“East Coast Summer” Capsule wardrobe.

A collection of Classic Summer staple pieces that give you the feeling of Coastal Breezes, East Coast -“Nancy Meyers” Vibe. Pretty Details, Patriotic, coastal, Farmers Markets, Gardening, Farm to Table recipes, Outdoor dining, Flea Markets, and Treasure Hunting. If this is your Vibe, you’ll love the pieces I’ve put together to create these feelings of an East Coast Summer. It’s a “vibe” perfect for Summer and the 4th of July.

Pretty Sun dresses, linen shirts and pants, white jeans, patriotic sweaters, stripes, lobster print, Eyelets, and small florals paired with sun hats, straw bags, and neck scarves are classic, Preppy, a touch romantic, and very coastal. They are also perfect for the 4th of July outfit inspirations.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Last day of June, Man, how fast did that go by? I seriously felt like I blinked, and it was over! Summer is finally here in Utah, and Today, I have a TV segment on Good Things Utah, and I thought with the 4th of July Holiday here on Friday, as well as my love of all things Nancy Meyers, Martha Stewart, and Ina Gardner. It would be fun to share everything I love in one capsule wardrobe, perfect pieces to mix and match for the rest of summer, not just the 4th of July.

Summer Salad Season Crunchy Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

June 15, 2025

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.

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Easy Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great May. Man, did it fly by so fast? Did it for you as well? I felt like I blinked and it was over. Today, I’m hopping on the blog to share one of my favorite quick and easy recipes, perfect for a quick appetizer. These are ingredients most of us have on hand, which means you can throw them together quickly if you need to take a dish to a party or serve a little something to guests who drop by.

I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do. If you try it, I would love you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. OX

The perfect quick Appetizer that’s sure to please every time. Even better, you can make it ahead of time, as its taste is even better.

Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipe:

1 pack of softened Cream Cheese

One cup of shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/4 cup to roll a ball in)

1 cup green onions (reserve 1/4 cup to roll ball in)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt

Crackers of your choice (wheat thins are best), it’s a hard enough cracker to scoop up without breaking.

To create your Recipe:

In a medium-sized bowl

Use a mixer and whip up the cream cheese. When softened, add the cheese and mix until smooth. Then, add the green onion and garlic salt. Mix up.

Form into a ball, roll in the reserved green onion and cheese, place it back in the bowl, and cover. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

I prefer to make this a day in advance for optimal flavor.

Serve with crackers.

Great on cucumbers as well.

*Makes a great baked potato topping too

The Only White Dress You Need This Summer

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a beautiful day being celebrated. Today, I’m sharing what I’ll wear to church and brunch with the family, along with a little Mother’s Day message.

My greatest accomplishment is the family we’ve built. Not only the children I birthed, whom I am so proud of and thank God every day for. But also the home we opened up to others. The family came from friends, and the children we’ve been so blessed to have.

A Family is something you build, not something you’re given. Having a whole home, feeding others, opening our hearts, and being a safe space brings immense joy. I am grateful every day for those in our lives and a part of our “FAMILY,” it makes my mama heart happy🤍🤍🤍

Mother’s Day can be hard for some, with their mamas no longer with them or having difficulty becoming one on their own🙏🏻🤍 My heart goes out to you! You’ll be in my prayers🙏🏻

Happy Mother’s Day, pretty ladies, and may your day be full of everything you need it to be.

This white gauze dress is fully lined with three tiers, features pockets, a tie-waist design, and ruffled sleeves. It fits true to size. I am wearing a small. Think of all the ways you can style this dress all summer long for all of summer’s social season.

Celebrate Mother’s Day In NYDJ and Your Mom

April 30, 2025

Celebrate Mother’s Day In NYDJ and Your Mom

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re at the end of April and heading into May? That happened so fast! I’ve had a lot going on since the beginning of the year, and I’m finally starting to feel like I’m seeing the light. With May starting tomorrow, that means Mother’s Day is just 10 days away, on Sunday, May 11th. I haven’t made any plans yet, but I’m looking forward to finally getting my pots and garden planted, as Mother’s Day marks the start of the growing season in Utah, when it’s safe to grow without a major freeze. Hallelujah!

I’ll share more about my garden, including my weekend garden shares, tips, and other updates, in future posts. I do have a great Garden Gift Ideas blog post up here, if you’re interested. Do you have a garden-loving mom? I am sharing several of the items I love and use.

Today, I have our monthly blog share with Dawn, Cindy, and Stephanie. We’re sharing all things Mother’s Day! Today, I invite you to join me and my mom featuring NYDJ, where you can share moments with us and discover top sellers on sale that are chic, on-trend, and comfortable for all ages. Even better, they are on sale and make great gifts for the women in your life.

I also have several gift guides I’ve created with items my mom, I, and several of the women in our lives love to receive as gifts. I genuinely think I have something for every woman in your life. This would be a great blog post to save and reference anytime you need a gift for a lady in your life. NOTE: I also have additional information available on my Liketoknow. it. HERE

Styling NYDJ with Mom

Sale 30% off site wide with code: SPRINGBEST

D’Arcy’s Outfit

Two basics you’ll want to add to your wardrobe, you’ll style so many ways and wear on repeat! The prettiest shade of pink Laren button-up top in beautiful silk. Fits true to size; I am in the small. Paired with NYDJ Light wash, slightly barrel jean, the leg isn’t too barrel that it’s a great width if you’ve been wanting to try but don’t want it to be rounded-denim in a size 4, I would say, size down, these are a little too big on me, I needed the size 2.. but super comfy and a great relaxed fit. (That Jean, you would wear every day)

Styled with all Julie Voz Jewelry Necklace, earrings, and bracelet stack

A Walmart find: raffia/straw loafer with a horse-bit detail, true to size, and under $30. Paired with a gold metallic belt.

My Mom’s OutfitNYDJ’s

The oversized shirt boasts a stylish denim look, but it’s crafted from cool and breezy lyocell, which lends it a lightweight drape. Tailored menswear details, from a point collar to long sleeves with button cuffs to a back yoke, keep the design classic. I would Size Down in this top. Mom paired it wth these Mona Wide Leg Trouser Ankle Jeans, which also run one size smaller. She loved how comfortable this outfit is, and adored the shade of pink. It’s both our favorite color, in this shade.
