Don’t be discouraged by closed doors!

Lila Dress  , shoe converse, sun glasses Nordstrom Sold out

Don’t be discouraged by closed doors!  

Today I am sharing with you some of my belief’s and little “pep talk’s” I give myself when a door closes or discouragement set in.

We all have goal’s and dreams and some times things just don’t go as we planned. Getting discouraged is really easy!  I have had many doors close on me in my life that I just wanted to Prior OPEN!!! As I have gotten older I have learned to trust God. YES FAITH!  “dare to BELIEVE” and the Right doors OPEN… The doors God has in store for you! Sometimes it’s not in our timing but in his!  When I learned to trust God and Pray, Pray a lot! I noticed I didn’t get discouraged or disappointed when a door closed or even SLAMMED into my face! I realized something better was coming. (Now don’t stop trying and working towards those goal it’s not going to just get handed to you!) I believe a closed door is God’s way of protecting you from taking the wrong path…A bigger and better door will OPEN!

Walt Disney was turned down by 300 banks before he got a loan to build Disneyland! Now…I don’t know if Walt believed in God but I do know he had FAITH in himself  and determination to Build his dream! He did not give up! He had many doors close but finally the one he needed OPENED!

God has BIG plans for you trust him to guide you through the right doors. Remember God puts people in your life or in your path to help you! It’s ok not to do everything yourself. Draw strength from each other. “When we come together in faith, Great things happen!” I have to tell this to myself all the time!  I am a control freak and want things done correct or My way….So I end up doing it ALL by myself to be assured it’s DONE and done correct!  Draw strength from each other it’s ok to let go sometimes!

When we come together in faith, great things happen! 

Sometimes the reminder of reaching your Highest Potential is Put God first and allow the people he puts in your path to help you to OPEN more doors! 

Trust in yourself, BELIEVE in yourself, work hard, follow your dreams and let God be your guide…Your doors will OPEN! 

Become who God created you to be….

May you have many doors OPEN! OX,  D’Arcy

Tuesday's Tip: Gym Motivation Quote

Tuesday’s tip is a couple of  way’s I stay Motivated to go to the gym!

1= I lay out my Gym clothes the night before… I know that sounds crazy but it really does help me. Plus you save time in the morning when your tired and hurrying to get the kids off to school!

2=I go right after I drop my son off at school! Then my day doesn’t get away from me. If I wait…Other things become more important!

3= Starting my day off right… with a workout just feels better! Even on mornings I just don’t feel like it…once I am done I was glad I did it!

4=Summer is coming!!!   Well maybe we do live in UTAH!

5=Knowing I am burning 500/600 calories….FOOD I love food!

6= Cute workout clothes help to keep me motivated…”Treat yourself to a new outfit when you reach a goal?”

7=I feel much better when I work out! I remind myself of this because it’s easy to skip a workout then you skip 2 or 3 then all of a sudden you’ve stopped for a month or two!

8= Being over 40…It’s true your body changes and staying active really does help gravity and health.

I could list a few more but I think you get the point I need a lot of Motivation to get to the gym! I would rather lay in bed with a cup of tea and scroll through instagram! OXOXOX, D’Arcy

Happy May day Beautiful’s! 

A New Month can mean a fresh start or for me a look at my progress on my goals. I take joy in looking back on my list’s to see my little victories.  I love list to keep me motivated. I am always writing… goals, prayers, dreams, thoughts and Ideas. Starting at the First of the Year I write a Big list for the Year…. Then I break it down into Months,weeks and even day’s. This helps me stay organized and also  keeps the BIG picture attainable… Taking little steps along the way allows you to see your making progress and helps keep you motivated.  I truly believe if you don’t see process you become frustrated and can let your dreams and goals slip away.  

Another way I stay motivated is reading these few quotes daily… 

” I can do all this through him who gives me strength. “Philippians 4:13

“Don’t fear failure! Fear being in the same place next year as you are today!” unknown

“Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.” Oprah

“Stay Positive, work hard, and make it happen.”

“Everything you do now is your future.  Think about that.” Unknown

It’s never to late to start Your list and Make you dreams a reality! OX, D’Arcy

Happy Tuesday Tip Day!

Are you a busy mom or Career Girl or heck Both?

Today I wanted to Share with you one of MY time saving tricks. Just like Meal prep…It takes a little time but is a huge pay off when its done. Not to mention the amount of time saved… standing in your closet STARING at your clothes! BEEN there?

First= Look up the weather for the week… This allows you to organize the correct types of outfits for your week. Here in Utah you can go from Winter to Summer in A day! (I do my Outfit prep on Sunday)

Second= Look up your schedule for the week. This allows you to see if you need other outfits besides your normal work day outfits. (date night, bridal or baby shower, Special meeting, Church or event etc.)

Third= Have a space you can Hang them… A spot in Your closet, a garment hook, clothing rack or Garment rack. I have a clothing rack Shown above that holds about 8 organized outfits. You can Find RACK here. This rack is affordable and takes up very little space. It can even fit in most peoples walk in closet. I use these for my clients closets, perfect for a their weeks worth of outfits. 

Now for the fun part… Assembling your outfits! I like to put everything you need for the outfit on the Hanger. Top, Bottom and accessories. I then pick out what shoes and bags go with each outfit. ( If the bag is a clutch or small bag I hang that on hanger as well.) I then line all the outfits on rack according to the week, line up shoes underneath. (If I am doing this for a customer I take a picture of outfit all the pieces and clip to the hanger)  This process can take 1-2 hours depending on how fast you are at looking at your clothes and mixing it up.   I promise you it’s worth the time prepping your Clothes for the Week! If you haven’t done this before…You’ll be thanking me:)

Now….You’ll have all this extra time in your week! What will you do with it?  

