Fall Transition outfits with Color

Fall transition outfits with Color 🍂🍁

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Hello pretty ladies; I hope you are having a great month. It seems as if September is flying by; we are seeing a glimmer of Fall weather here and there in Utah, but we still have the High 80s and low 90s, which makes wearing Fall sweaters and layers a little HOT! 🙂 Today, I thought I would share a few tips with you to get that fall vibe without the heat. I am sharing a few tips for Fall Transition outfits with Color.

 

Are you transitioning your outfits for Fall?

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip Fall color:

Try using Color… Fall transition doesn’t mean you have to add layers. It could be as simple as changing your color pallet✔️

 

Here I am wearing an oversized Gauze button-up by @petalandpup. It’s a perfect shade of Spiced Rust, paired with Cropped Mothers jeans, a pair of sandal clogs, and a Spiced Rust Felt hat🍂🍁

A Fall feeling… but the top breaths and is lightweight, cropped jeans, and open-toe shoes… easy to wear on an Indian summer day, yet gives the “feel” we want in the FALL months🍂🍁

Fall Transition outfits with Color

Style Tip:

Pull out your Fall colored clothing….Shades of cream, tans, browns, pumpkins, golden yellow, mustard, Rust, merlot, and plum. You’ll be surprised at what you can create for Fall from the Color you are ready to own.

Style Tip for Fall:

Most of us can’t wait to layer up in the Fall… but temperatures aren’t complying🍁🍂 So, add on Fall accessories! Change your sandal for a bootie or mule with a felt hat, a suede, or a leather bag. Easy to do and doesn’t add heat🔥

Tip 2

Work in odd numbers, an interior design trick is to work in odd numbers, 3,5,7, etc. This adds balance and helps create clusters that work to keep the eye wandering along with interest.  

Tip 3 

Use items you love, use a variety of items in different textures and materials. Use different sizes and heights. This not only adds interest but keeps your display from being flat.

Way To Style Cabana Life For Fall

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well and you enjoy the last bit of summer. Our weather hasn’t quite hit the fall temperatures, but it’s coming faster than some want. I love summer, but I adore Fall. The cooler mornings and evenings, the smell of the air, and the changing of the leaves are just a few things I am looking forward to. Today, I want to share Cabana life’s spf50 eyelet dress styled a little western for Fall. 

Cabana Life clothing doesn’t have to be resort wear or summer clothing. You can easily give their pieces a new look by adding different accessories or laying them up. Here I said western boots, a big Fall trend, and a cowboy hat. On a chilly day, you could add a denim jacket. This look would be darling for a music festival, country concert, country fair, the rodeo, or like I am wearing it on vacation to Jackson hole, Wy.

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To Fall

What To Wear, When Transitioning From Summer To FallHello Pretty Ladies,

Hoping your week is going well. I came off a fantastic trip with my mom and sister to deal with some significant family and home issues, and I feel a little overwhelmed and sad. Knowing we all have things to deal with, sometimes it feels like when it rains, it pours. I know we have to put all our faith and trust in God in times like these. (If you are a prayer warrior, we could sure use them)

When you have a career in social media, everything always seems to be perfect, and I think it’s important to share real life. I believe that is what sharing and being transparent is about. I always try to be positive and smile, but that is who I am. Even when the world around you seems to be crashing, you can always find the good. So remember when life seems complicated (we all have those periods), and it could always be worse. 

With that being said, that might be why you don’t see me personally poping into stories as often. Just know I appreciate you. Thank you for being in my tribe and for your love and support. Now let’s get to the good stuff. I have a fun Chit Chat Chic to host tonight with some exciting news, so I hope you’ll tune in at 6:00 mnt. Time. I also had the opportunity to work with Chicos on their Fall transition launch, and that is what I am excited to share with you today.

Look 3 is a great comfy travel outfit, casual sports outfit, or easy lounge outfit. Comfortable sweat pants that come in several colors, oversized, so size down. Paired with a rocker graphic tee and a left-open button, add a styling element. I 3 dressing in odd numbers, just like in designs 3,5 and 7, adds interest and dresses up the outfit a touch. ( not that sweats and a tee are dressy, the button-up adds an extra element.)

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

Hello Pretty Ladies, I hope you had a great week. I am on vacation with my mom and sister, taking a road trip, and checking a few places off our bucket list. (more on that later) I hope you are tuning into my Instagram stories to travel with us. While I didn’t join in on the Chat on Chit Chat Chic, they talked about all things hair. I thought I would chime in here and share my picks. 7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools.

