether poolside or beachside. How about you? Do you have a warm-weather vacation coming up? I have 4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life you will love, not only because they’re so cute but because they pack well too.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. Who doesn’t want a little more protection from the sun? 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical.  Every piece travels well, along with not taking up a lot of space. Personally, I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit. I am making packing even more effortless.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, and it helped me pack and organize my outfits. It can also mix and match some of the collections, like in this outfit above: From the Jetties & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together. Even though the patterns are different, it makes for a fun combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. As long as the colors are the same, it works out great.

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a  bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip: It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways you can wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Easy breezy summer dresses! Yes, please! This – dress from the – Collection is a style that looks great on every figure. Perfect for a lunch date or pull-on over a swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this piece. Add a denim jacket on a cool night. Takes a look from day to evening. The colors in this collection -are the prettiest shade of blue. 

Try Cabana life for your next Tropical vacation. You won’t be disappointed.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah Tv Segment 

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Hello pretty ladies,

Today, I am so excited to share. I will be on Good Things Utah sharing: A Fashion Segment on “Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women.” You can watch the segment HERE or Live at 10:00 am Mnt. On local channel 4/KTVX.

 Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing from White House Black Market, along with MY TIPS: on Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife. I hope you enjoy it! Ox ( I will enter photos from today, after the show)

 

Sharing a few Spring Fashion Fixes for dressing Chic at any age.. is something I try to share with you, as it is my main goal to help Midlife women look and feel good at any age. We are not the Golden girls anymore!

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

-Aging doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style. If anything, we have finally figured out who we are and what our style is.

-Age shouldn’t dictate what we wear. However, it may dictate what you are comfortable in. And, like many women, your style probably has developed more over time. Finding what you really love and what works for your body is most important.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

 

                                     4 of my most significant fashion FIXES:

#1-Always wear what you love. When you wear what you love, you feel good.

#2-Wear what works on your body and makes you feel great, no matter the trend! Clothes that don’t work on your body type DON’T Flatter you. 

#3-Accentuate, your body’s good features, tiny waist, great legs, flat tummy or pretty shoulders, whatever that may be… show it. Don’t let aging defy you.

#4- It’s ok to wear seasonal trends. Mix them in with your classic pieces. So often, when ladies approach midlife, they think they can’t wear fashion trends! So, False! Adding in subtle trending details updates your wardrobe and gives it a “FRESH look,” and a lot of the time, the most affordable way to update a wardrobe. 

                    Here are a few Spring Fashion Fixes that are trending:

                                       White| Flares| High Waisted| Belts| Blazers| Braided Sandals|

                                         Layered Jewlery|Pattern Pop| Stud details| 

All great ways to “FIX” your midlife Fashion. And below are ways to incorporate them.

 

Color WHITE|

-White is always chic and timeless for Spring and Summer… (One of the perks of midlife, no little hands to get you dirty 😂), and Neutrals are trending in a BIG way this Spring! We love this Bag and This top.

Jeans|

Add a pair of white jeans, skinny or High waisted Flares Shown below are from White House Black Market. 

All jean styles are “in style” right now, from straight legs, cropped flares, and mid-rise to high rise. There’s no wrong style right now. Most importantly, wear what you feel good in!

Below are two Jean styles trending:

 

 

White Skinny Jeans|

The skinny jean is flattering on every figure, great worn dressed down or up. Perfect with flowy Summer tops and this season’s ruffled detailed tops. 

Two STYLE FIXES BELOW: 

Style Fix #1.

The balance of a flowy top and a tight bottom has a slimming effect (significant for those with a tummy). 

Style Fix #2.

Another great way to style skinny jeans is with a Blazer or Moto jacket over a button-up blouse or graphic tee. Dress up for work or down for play.

 

 

White High rise Flares|

High-rise jeans can have a love-hate relationship, depending on your figure and how you wear them. Some love them, and some hate them. On the other hand, they can be great for hiding a muffin top and bad on your backside.

 So, styling them correctly is key. If you’re like me and don’t have a backside and carry your weight in the middle, they are great styled with a blazer. They hold the tummy in, hide a muffin top, and the blazer covers the backside. Also, they can make you look taller if you’re on the shorter side. To name a few body types. Otherwise, I could go on and on.

