6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Wednesday and the last week of June. Can you believe how fast June went by? I know I had two trips in June, but wow, it flew by; even my hubby said, “How did this month fly by?” I will be recapping both trips, what I wore, and my favorites from the trips. Honestly, I am a little behind and trying to catch up! I haven’t done several things on my Summer to-do list, and I have to get with it! 

A couple of the BIG things on my list to do: Get my office/studio/closet finished and paint several pieces of furniture (hubby said he’d help me on Monday.)  Finish cleaning out the playroom; yes, our kids are grown! LOL…Clean out a ton of clothes and donate some and put some on consignment. I also want to redo 2 of our guest rooms.

Besides, enjoying summer and still getting my regular work done. I might have put too much on my plate. Have you ever had high hopes for what you could accomplish? Let me know in the comments below if you have tips for getting it all done! Meanwhile, I’ll keep you posted on the blog and Instagram stories. 

Introduction to Brindle Boutique

Today, I am sharing 6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique you’ll wear all summer long, and some can take you into Fall: two Dresses, A short set, cropped jeans, black joggers, and a blazer. You know I love to support small businesses, as well as women-owned businesses, and Brindle Boutique is both. I was happy to partner with them and become an ambassador as well.

I am in medium, wearing the large red floral print; this dress comes in 5 colorways and prints. You could style this causal for vacation or dress it up for a garden wedding.

6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

Black shirt dress– A great shirt dress with a little puff sleeve and v-neck. Fully lined and comes in two colors. Style it casually with flat sandals and simple accessories, or dress it up for cocktails or date night with heels and fancier accessories. I am wearing black in a medium style for church and brunch with my hubby.

White gauze short set-Nothing easier to wear than a Gauze short set. Breathable, comfortable, yet stylish, and also easy to pack. Style it in so many ways. This set comes in 6 colors and fits true to size. I am wearing a medium set.

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

June 25, 2023

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.

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

Hello pretty ladies,

How’s your week going? Mine has been a little crazy with getting back from one trip and heading out on another tomorrow. I also had a health scare, but God is good, and it’s not as severe. I still have some big decisions to make, but it is not life-threatening, which I am so grateful for. I’ll share more in the upcoming weeks. But for now, I am feeling very blessed and thankful. 

Those of you who read my blog or have followed me on social for a while know I love to read and share a seasonal book list of what I’ll be reading that season. Today, I can finally share my summer reading list as all the books have arrived. (The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey) is hot off the press on June 16th.

I hope you’ll join me in reading a few of my picks or maybe read all of them with me. I will be sharing stories about them on Instagram, and as I finish each book, I’ll have a little live chat on Instagram. So, if you join me, tune in for more engagement and conversation. In case you missed it last week, I announced the first book I am reading is On Gin Lane. 

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

 

 

Lucky

 by: Marissa Staply

What if you had the winning lottery ticket but couldn’t turn it in? This is a quick and fun read. The reviews say it was one of the most entertaining novels they’ve read in a long time. A fun rollercoaster!

 

 

The Lake 

by: Natasha Preston

A mystery takes place at a summer camp, with two characters that did something terrible as young campers are now back as camp councilors, and someone knows what they did. The secret they’ve kept all these years is about to resurface.

 

On Gin Lane 

by: Brook Lea Foster 

Historical fiction set in the Hamptons in the 1950s with socialite characters, this is a great summer beach read. 

 

Wrong place, wrong Time 

by: Gillian Mc Allister

Bestselling author Gillian McAllister comes to an astonishing, compulsively twisty psychological thriller about a mother who witnesses her teenage son stab a man and then seizes on an unconventional way to try to save him, deemed “clever, original, and so addictive it should come with a warning” by Alice Feeney,

 

Romantic Comedy 

By: Curtis Sittenfeld

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A comedy writer thinks it’s Time’s and sworn off love until a dreamy pop star flips the script on all her assumptions—a “smart, sophisticated, and fun.” 

The Summer of Song Birds

By: Kristy Woodson Harvey

Four women come together to save the summer camp that changed their lives and rediscover themselves in the process 

3 of these are on Reese’s book club:

-Romantic Comedy

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

 

12 Travel Essentials 

1.  Cloth Jewelry zip organizer has clear pockets inside, plenty of hooks, and different sizes to hold your jewelry. I love that you can see everything; it is pretty flat, like a book.

2. Cord organizer I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand all my chargers and cords in a mess. This keeps them tidy.

Sunday Dinner Recipe Grilled Lemon Chicken

Sunday Dinner Recipe Grilled Lemon Chicken

Hello pretty ladies,

Happy Memorial weekend, I hope the weather is beautiful where you live, and you’re doing something fun to celebrate the Holiday weekend.

Today’s “in the kitchen with D’Arcy” Sunday recipe share, I am sharing my easy Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken with you. Perfect for kicking off BBQ season this Memorial Weekend ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 You can view my reel here.

Sunday Dinner Recipe Grilled Lemon Chicken

—Easy Sunday Dinner—

Grilled Lemon pepper & garlic chicken Recipe:

Chicken breast ( I like thinly sliced)

1/3 cup olive oil 

Juice of 2 lemons & 1 Lime

One lemon sliced

One tablespoon of Lemon pepper season

1/2 teaspoon Black garlic seasoning

Lemon pepper citron seasoning (I do about 3 -4 Shakes)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder seasoning

In a 9×12 dish, coat the chicken with olive oil, making sure to coat both sides. I also like like to poke the chicken with a fork to help marinate soak into the chicken. Next, add the juice of the lemons and lime, again making sure to coat both sides of the chicken. Then add all of the seasonings making sure to coat both sides. Cover with plastic or foil, place in the fridge until ready to grill. I like to prep in the morning to allow time to marinate all day. Grill on medium heat. If thin, grill for about 13-15 minutes. If thick, chicken about 9/10 minutes a side.

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.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

| 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 best tip any stylist could —3 WAYS TO STYLE—

The best tip any stylist could give you…
Is when your shopping and something catches your eye, make sure you can style it or wear it 3 ways.

This helps you get more use out of your closet, which also helps you  to create different outfit with items you already own.

How cute is this babydoll eyelet lace dress, with v neck and slightly puffed sleeve. An affordable find that can be styled so many ways. 

I created 3 easy to style with this great summer to fall transition dress. 

1. Coastal- shell necklace, raffia sandals with a straw bag
2. A little western with red cowboy boots, a scarf, Horsebit necklace, and a cowboy hat 
3. Work wear- styled with a blazer,cane and leather kitten heals and a cane clutch with tortoiseshell chain handle

Part 9

6 Clean Beauty products I used up and loved so much I reordered.
 
Being diagnosed with Melanoma Facial cancer in December, has been quite the journey, to say the least! Leaving me with a facial scar from my eye to my jaw, and really left me wanting to learn more about Melanoma, what causes this deadly cancer and ways to heal, protect myself, and hopefully help others.

1 part of this journey was to clean up my beauty products, as our skin is our biggest living organ and woman put deadly unhealthy products on it and in it every single day.

6 Clean Vegan and organic Beauty products I loved & reordered: 

-100% Grass Fed whipped Tallow cream
Super hydrating and great moisturizer 
- The Standard Hair oil is a must for healthy hair
-SPF 30 Tinted moisturizer 
—Best seller Perfume that gets you compliments 
- sunless tan anti aging serum
-Super Serum hydrating and leaves your skin feeling silky.