Some of my biggest questions asked is how I do my hair and what I use. below, I am sharing a quick round-up of my hair care products, tools, and styling items I love. Hoping I can answer some of your questions in the process. Note: I share how I style my hair and ways to do a couple of my go-to looks over on my Instagram on reels, and the Highlight Tap Hair do’s. HERE HERE.

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

  1. T3 Hair Dryer-Want that professional blowout look? Need your hair to dry fast? Then this is your hair dryer. 

  2. Braided Hair Piece– I love this easy-to-wear headband. So easy to use and adds detail to your hair fast. I love it with a ponytail but looks great with your hair down and a couple of pieces of hair pulled out around your face. Affordable at $

  3. T3 curling Iron-Need a Curling Iron that helps your hair stay curled? This one does the trick.

  4. Wet Hair Brush– The brush you have to use on damp hair to prevent damage. and untangle hair with easy LOVE

  5. Hair scrunches– Perfect for protecting your hair at night from damage. It also works great for a top knot to add bulk and create a bigger bun. 

  6. Dry Shampoo– Dry Bar Dry shampoo is my all-time favorite. It smells incredible and works to give your hair a fresh look without feeling gummy. The original is excellent for blonds. If you’re a brunette, get the dry shampoo for brunettes, as the original can leave a white residue. This also acts a little bit like a texture spray. 

  7. Kendra Hair Spray– I have finally found a hair spray that genuinely works on my silk straight hair to help hold a curl. It’s worth every penny. 

  8. Hair Bands-These little clear hair ties are great for braids. Also, bubble hair do’s and half-up hair styling. I also love these to wrap up my holiday ribbons and keep cords wound up. 

  9. Navy Texturing Spray-I didn’t start using a texturing spray until a couple of years ago, not realizing this also helps with the body and does work to help keep your hair to hold a style. For me, it helps my hair to hold a curl. I have to do a lot to help my natural silky straight hair! In my book, it’s a must-have product.

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This is my easy and oh so delicious Avocado toast recipe. Fun Fact: I was not too fond of avocados until a couple of years ago. I was not too fond of the texture. Now, I eat one every day and could eat this Toast every day! I am not going to chat today. I am just getting to the recipe!

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Avocado Toast Recipe:

You’ll need the following:

1 Avocado Cut up and mashed, seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning. 

2 slices of Toast buttered (We love sourdough)

1 Egg scrambled or cooked the way you liked. Salt and peppered! (I had a little shredded cheese on my Egg)

1 Farm fresh Tomato sliced and seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Assemble: 

Make sure your Toast is toasted well. This helps the bread from getting soggy. I also like my Toast buttered. 

Once you have all of the above prep, Egg cooked, Toast toasted and buttered, Avocado cut mashed and seasoned, tomato sliced and seasoned. You assemble. 

I like to spread the Avocado first. This acts like glue for the Egg; add Egg, layer tomato, and sprinkle with a bit of extra bagel seasoning! 

That’s it! Taste fantastic and better than any restaurant Avocado toast! (I am sure the key is butter, everything bagel seasoning, and a farm-fresh tomato)

 

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

3 Card Games For Datenight

August 3, 2022

3 Card Games For Datenight

3 Card Games For Datenight

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you have a great start to a new month. Can you believe it is August, and fall is fast approaching? I thought it was that time again to share a date night idea. You know I love spending time with my hubby and that we love a good date night. I try to share with you every so often fun date nights. Below I am sharing 3 Card Games For Datenight! 

One of them was my favorite as a kid as we played UNO as a family and at all the holidays with relatives.

3 Card Games For Datenight

A bit of quality time can go a long way when it comes to deepening your relationship. The Gottman Institute states that dedicating two hours a week to romantic dates, including playing games or having meals together, is fundamental to creating a happy and healthy relationship.

Playing games can also be necessary for newer couples who want to break the ice and learn more about each other. After all, there’s always something new that you can learn about your partner, no matter how long you’ve been together!

So whether you’re getting to know each other or simply finding ways to liven up your dates, here are a few card games that can help you break the ice:

3 Card Games For Datenight

UNO

UNO is a well-loved card game that’s both fun and nostalgic.

