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

April 13, 2022

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:

I hope you had a beautiful March. It sure went fast!

I am doing a fast recap of my March Best Sellers! These are the items I shared with you, my following, and you loved as much as I did and shopped my links! Which then became the most purchased items of the month.

I have realized you ladies love Best Seller-type blog posts, and It’s fun to feature a monthly recap of the best sellers every month. I appreciate those who read my blog, shop my links and follow me on social media platforms. Your support is how I get to do what I love.

9 Best Sellers For March 2022

Shop the Photo Below:

 

 

  1. Camo Stripe Neoprene bag– This bag is the perfect bag for travel or to take to the pool/beach and comes with a mini zipper pouch bag. 
  2. New Balance sneakers– that sell out in every color are so cool that I have influenced several influencers. They look great with everything from joggers and jeans to dresses! I own four different colorways now!
  3. Girl Boss Hoop Earrings– These square hoop earrings come in two sizes (I have both). I adore hoops, and these are a fun take on the traditional circle hoop! It makes a great gift and goes with every outfit!
  4. Wide Leg Pant– these Cloth & Stone pants are a Spring & Summer Staple. An easy-to-wear pant that travels well and looks great on every figure. If there was perfect Summer pant, these are them! (True to size)
  5. Fab Fur Slippers– These indeed are FAB, I have similar ones that cost me way more money, and these are fluffier and have a more comfortable cushy sole. These would also make a great affordable gift!
  6. Smith Rosebud lip set– A 3 piece lip balm, gloss set! So good I have them everywhere. Your lips will love you. Another great affordable gift. (Easter Baskets and Mother’s Day!)
  7. Donna Karen Deoterant– I have been using this deodorant for over 16 years, I love the smell, and it works so well. I love the Nordstrom lowered the price to $25 from $30 ( I buy the three-pack every Norstrom 1/2 yearly sale)
  8.  Soma Barlette-Not only is it pretty, it has good support, and the lace isn’t itchy! I highly recommend this cute bralette. It also looks pretty peeking out of a blazer or under an off-the-shoulder top. 
  9. Free People Maggie Jean– I love these edgy yet cool jeans. I love the way it fits, the way you can create several different looks that I own in several color washes. I style them with rocker tees and blazers to pretty lacey tops and heels—one of my go-to pairs of jeans.

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

April 1, 2022

5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For!

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The other night on our Chit chat chic Live, we had a fun “show and tell ” 5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For! And We thought it would make for a great blog post, with all the information and products shared. So, below is a recap of what we shared in case you missed it or needed a refresh. (Shop this outfit above Here)

 

 

1. Share a trendy accessory you’re loving right now.

 

        Accessories are a big LOVE for me. They really do finish off an outfit and show your personality. I love a big statement ring, Arm Candy has always been a favorite, and this is 2 of my daily arm Stacks lately …My go-to earrings are always hoops… Classic, work with every hairdo, and really never go out of style. I tend to purchase from Kendra Scott, Uncommon James, Gorjana. I also have several Micheal Kor’s. As I love the quality and they always have great styles.

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

The ring finger is a 24-carat gold ring from Cartier ( I linked an affordable similar ring )  middle is Tiffany, the pointer is Kedra Scott on my wrist is a Diamond Tennis bracelet, layered with a Kendra Scott, and MiGnon Faget bracelet. 

Some of my Favorite pieces, and go to Rings are below:

 

 

Arm candy Bracelettes:

 

 

 

 

Below are my go-to Hoops, which I repeatedly wear, with the beaded ones above my latest obsession…I have in Cream and just ordered the white.

 

 

2. What spring/summer sandal style will you wear (or are you already)?

 

           Can I say, “I love Sandal season!”  I don’t think you could ever have too many pairs!  So, with that said! I will share what I’ve purchased this year, what I’ve been already wearing to Death, and the classic sandals I wear every year and add a new color to the mix.

Below are the styles I’ve already purchased and worn to death these last two months already.

 

 

Below are the sandals I have just recently purchased below:

 

 

The Miller Sandal by Tory Burch is an all-time classic and truly looks great with everything all Spring and Summer. But, if I were only to buy one sandal all year, I’d pick these. (I purchased my first pair in black leather over 8-9 years ago.) I believe (when they first came out) and have since added White, red, and natural.

 

Here’s a couple of outfit inspirations wearing THE MILLER sandal below:

June instagram recap
Summer linen is one of my favorite things and clearly yours too. You guys purchased a ton of these pants, and I wasn’t surprised because they are one of my favorite things, easy to style and were on SALE.

Shop the white linen pants Here and the outfit here.

 

3. What’s your favorite retail store currently? And why?

    This question truly is hard… because it depends on what you are looking for. So I am turning it around to where I’ve been shopping lately and what I have purchased!

