Dear D'Arcy

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

August 20, 2025

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I’m sharing a few trends of the season, as well as some easy outfit ideas, too. Fall fashion is one of my favorite seasons to shop for, so let’s have some fun!!

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories, a Perfect & affordable way to give your wardrobe a little update. Here are a few of the things I am noticing:) & What I’ve been Fall Trend spotting. Mixing Affordable finds with classic wardrobe staples to refresh your Fall wardrobe. Think Layers, classic Ralph Lauren, Rich fabrics, wool, tweeds, plaid, Cable knit sweaters, mixed with denim, and suede. The English countryside sets the stage for this year’s classic fall, adding in that East Coast Preppy vibe. Take these classic wardrobe basics and mix in this season’s hot colors and accessories. It is a great way to elevate any outfit this Fall.

Tv Segment

I am headed to GTU tomorrow. For another Fashion Fix TV Segment…Featuring: “ This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories ” @ 9:40ish am Mnt. ABC Good Things Utah/ stream live from anywhere link in bio. Watch the segment HERE.

Ralph Lauren Vibe

Ralph Lauren’s style is characterized by timeless elegance, classic American fashion, and a blend of sophistication and casual comfort.
It often features preppy elements, clean lines, and a neutral color palette, with an emphasis on quality fabrics and versatile pieces that transcend trends.

Key elements of Ralph Lauren style:

- Timeless classics:
  
  Ralph Lauren is known for enduring pieces like tailored suits, crisp white button-down shirts, and polo shirts, often in a preppy style.
- Neutral color palette:
  
  A signature aspect of the brand is the use of neutral tones like navy, white, tan, and other earthy shades, which are highly versatile and create a sense of understated elegance.

Effortless yet polished:

The style is about achieving a refined look without appearing overly contrived or trend-driven.

Mixing patterns and textures:

Ralph Lauren often incorporates a mix of patterns (like stripes, plaid, or polka dots) and textures (like leather, cashmere, or tweed) in unexpected ways, adding depth and visual interest to the overall look.

Preppy Style

The preppy vibe in my eyes is a classic style, and a vibe some of us always lean towards. Last year, we started seeing rugby stripes, polos, & loafers in a big way, and it will be even stronger this year.

- Think polo shirts, chinos, loafers, and blazers in classic colors like navy, white, and khaki.
  
  Country club chic:
  
  A blend of casual and sophisticated pieces, like a cashmere sweater paired with tailored trousers and a statement belt.

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

August 17, 2025

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! Today, I am happy to share with you the outdoor dining space. Which I started creating at the beginning of summer (I shared a sneak peek a couple of times). As I put things together. I am all about romanticizing our daily lives, and what better way than to create spaces in our home that we can enjoy life’s little moments.

Dining Alfresco

Our family loves to be outside and enjoy our outdoor living spaces. We recently redid two of our decks, and our deck off our kitchen, looking into our backyard, we reworked it and decided, besides having a sitting and lounging area, we would also like to include a dining for two space. I thought this would have a cute European vibe if I created it by my potted herb garden. This area sits right out our French doors off the kitchen.

With beautiful views, a private sitting, and steps from the kitchen, it makes it easy and relaxing to have a morning coffee or evening drinks and appetizers. I hope you’ll enjoy a peek into this fun little dining Alfesco space, and maybe be inspired to create one too. Ox, D’Arcy

—Romanticizing your daily life—

Creating a European-style alfresco dining area on our deck. Perfect for morning Coffee and reading or Evening Drinks and appetizers. Taking a simple spot on your deck or porch can easily become a pretty entertaining space for two. With a little imagination, a few treasures, and a lot of love, a European dining space can be created.

How perfect was the flying Hot Air balloon while I was setting up and filming this morning’s dining experience a month ago or so? We live in a lake/ski area mountain community, and hot air balloons often fly in the early summer mornings. I couldn’t have asked for better timing!

To create an Alfresco Dining Space, you’ll need:

-A little corner in your backyard

-A bistro set or a small table and two chairs. I linked A few options here for you: Amazon, Target, Wayfair, Walmart, and West Elm

-Potted herbs (European restaurant outdoor dining areas often have a lot of potted herbs and flowers). Several even use a potted garden to block a street view to make it more quaint and private.

– A chandelier

-Potted Lavender, Dried Lavender

-Pretty floral dishes

-Pretty coffee cups

-Napkins & rings

-Creamer

-Pretty serving pieces

-Layered tableclothes ( I love mixing textures, Linen, cotton, and Burlap)

-A rooster statue or a Pig is a great prop. Natural wood or painted white, or even Iron stone. ( My rooster is wood, and I painted it white, but I am going to sand most of it off to make it look like a French antique.)

– Items with a basket vibe ( I have a vintage French water Jug, and a vintage basket with a candle)

-Galvanized watering can or cans

-Wall fountain or ironwork for the wall

Sharing my affordable tips and how I created this inviting dining space

How perfect was the flying Hot Air balloon? While I was setting up and filming this morning’s dining experience a month ago or so? I live in a lake/ski area mountain community, and hot air balloons often fly in the early summer mornings. Couldn’t have asked for better timing!

Easy Tips You Can Follow

-When creating or redoing a space in your home, see what you have that you can repurpose.