Three Style Fix below:

-Style Fix #1.

wearing a flare is on-trend and can really elongate your legs.

Style Fix #2.

  • High-waisted is also on-trend and can be great with a bodysuit and blazer.

Style Fix #3.

  • Wearing high-waisted with some of the Cropped trending sweaters and tops is also helpful to be on-trend without showing skin.

Here are a Few white jeans I love from White House Black Market Below:

 

Belt|

Belts come and go in Fashion. We have been seeing belts trending for a while now, especially with the designer logos. This Spring, we see all belts, with the WIDE belts being hot hot hot! 

Three Style Fix below:

Style Fix #1.-Belts show off a waist: Accentuates a small waist or gives an illusion of a waist. 

Style Fix #2.– Belts add shape to a shirt dress or Maxi tee dress.

Style Fix #3.– Belts can add detail to simpler outfits.

Here are some Favorites from the White House Black Market Below:

 

 

Blazers|

Adding some spring trends with your classic pieces helps keep your wardrobe from looking dated. A dated wardrobe ages you, and nobody wants to look older😂

Below are 3 styling Fixes for wearing Blazers

Styling FIX #1. A Tee-shirt dress with a Blazer shown here is classic yet “ON Trend” with the Spring Blazer craze that’s going on.

Styling FIX #2. Another great way to wear a blazer is with a graphic tee and shorts.

Styling FIX #3. Wearing a blazer is as simple as dressing up in a tee and jeans.

Some of our favorite flattering Blazers below from White House Black Market:

 

 

Accessories| Braided| Layered Jewlery| Pattern pop| Studded detail

Accessories are a great way to add in a Subtle trend without being too trendy. Accessories FIX a dated wardrobe.

HERE are a few of this season’s accessory trends below.

 

Braided Sandal Trend|

Shown below, the braided sandal is hot this season. WHBM has a couple of cute ones to add in Here & Here

 

 

Layered Jewelry|

Layered jewelry has been on trend for a couple of seasons. Wearing several of your favorite necklaces at once adds detail. Creating this look is simple with this necklace by White House Black Market, as all the layering is done for you in one simple piece. Great to dress up a simple tank top or tee.

Crystals are trending from Fashion to home decor. They have great energy and give any outfit a great “statement.”

Below are a couple of pieces I love:

 

 

 

Pattern Pop|

Pop of leopard is always a fun addition to any outfit. Leopard truly never goes out of style. Now, wearing too much of it at once can be overdone. Just a pop will do!

Fashion Fix: Add a pop of leopard to your outfit with a great leopard bag to make a statement. Or even a pair of Leopard shoes can create an interest in a simple outfit.

Some great Leopard pieces from WHBM:

 

 

Studded detail|

 Studded detail is also “Trending” it is a fun little detail to add to an outfit without being too youthful yet adding an “on-trend” update to your look. This detail once associated with punk rock is no longer! Instead, it’s a detail Valentino has been sporting for a while and is one you need to add to your wardrobe.

Style Fix: The stud element adds texture to an outfit. You can add the stud detail with a bag or shoes shown below. It’s also being used as a detail on clothing. A Fun element that takes your outfit up a notch.

I love this Bag and these sandals by WHBM:

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

Hello pretty Ladies,

It’s no secret that I love Neutrals, and I can’t tell you how happy I am. Neutrals are a big trend this spring. A Neutral palette makes it easy to mix and match to create chic outfits with ease. So today, I am sharing 6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring with you.

You can easily get inspiration from these looks, try to think what you have in your closet that is similar, and create the outfit from what you may already have in your wardrobe. Of course, Adding a couple of new pieces to your wardrobe every season is fun. I provided the shopping links as well.

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

High-waisted, wide-leg jean looks great with the Spanx bodysuit. The fitted bodysuit helps balance the wide leg of the jean. Also, notice how the cropped Free people sweater is tapered at the waist, again adding balance. This is a great “rule” to follow when wearing a high waist and a wide leg.