–Evereve -Spring Wardrobe builders= Linen pants, Dress, Trench coat, shoes, Tank

–Free People =Jeans, Duster,

–Anthropology = Candles, Pant, lip Balm, Mug, Sweater, and Hat

 

–Nordstrom= Tennis shoes, Miller sandals, Deodorant, Earrings, jeans, Gift

–Saks= Sandals, Handbag, sandals, belt, perfume lotion

–Amazon= Seriously, too many items to list because I order something every day from household to clothing 😂  Here’s been a favorite or two: Watch charger, Barstools, slippers, Jewelry Organizer, Blazer

 

–H&M= wardrobe basics in Neutrals see my $100 challenge HERE

–Loft= The BEST joggers I wear on repeat and a denim mini skirt I love so much I bought it two years in a row🤦🏼‍♀️

–Target= Like you, I am sure I shop at Target weekly for anything from Food to clothing and home goods. A Target trip brings me joy♥️ But Honestly, Target has been a real miss for me lately on the clothing… Here are a few things I did pick up on the Home goods side that brought me joy.

–Bohme= Wide-leg Denim, Top, Tee, and Bralette

–Avara= Top, jeans, Tunic sweater (save 15% with code DARCY15)

–Sephora= Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow set, Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, CT Lipstick, Perfume, YSL Lipstick  (Stay tuned for my Sephora Haul Tomorrow for the Annual SALE)

–Cabana Life= Resort wear perfect for pool time and tropical vacations. Tunic, bathing suit, pool pants, dress

 

 

4. What do you like to wear to sleep in?   

 

     Cami and short sets are my go too. I love a chemise and, on occasion, a PJ pant set, but it has to be super soft, and I do like the cool nights by Soma. I am very tactile and like my pj’s to be very soft, including lace. And I really like a cami-style strap.

My favorite brands are:

–Soma

–Adore Me

–Hanky Panky

–PJ Harlow 

-Pj salvage 

–PrintFresh 

Print fresh & Pj Salvage I wear Around House and lounging (I do not sleep in). I adore their patterns and styles—these work to be comfy and cute around the house as a mom of boys.

Shop Some of My Favorite Below:

5. Hats or no hats?  

 

 If you follow me, you already know the answer! Hat adoring girl here! I’ve collected hats since Jr. High school, and I still have some of them! I adore a good hat of any style. From Ball caps, beanies to Felt and straw! I will definitely spend good money on a high-quality hat, but that doesn’t mean I won’t grab an affordable, trendy one.

Here are a few of my All-time favorite hats, and a couple of my latest purchases:

Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

March 29, 2022

Finally, Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

 

Hello Pretty ladies,

Can you believe we are at the end of March already? I honestly can’t. It flew by for me. I know I had a lot going on with three trips and Our son’s birthday. But, it helped make a month that usually drags on for me fly by. 

March has also been unusually warm in Utah, which makes me happy. There is nothing like longer sunny days to help you get in the mood for Spring. Spring means Spring break, warmer vacations, pretty dresses, and simpler clothing. Which also means a need for Self Tanner in a big way for me? How about you?

I was so excited Tula launched a New body product line to help you Hydrate and polish your skin. Perfect timing for prepping your skin for self-tanners. In Utah, it’s so dry we need all the help we can get. Still, it’s essential to have buffed, exfoliated, and hydrated skin before applying self-tanner for the tanner to go on smooth and streak-free. Happy to introduce Tula’s Advanced Hydrating body moisturizer & Revitalizing Exfoliating body wash. 

Advanced Hydrating Body moisturizer,  this buttery cream instantly hydrates skin, leaving a natural, luminous glow that feels soft & supple—never greasy or sticky. Skincare-first ingredients yuzu & Vitamin C help improve the look of tone and texture, while hyaluronic acid & ceramides deeply moisturize and help improve skin softness. A subtle, comforting vanilla coconut scent makes this a body routine staple. So give the other 90% of your skin the kindness & indulgence it deserves.

Revitalizing Exfoliating Body Wash, This instant refresh for the body deeply cleanses and buffs away dull skin with lemon peel and hibiscus flower acid, improving the look of skin texture and tone—and providing a refreshing scent. In addition, three powerhouse AHAs help skin appear brighter. So lather up and get glowing with this skincare-first essential.

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.

And I’ve been wanting to try them. 

I thought that would be a good quick hack to serve them for a Sunday breakfast treat.

I brushed them with 🧈French Butter and French flaky Salt… (makes all the difference) you could eat them just like that…

I served them with Homemade Whipping cream and my Strawberry sauce along with Fresh Berries🍓🫐🌱

So so good… this would be a great brunch side dish or dessert as well.

These biscuits would make a great mini breakfast sandwich- egg cheese and bacon✔️
Or my Family’s  favorite-Biscuit’s and Gravy 

❤️save to reference later

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

I hope you have a day full of Gods Blessings and good food