-Thrifting can be your friend. Remember, a few months ago, I shared these cute seagrass dining chairs I found at a thrift store. I knew they would be perfect for our outdoor dining space. All I had to do was clean them up.

-Tips when thrifting: Go with an open mind, and check back often. Thrift stores get new items daily, so you never know what you’ll find.

-Depending on your budget, you can purchase from high-end antique and box stores or budget-friendly thrift stores and favorites like Amazon Home Goods and Tj Maxx. I like to do both. I love Antiques and high-end linens and dishes, but I also like thrifting and hunting at Homegoods and a good Amazon find. Mixing gives you a homier vibe along with a richer feel.

Easy Slow Cooker Shredded Bbq Chicken Sandwhiches

August 10, 2025

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday, today’s in the kitchen with D’Arcy, it’s an easy Slow Cooker Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, a family favorite recipe. This is a perfect and easy recipe. Great for a hot summer day, no heating up that kitchen.

I hope you have a great Sunday.

Easy Slow Cooker Recipe

Shredded Bbq Chicken sandwiches

Package of @foodandmeat co-op farm fresh chicken breast

1 18 oz jar of your favorite bbq sauce(I like Trader Joe’s organic Kansas City style bbq sauce) Or Stubbs original
1cup water
1 cup of diced white onion
1/2 cup diced green onion
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet
1 teaspoon of pepper flakes

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker on high heat. Stir every so often. When the chicken starts to break apart, turn to warm and shred it with a chopper, two forks, or a hand mixer. Then, warm buns (we like Brioche buns), add pepper jack cheese if you like, and top with the shredded chicken.

Serve with my Roasted Garden Veggies RECIPE HERE

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread

Hello Pretty Lady,

The recipe I make often is a family favorite and has been highly requested by you. I’ve finally had a chance to get it up on the blog, and I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does. You’ll have to let me know in the comments below if you try it.

Focaccia Dough recipe:

4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, 2 cups water. Whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast first, then add water and stir together. Add olive oil, then cover the bowl preferably with a lid or a cloth bowl cover. Stick the bowl in the fridge immediately; leave it there to rise for 12 to 18 hours (or for as long as three days). The dough recipe is one I tried from Alexandria | and it’s seriously so good on its own with rosemary and the Sea Salt. But, I just had to try it with my Caprice Toppings, and man, the combination is so good!

TIP:

I baked the bread the day or so before (double the batch and make a couple), freeze one for later.

Then I added all the toppings and baked for 15 minutes, or you can serve toppins cold on the baked foccia & drizzled with balsamic glaze, and served

Caprice Toppings:

-Organic Tomatoes

-Fresh Basil

-Fresh rosemary

-Chopped garlic cloves

-Mozzarella ( I like Trader Joe’s cut in 1/2, and I use a little of the oil it’s in to drizzle )

-Sprinkle flaky salt

-Drizzle with olive oil (I use garlic-infused)

Serve with :

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Bruschetta sauce (Trader Joe’s)

Love a little dipping, but it’s tasty all on its own

Other topping options:

Kamala olives

Jalapeños

Have a beautiful day, ladies, and remember that your smile is your best accessory.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! Hoping you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list. I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up.

I’ve been shopping this sale for over 30 years and look forward to it every year. It’s a great time to pick up items/brands that are hard to find on sale! They have amazing beauty bundles you can’t get any other time of the year!

Items I purchase for my wardrobe, I wear, tend to wear on repeat as well as build my classic wardrobe with good quality pieces.

This year’s SALE is truly one of the BEST I’ve seen in years… My wish list would be everything you see here in my graphics (if I could.

Things to Remember & a few tips

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 8th to August 3rd. Store sales will open to the public from July 14th to August 3rd. Are you a cardholder?

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!

Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!

Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.

Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. Breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

Summer Salad Season Crunchy Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

Summer Salad Season Crunchy Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. The weather in Utah has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending a lot of time outside working on Yard and Garden projects and craving salads. With that being said, for today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am sharing my recipe for my Crunchy Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad. It’s so good, the mix of crunchy Chicken and sweet pecans with the savory flavor of Blue cheese gives this mixed green and veggie salad that wow factor.

Crunchy Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad Recipe:

2 Panko-crusted chicken breasts cut into cubes ( I use my Chicken Schnitzel recipe) (I make a couple extra that week for dinner & reserve to make this salad that week)

One Bag of mixed greens of your choice or hand chop ( I like 1 chopped romaine, 1 chopped iceberg, and a handful of spinach)

1/2 cup Green onions

1 large tomato, diced

One Carrot sliced however you like

1 cup Blue cheese crumbles

1 cup Candied pecans

Fresh pepper to taste

Balsamic glaze for drizzle

Homemade garlic croutons (I use leftover garlic bread, cut into cubes and warm in the oven until crispy)

My dressing of choice is a homemade Italian vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar; the boys prefer blue cheese dressing.

How to serve:

This salad serves four as a main course for dinner. If so, I make four salads in individual bowls by dividing the ingredients evenly. If serving as a side or taking it to a party, I add everything to a large wooden salad bowl and mix the lettuce with a good toss. Then, I layer all the ingredients except the salad dressing and let people add that to their liking.