Shop the Look Below:

 

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

A classic Spring a Summer look, White jeans, and a denim shirt. Again I am wearing the Spanx white bodysuit. It really is a great basic layering piece. I love good white jeans (I actually own several styles of white jeans). They are slightly cropped with a baby flair, great with a strappy sandal. This Denim Shirt HERE

Shop the look below:

 

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

Nothing says Spring like a jersey dress (this cami slip jersey dress is a deal at $15). A great way to dress it up and add some style is to layer with this year’s Spring trend =Faux Leather. I Found this fab faux leather shacket in Nola, and I knew it was a piece I would wear for years. This piece is so affordable under $50. Layering Neutrals adds texture and a richer feel. 

Note* These are a must-have shoe and have been a BEST seller for me for the last three weeks! So comfortable, and I have been wearing them on repeat! They look good with everything. 

Shop the look below:

 

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

Here are a couple of my favorite pieces from last year that have been restocked! The Free people Dupe, white button-up $20 I purchased two of them last year because they’re that good! Another staple piece from last year brought back is the Maggie jean. These high-waisted distressed cropped jeans come in several colors and washes (I own at least 4 of them). I love pairing a classic preppy style or feminine look with the distressed.  Also restocked from last year is the Braided kitten heal and on SALE $38

The vest was huge this fall, and it works great for Spring. Just layer with Neutrals for a fresh look. 

Shop this Look below:

 

 

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

Classic all white linen layers over the Spanx bodysuit (again). White linen pants you’ll wear on repeat (can you believe these are the old navy pants?) A great tip to dress up basics, Add a great bag, shoes, and accessories. 

Shop the look below:

 

6 Easy Neutral Outfits for Spring

The Flaired jean-Risen jeans are $69, so affordable for great quality jeans. Super soft, great stretch (size down). I would normally suggest wearing a fitted top with flared jeans. Here’s the one exception, A Boho vibe allows for a little flowy, this top hits at the hip bone, which helps balance the wide bottom.  (Note my best selling shoe) I could have worn this shoe with every one of the outfits above.

What I've Purchased Lately

 

Hello pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a few items, “What I’ve purchased lately” Pieces for our home, a couple of Items Cozy items to wear perfect for Spring weather, and a cute Jumpsuit for that upcoming warm-weather vacation. 

I love a little refresh for Spring for our home and my wardrobe. In Utah, it’s still cold until the end of April, and you do need layers, sometimes just light layers. So  I added in a couple of warm and cozy pieces in my favorite neutral shades. I found a cute jumpsuit for Spring break and something I’ll wear all Summer long. I love getting a new pair of house slippers for the season, and I found these cute slippers in white for $12.00. Our home needed a couple of little pieces,s and Spring is the perfect time for a little freshen up. 

  1. Office Lamp= As you know, I moved my home office upstairs, and I have been adding finishing touches to the space. I found this tremendous chic and straightforward lamp that adds the light I need to my desk and the communication of gold and marble base for that stylish feminine touch I am looking for. 
  2. The Perfect Mirror= Something on my Wish list is this Large Anthropology mirror I will get for our new home. Meanwhile, I purchased the small one for my office, and I adore it! Perfect for checking your makeup or those hats I love. 
  3. Candle– Capri Blue Volcano candle is one of my all-time favorite scents. It smells excellent any time of the year. I usually burn them in the Spring and Summer as I like fall and winter scents for those seasons. You will not be disappointed in this long-burning candle. 
  4. Water bottle=The water bottle that keeps you on track hourly. If you had a goal to drink more water this year? This bottle is for you! It fits in your car’s drink holder, is easy to hold, and keeps track of your water hourly. I have loved this water bottle compared to the one I purchased a couple of years ago. 
  5. Turtleneck tunic= A Super soft and lightweight Tunic in Cream and the perfect weight for Spring in Utah. I received one from Avara in Blush in January and loved it so much I purchased it in Cream. 
  6. Jumpsuit= This strapless jumpsuit is flattering and cute for Spring and Summer. I love the crisp white, cropped wide leg and flattering strapless top—a great wide belt to accentuate the waist. 
  7. Slippers= Who doesn’t want new slippers for each season, especially when you can get these cuties for under $12. I purchased it in white.
  8. Cozy Cardigan=, The perfect shade of oatmeal, goes with almost everything and is a much-needed layering piece for Spring. I have worn over my pj’s at home and on travels, thrown on over everyday outfits, and it’s cute over tee shirt dresses and a shirt dress. You’ll love this cozy soft layering piece.
  9. Laundry basket= I finally found a laundry basket that looks beautiful sitting out and has the function I need. You’ll love it too.

