Easter Table Setting For Two

Hello Pretty Ladies,

A little Easter Table Setting  For Two on our (Kitchen island) … Perfect for Easter Breakfast or Brunch! I had a little fun creating a small table setting; wouldn’t this be fun for the kids or grandkids, too? 🍽🐇🥕🌸🌿

Of course, this little tablescape for two would be easy to adapt for a place setting of four, six, eight, or whatever number you might be hosting. All you would need to do is keep adding in the place settings for the proper number of attendees. 

As you can see, I love adding layers and textures to interest you. One of my best tips is to use what you have. See what you might already own with a similar feel or color pallet. You can always add a couple of affordable purchases to create a similar feel. 

I hope you enjoy this little Easter Table inspiration.

Why a Festive Table For Two

I know midlife can have you sharing your family, and some of you have shared that you only host Holidays every other year. This doesn’t mean you can’t have a festive table setting for you and your hubby. Creating a festive little Easter table setting doesn’t take much time, and you can use what you have.

Because it’s just the two of you, if you wanted to pick up little egg holders like I did or grab a couple of festive easter mugs or plates, you’re only purchasing two, which makes shopping affordable. I picked up these little gold eggs and bunny egg cups at Target’s dollar spot.

Where to Shop & Use What You Have

I found some adorable things at Target Dollar Spot, Amazon, the Dollar Store, and Hobby Lobby. To complement my Great-Nana’s pink dishes and my goblets from Anthropologie. My Silverware is something I picked up years ago, and I adore it. I’ve linked something similar HERE for you. 

Add texture and Layers.

Adding texture and layers is easy. Mixing metals, glassware, and fabrics gives texture. Layer your place setting by using a placemat and a charger, and then your place settings add texture and interest. Tip: You don’t have placemats? Use a napkin or a handkerchief, even scraps of fabric. If you don’t have a charger, use a large dinner plate from a different place setting collection. 

Usually, I cook a big Easter dinner for All the boys and their friends, so a place setting for two might be appropriate for Ben and me to enjoy a little coffee and pastry before church. Or a great idea for a special little treat shared with the grandkids.

Creating a Center Piece

A great way to create an easy Center Piece is to use a long wooden dough bowl or a tray. If you have little collections of Rabbits or Easter items, you can create layers within that bowl or tray, which acts as an anchor. A good rule to remember is to work in odd numbers when creating vignettes and remember to have space between the collections /Vignettes. Also, remember to add height to your collections; don’t have all your items be the same size. 

I always have fresh flowers in our home, and if you’re not good at arranging them, a cheap and easy way to incorporate flowers in your displays is to use baby’s breath. It’s inexpensive; you just cut them at the same length to give that bushel effect. It’s pretty and easy to do. 

 

One of my favorite quotes

“I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun—not because I can see it, but by it, I can see everything else.” —C.S. Lewis.

Easter Recipes

Here are a few of my Favorite Easter Recipes, which my family loves. My scallop potato recipe is a great Easter side paired with Ham. This Brussels Sprouts and Asparagus dish is another great side for brunch or dinner. They’ll love eating their veggies. As for dessert, my Easy Strawberry Shortcake is always a hit and tastes like Spring. Finally, here’s my secret recipe for the BEST Carrot cake.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Hello, Pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great holiday weekend and that you got to enjoy an extra day of today. Unfortunately, it snowed all weekend and messed up Ben and I’s date night. We had to reschedule it for a day that had better weather as we were headed to Salt Lake and didn’t want to drive in a snowstorm. 

Our weekend was still an entire house project, and I was also trying to accomplish the work I needed to finish on my blog, Amazon storefront, and Liketoknow. I need more hours in the day. 

Today, I must have been feeling a little French-inspired or channeling my inner Coco Chanel with my outfit. I am sharing outfit details on spring trends that I think you’ll love and enjoy wearing in multiple ways this season. Today is just one look, but I’ll be styling these pieces multiple over the next few weeks. 

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

5 Items Trending For Spring

  1. Stripes
  2. Wide Leg Denim
  3. Thin Belts
  4. Flower pins/ Chokers
  5. Loafers 

Below, you will see how I used these items to create this look. These are great accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Spring and Summer.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Today’s outfit combines trending stripes and wide-leg, high-waisted indigo denim, also trending for spring. This cute trending Lady’s Jacket is a fun Amazon find and affordable yet looks higher quality inspired by Chanel and is a cheaper version of the Jcrew version. The shorter length is flattering paired with high-rise, wide-leg denim. These flattering jeans and White Bodysuit are a “Best Seller” by Spanx.

(SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Free shipping and returns, too)

The accessories here are classic pieces yet very much on trend for spring. A flower-detail pin looks designer and has a channel vibe. A simple, traditional thin belt with a gold buckle and platform loafers add to this chic look, as do a great Hobo satchel/tote. I am finishing with gold jewelry to match the gold buttons on the jacket.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great weekend. We finished our huge garage remodel and organization, and it looks so good! I’m glad that the project is over. I’m now moving on to getting my office/studio/coset finished. House projects have been consuming us as we are trying to complete everything and 100% remodel to get our home listed.

Now, enough of that, and let’s move on to what I wanted to share today. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time. 

One of this Spring season’s HOTTEST colors is cornflower Blue💙 paired with Camel and white… You can never go wrong with this color combo….Mix and match it anyway; it will look polished and put together. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time: The right color combination can create great outfits, which makes it easy to shop your closet.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

 

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

I have styled an Amazon blue & white striped button-up shirt with Spanx white flared jeans and the “3rd piece” Camel-colored faux leather jacket. Perfect for the Office, a lunch date, a cute teacher outfit, or just grabbing a coffee with a friend. 