In fact, UNO is a part of many family traditions and can be an exciting conversation starter. The rules remain simple and consistent: you can shuffle the deck before providing seven cards to each player. Then, you’ll take turns drawing a face-up card from the rest of the stack so that you can match one of your seven cards with the number or color of the face-up card. As you take turns drawing and matching cards, you can take this opportunity to talk about fun childhood memories regarding UNO. By taking your partner through memory lane, you can learn a bit more about each other and have a lot more fun while doing it.

Texas Hold ’em

Sometimes, you need a bit of competition to break the ice.

If you and your partner want some friendly competition, you can learn how to play Texas Hold ’em by going over the game’s rules together. In this poker variation, you and your partner will have to create the best five-card hand out of a set of seven cards: the five community cards that are revealed to all the players and the two hole cards that are unique for each player.

Poker players typically bet their chips based on the ranking of their own cards, but you can make your date even more fun by betting a funny dare or offering your partner’s favorite things as a prize instead. By raising the stakes in a creative way, a simple game of poker can lead to more fun experiences during your date.

Bridge

You can also break the ice by inviting another couple and playing a card game on your double date.

Renowned tennis player Martina Navratilova plays bridge socially and has found that it helps her quickly meet new friends. This social aspect means it’s also an excellent option for helping two couples bond with one another. Since teamwork is crucial in this card game, you and your partner will need to plan and coordinate accordingly so that you can deal with both of your hands well. By the end of the game, you’ll come out with a much better rapport.

Actually Curious

Got a question that you’ve always wanted to ask your partner about? Try playing the Actually Curious card game.

Creator Michael Tennant created game mechanics that lower players’ defenses and egos and allows players to speak with greater openness and intent. They are playing the Actually Curious card game challenges individuals to answer thought-provoking questions with honesty while also teaching the other party how to harness their empathy and active listening skills. Trying this game on your date can help you gain a deeper understanding of each other and grow much closer.

Card games can make your date even more interesting by providing thought-provoking questions or even a bit of a challenge. By playing one of these card games, you can make sure that you’re having the most fun while you’re in each other’s company.

Come with us to the Ghost of Gibson at the @thegra Come with us to the Ghost of Gibson at the @thegrandamerica hotel is Salt Lake City.

@cammishappyplace and I found the perfect spot to celebrate our October birthdays.

The Gibson Lounge gets a spooky yet elegant makeover, including a seasonal menu. 
Until November 1st

Perfect for a date, girls night or to sit and enjoy a yummy cocktail or meal.

The Wednesday Adam’s Gin cocktail is full of smoky bubbles and taste delicious.

We enjoyed a mouth watering Charcuterie board, with handmade season chocolates and local artisan cheeses, Shrimp cocktail and turkey avocado sandwiches.

Because we were celebrating our October Birthdays - we each had to have a piece of chocolate cake.

If you find yourself in Salt Lake City - The Grand Hotel is a beautiful place to celebrate any occasion in luxury. 

Happy Halloween week pretty ladies🍂🎃
Two ways to wear all black. 🖤 with @cammishappypla Two ways to wear all black. 🖤 with @cammishappyplace

There’s a reason we keep coming back to a black outfit: 

it’s easy to mix and match, 
makes a simple combination feel polished, 
and gives your accessories a chance to stand out.✨

The trick? 

Mix textures, add jewelry you love, and choose shoes and a bag that give it some personality. 

All black doesn’t have to mean all boring!❌

Wear it to dinner, a concert, a celebration, or an evening out with your girlfriends. Swap the heels for flats and you’ve got a whole different feel🙌

Comment “SHOP “and we’ll send you BOTH outfit links - one for Cammi’s look and one for D’Arcy’s. 

All black 🖤 with

✨Glamour Girl✨ Halloween Dinner

You get inspiration from everything & everywhere….

I found mine for this table from  these “Versace”
Vibe plates I found at homegoods🖤✨🌸🕷️🔱🦋

I knew I wanted to create a Glamor feeling Halloween Tablescape.

Incorporating @hotskwash Shades of green handmade velvet pumpkins with real stems, they added just the right richness.
 
Using Vintage silver Teapots and coffee pots as vases, brings in that elegance of times past.

I choose fresh flowers in rich shades of pinks, and oranges, to pull out the color in the plates.

Black velvet ribbon, candle sticks and silverware, add the depth, elegance, yet a chic Halloween darkness.

Finishing touches of Gold accents, plate chargers and glasses.

With a little added webbing, a few scattered black spiders and gold butterflies, add just enough, “spook “

Who’s coming to dinner?

I’ll be serving my Spiced Cider cocktails 🍏🍸