What We Wore On Our Girls Trip?

What We Wore On Girls Trip?

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you ready for some fun Spring fashion? The second blog post on our New Orleans trip is about what we wore. The Brands we worked with, and some fun Fresh Spring Styles. We were lucky to work with some great Small business brands launching their brand New Spring arrivals and bring them to you first. We also worked with some well-known larger brands to bring you a variety. All the Chic Chat Chic Girls’ styles should be in stock and ready to ship. Perfect for you to take on your next trip, or add some Spring to your wardrobe! 

 

Social Threads

A fun small business that carries great quality clothing and accessories at affordable prices. All of us girls are wearing the BEST selling Risen jeans in the same style, a vegan messenger bag in various colors, and a fun printed bag strap. (Look how cute the straps are! They make the bag!) Of course, we each got to pick a top of our choice as well. 

Our Risen Jeans are soft, easy to wear, run big, and size down. The fun frayed hem gives edgy detail, great to pack on a trip, with so many ways to style. You’ll want this bag for your next vacation, as it holds everything hands-free and stays close to your body. 

Social Threads gets new merchandise weekly, has several restocks on their best sellers a month, and has great fast shipping.  Everything I get from Social Threads I wear on repeat. You’ll love supporting small by shopping with them.

5 Valentine’s Looks From Avara

5 Valentine’s Looks From Avara

5 Valentine's Looks From Avara

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I wanted to share 5 Valentine’s Looks From Avara. The CCC girls are sharing Favorite pieces or best sellers. These cute pieces from Avara have been my BEST sellers. Attractive Valentine or Winter looks from the Avara clothing boutique that you could wear for Valentine’s day or any Winter day. This cute online boutique has a storefront in Texas with darling and affordable clothing and accessories. It was easy to find cute items to share with you, and you know I love supporting and sharing small businesses. I hope you will check them out next time you want a little something new. 

Maybe you will be inspired by these 5 Valentine’s looks or Winter looks to pick up a piece today! I wanted to share 5 looks with the same pair of distressed black jeans to show how versatile these jeans could be. You can make them look completely different just by how you style them. (that makes for a great travel piece too)

 

5 Valentine's Looks From Avara

Look #1 The sweetheart blouse paired with the distressed black skinny jeans, red booties, and finished off with heart sunglasses on top of the head (used as a hair accessory) Valentine earrings. The Shirt is true to size, and the cuff detail is so cute. The jeans are a little tight. I got my test, but you could size up. They stretch a touch. 

Shop the look below:

Look #2 This look is great for any date night, not just Valentine’s day. Again, the skinny black jeans, paired with this tremendous off-the-shoulder sweater (could be worn not off the shoulder), could be sized down. I am in my TTS, but it does have a lot of Fabric. I have dressed it up with an essential black pump, clutch, designer sunglasses, and belt. Added Gold layered necklaces and Kendra Scott hoop earrings. ( I wear my Kendra Scott hoop earrings the most) I have about 5 pairs of her hoops, and they are my go too! (I will do a blog post on those)

Shop the photo below:

Look #3 Here. This cute puff sleeve blazer is so pretty very versatile. A Cream blazer with a touch of blush in it! So natural, you could pair it with anything from jeans to a dress! Here I paired it with a cami and the same jeans in all the photos. (size up in this blazer as it runs small.)

Shop the photo below:

Look #5 Blush turtleneck sweater paired with distressed black jeans, a pop of leopard (booties), a blush hat, and a clutch. Works perfectly for a casual Valentine outfit or date night. I’d wear it to a girlfriend’s lunch and great with leggings too.

While on Vacation in California, I took my New Bandolier Ceci pink Floral tote and perfect for travel phone accessories. 

Holds everything you need for work, while compact and chic. Making work to shopping and lunch with a girlfriend  easy and on the go.

The Bandolier Ceci Pink collection  would also make for great Mother’s Day gift’s for the  mom on the go, the working mom and the mom who loves to travel. 

🌸@Bandolierstyle  is so much more than just a phone case (it holds your phone, wallet) with the ease of a chic cross body chain.
