Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


Perfect look’s for Spring that can take you into Summer!

Sharing fun looks today on Fox13 The Place, that can take you from Spring to Summer with easy. (I will share link to watch later today) Each outfit is from one of my favorite new shopping sites Standards and Practices. A great company that carries on trend and great quality clothes for woman size 0-22. If you visit their site

Accessorizing the looks! A couple of years ago, we had statement necklace as a huge trend….Now we have statement earrings! They started showing up last Spring, Now it’s a must have item to give your outfit that finishing touch. Trending everywhere, we’re seeing large earrings in tassel’s, fringe, beaded, metals and acrylic. I’ve picked some favorites to pair with today’s outfit’s, from Victor and Mark! I hope you enjoy todays show and blog post!

spring outfit

This racerback jumpsuit is crafted from a stunning red floral graphic print chiffon. The playful capri romper ties as a halter around the neck,and defines your figure with a waist tie. With a cropped length,the legs feature split front hems, with the splits reaching up to the knee for a fun additional detail.

For today’s model Kjirstin, I paired this cute romper with these great statement earrings by Victor and Marc, giving this look the finishing touch. This outfit can be worn with heals like in photo or with a cute wedge like I paired with on today’s Fox13 The Place, fashion segment. This look is a perfect look for a Garden wedding, Lunch with the girls or even a baby shower.

 

statement earring

Sangria red Tassel Earring by Victor and Marc help finish off this darling outfit! I have been obsessing over their earrings lately! ( I think I have 6 or so pairs now!) You can only shop this little mama owned business on instagram here.  Here’s a fun little fact about these earrings= Victor and Marc Loved being apart of the collaboration with the super talented and creative singer/songwriter/fashion blogger and writer @ariellepaul .Head over to her blog to check out her write up on the magical pairing of @victorandmarc and @maisonkemang. Their handbags are all handmade and beautifully unique – the perfect combo with Victor and Marc statement jewels.

This denim chambray dress is sexy, casual, and feminine. Ashley is a high-low racerback dress with thin spaghetti straps. The midi dress is made from comfortable soft tencel in a wash that’s slightly faded around the seams for a cool, lived-in look. The high-low back gives the classic jean dress a modern silhouette that moves and flows when you walk. Easy to Wear; Pull over your head and go. Includes navy chiffon lining.

The Ashley dress that I styled cute Britney in for today’s Fox13 Segment is a perfect dress to wear all Spring & Summer. For casual shopping day’s or running kids around while looking chic and comfortable. I dresses it up today with fun tassel statement earrings by Victor and Mark (shown below.) This cute look can be worn with flip flops, booties or a wedge sandal, depending on the look & comfort your wanting!

wishbone

This white ponte midi dress is sophisticated for the workwear and playful enough for after hours. Elegant and bright, this sleeveless sheath dress features a longer back with back zip and scoop neckline. The sleeveless dress is slightly longer in the back for asymmetrical hemline that’s both feminine and current.

I loved this cute cream Horseshoe or wishbone dress, perfect for work or a wedding shower. Wishing I would have had it for my Son’s college graduation! You really will get a lot of use out of this cute and easy to wear dress. I paired it for today’s segment with my favorite denim jacket to show you can dress it down and make it more casual, for a day date or a spring evening.  I was so excited to find these perfect matching horseshoe acrylic earrings, mimics the design of the dress perfect! (crazy that their named Hudson, like my oldest son!)

Circle straw bag

Ciara bag is perfect for Spring and Summer. Pairs perfectly with all 3 of these looks. This seasons must have straw circle bag, is a great bag to take from lunch to the pool!  This fun company The Bagtique has so many cute bags for Spring and Summer, I really am purchasing way to many bags and clutches!

I love clothing that you can wear for multiple seasons and really feel like your getting your money’s worth in quality and style. Shopping Standards and Practices gives you just that! These 3 looks have very different feels and are great for many of life’s event through Spring and Summer, dress them up or down with your shoes and accessories. Layer them up for a chilly Spring day or Summer night!  I hope you enjoyed today’s post and if you didn’t catch the segment on Fox13 The Place, I’ll post it here later today!

Do you have a small grandchild or baby? This is Do you have a small grandchild or baby?

This  is a fun and easy project
To capture their small foot print forever 🖤

Turning those tootsies into a spooky little treasure to cherish for Falls to come.

Make on for yourself and one for the parents😉

You’ll need:

-A fun nature print or vintage barn canvas… Something that looks like fall without being Halloween.

-I found a barn canvas at vintage market days and I found a fun print I could frame for my DIL.. Search vintage shops, goodwill and even the big box shops have affordable framed canvas, that could work

- Washable white paint , I used

-Med size foam brush 
-Paper plate

I put little man in the high chair with a snack and painted one foot at a time, lifted him out and pressed foot on canvas. 

Remeber to have artwork upside down, so the toes will be the bottom of the ghost on the Art. 

I then placed him in the chair again, did the other foot and repeated with the other foot. 
Pressing this foot a little higher than the other..

Making it look like two little ghost flying:)👻👻👻

-When dry 

- With a black sharpie pen put two dots on the heels of the foot print🖤

Enjoy….

Do you like little seasonal projects? Or projects you can do with your grandbaby?