I would love to know if you try this tip & comment below:)

Have a beautiful week! OX, D’Arcy

Knowing your body type…and Dressing for it!

Hello Beautiful’s! 

Today I am chatting about knowing your body and what works on it!  All of our bodies have a strengths and weakness. For instance My strength is my long legs and my weakness is I am square, no waist and I hold any extra weight in my middle area. I am a Ruler= Straight up & down! With this type of a build I am going to play up my legs and draw attention away from my middle. This is why Shirt dresses work great for me (above) It flatters my figure. While Shirt/shift dresses work on Almost every figure, Its shorter style and no waist line make’s it’s my go to in a dress choice.  I don’t wear Dresses that draw attention to the waist, have a  belt at the waist or the Popular wrap dresses because it isn’t flattering on me.  Now for a person that has a little waist It’s a perfect.  (some would say wearing a belted dress gives my square shape a shape!!! It does not…it just make me look square) This is one of the reasons to know what works on YOUR body! You need to feel comfortable and confident!

When you know what works on your body it makes shopping easier and you know what styles you can eliminate.  Now this doesn’t mean you have to purchase the same styles time after time! It just means you have a better sense of the styles you are looking for. Boy does this help in the try on rooms!! 🙂

I have found with my body type I look better in pencil skirts verses A line skirts because A line skirts draw attention to waist and have flowy fabric around the leg area, where a pencil skirt draws attention to my legs and is structured for a more tailored look that suits my shape. 

Knowing what works helps you to look and feel your best everyday! Why try to wear something just because it’s in Fashion if it doesn’t look good on your body, you won’t feel Fabulous!  Dressing for your body type will change how you look and purchase clothes!  Most of all, You will Always feel great!  For more about dressing for YOUR body TYPE, I found a great article for you over at Who Whore What .

If you have any questions or want some tips from me on what I think would look great on you.  Please leave a comment below and I will have you send me some photo’s of you via email, and I’ll be happy to send YOU your personal styling tips:)

Thank you for reading Dear D’Arcy, OX D’Arcy

Hello Beautiful’s!  Today I am sharing with you my Master bedroom Spring make over. One of my favorite thing’s is to change my bedding and little touches in my room for the seasons in an affordable way. By having  good furniture and a Color pallet that allows you to change accessories and make little changes for BIG impact!

You can see what it looked like before for Winter here . With some of these easy to do tricks you can switch your room up too.    

For Spring I like to lighten it up…In all way’s, bedding, curtains and color. My Tip for being able to change the whole look of a room with just switching out accessories is to use a wall paint you love and can work with ALL the seasons. Our walls are Revere pewter by Benjamin Moore its a great go to Gray! (Gray’s work well with every color!) If gray’s aren’t your thing, shades of Cream and greens are great for bedrooms as well as working with all the seasons.

I love our White bedding from Anthropologie I bought a couple years ago, A similar bedding here . White I know is brave ( specially with a black cat that likes to sleep at the foot of our bed.) Switching out your bedding seasonally helps to keep it in good condition and easier on the wear and tear. Tips for keeping white’s white Here from a post I did last week. I have 3 bedding sets in different seasonal weights and colors that ALL work together. Whites, gray’s and blacks, which All of these colors can be accented with any POP of color. ( You could have 2 sets 1 for Fall/Winter- Spring/Summer) Living where we have 4 seasons it’s important to have 1 heavy set & 1 lighter set.

I added a pop of pale pink with a couple of throw pillows a blanket and some candles. Bringing in pink books at the end of the bed also helps tie in the pop of pink without having to go buy another item.  I always and I mean always have fresh flowers on my nightstand. It’s my splurge that puts a smile on my face. Waking up to flowers being one of the first things you see in the morning is just a blessing. How could you have a bad day? I will keep various shades of pink for the Spring season. (note Little Miss jumped up onto the Nightstand/desk just as I snap photo’s!)    NOTE the small amount of pink… I could easily change out the pink items for a different color say Tiffany Blue items for a different look and not having to spend a ton of money. (2 pillows 1 blanket a  couple candles and go through my books)

Changed out the Winter wreath and deer head for a Frame and our monogram. I keep seasonal items that I can trade out for a fresh look.  I also move things around in our home to freshen things up and give spaces a new look. TIP: I suggest buying Items you love and things that can go in multiple spaces. This way you can move objects from room to room. (You’ll always find a space for something you love!) So give it a try…Move stuff around!

Taking the curtains down and just letting the plantation shutters shine.      Spring Sunshine is just the BEST! 

Sorry, I didn’t really make any changes to our sitting room or dresser areas so I didn’t add new photo’s of those spaces.

I hope I inspired you to do a little change up in your bedroom for Spring. OX, D’Arcy

Hello Beautiful’s,  I hope you had a wonderful Easter and are enjoying the Spring blooms popping up. I love this time of year when flowers are are springing up, the trees have beautiful blooms and the smell of fresh cut grass fills the air.  I wanted to share with you the floral dress I wore for Easter that was under $40.00! A cute shirt dress with pockets and a puffy sleeve. I got so many compliments at church and it’s perfect for Spring! I paired it with my favorite wedge’s  and a cute statement earring . 

Do you love floral’s as much as I do?  I would love to know if you love wearing floral’s in the Spring!

Here’s a peek at the Spring blooms popping up around our neck of the woods…

I hope you have a lovely week & great weather. OX, D’Arcy

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.

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🙌

✨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 🍏🍸