Tips that pull this look together

Tip: I tied the 3rd piece with a cap-toe ballet flat (the shoe’s base is Camel), which balances the jacket color. I also added a 4th color, the navy, in my bag💙 This adds a little texture to the look. Finish the outfit with gold accessories: A bracelet stack mix of Julie Vos & Lisi Lurch, a necklace stack, and earrings by Julie Vos.

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Monday, and I hope your week is off to a great start. Today, I wanted to bring to you Things you can still do in fashion and look current at any age without having to change your whole wardrobe just by making some little tweaks and not feeling like you have to jump on board with what you are seeing currently on trend or suggested on how you clean out your wardrobe. 

I have started a series called “What I won’t be doing in 2023” In which I share baby steps in how you can accomplish a wardrobe that will have you looking chic and feeling good at any age without breaking the bank and having to start from scratch as well as helping you find your style while building a classic wardrobe that will fit your body type.

Each week I will be sharing “What I won’t be doing” along with the “WHY” and “TIPS” that you can use as suggestions to help you make decisions in your wardrobe, which I think can be helpful for you to follow, clean out and purchase smarter. 

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won't Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

 

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

  • I won’t be Getting rid of All my low-rise jeans/pants
  • Jumping on Every 2024 Trend
  • Feeling the need to Clear out everything in my closet.

 ✨Won’t be getting rid of all my low-rise Jeans/Pants!

Here’s why:

Dress for your body type Not for what’s trending… Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t BE TRENDY…

What this means is to wear styles that are flattering on your shape and that you feel good in. So, if low-rise jeans/pants work on your shape great wear them. Keeping them current could mean picking a low rise in a straight leg or a flare, and maybe not a skinny.

Now if you love and look good in a skinny jean. Maybe try it in a Trending mid or high-rise style and see if that works on your body type.

It’s about balancing what looks good on you and what’s on trend.

✨Jumping On Every Trend in 2024✔️

Here’s why:

This has a lot to do with the above… It’s important to dress for your body type and feel good in what you wear.

Another way to Stay current with your wardrobe & wear what looks good on you is to pick a trending color or wear one trendy piece you do feel & look good in.

Tip: You may not like every trend, and that’s ok. it’s a suggestion on what’s current but not a must!

TIP: Trends are a great place to SAVE money when building your wardrobe… Don’t Spend a lot of money on trending pieces… Save that for the classic quality wardrobe builders. 

(Watch for my Save & Splurge) in Stories and over on LTK… I share them often!

Tip: Pick up Trending pieces at places like Nordstrom Rack, Target, Walmart, Amazon, TjMax,

Forever 21, H&M, or wait for a SALE.

By all means, if you LOVE a trend and you think you’ll wear that piece to death. Buy it🖤✔️ If you don’t pass on it✔️

✨Feeling the Need to Clear out everything in my Closet✔️

Here’s why:

When you build a great classic wardrobe full of good staple pieces, they don’t go out of style. 

That’s why they’re called classics, you can transition them from season to season year after year.  Read my Building a Classic Wardrobe post HERE.

I have pieces in my wardrobe I still wear that are 20 years old… Good quality pieces last, You can wear them year after year and I highly recommend you splurge on a few of them. This also means you don’t have to purchase them or clear them out as often

You may have noticed I have been sharing small tips on what you may want to keep and what you may want to clear out. I have a blog post coming next week on tips to help you clean out your closet. ( I might have to make this a series as well.)

Details on the outfit above:

This outfit looks and feels current. Yet the jeans are old (22-25 years old) The rise is lower, yet it’s a straight leg. Lower rise isn’t trending yet straight leg is, so they still feel current. I like the way my body looks in a lower rise, I am short-waisted so a lower rise helps create a waist on my body structure. The Straight leg keeps the jeans from feeling “dated” whereas if this low rise was a skinny jeans it would feel like a dated pair of jeans. Do you now see what makes a difference? 

Now, If you have skinny jeans you like and feel good in, what will make them look like current jeans is to have a midrise or highrise to them. Low-rise jeans aren’t “trending” and “skinny Jeans aren’t trending so those would look dated. Unless you wore a tunic or oversized sweater with tall boots. Like I did in the photo below.

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday, and I hope your weekend is off to a great start. Today, I am sharing… 3 things I’m not doing to “BE CURRENT” as a midlifer….PART 1

I wanted to bring to you things you can still do in fashion and look current at any age without having to change your whole wardrobe just by making some little tweaks and not feeling like you have to jump on board with what you are seeing currently on trend or suggested on how you clean out your wardrobe. 

I have started a series called “What I won’t be doing in 2024,” In which I share baby steps in how you can accomplish a wardrobe that will have you looking chic and feeling good at any age without breaking the bank and having to start from scratch as well as helping you find your style while building a classic wardrobe that will fit your body type.

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Today, I am sharing… 3 things I’mI’mt doing to “BE”CURRENT” a” a midlifer….PART 1

#1. I’m not throwing away ALL my skinny jeans!!!

 ⚠️You’ve seen midlife stylists throw them in the trash!!!! WHAT! ( yes, trends come and go, and some styles of jeans are more on trend in specific years… But…)

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1
Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 1

Here’s WHY: I won’t be throwing all of mine away or telling clients, too…

– Skinny jeans are genuinely the only jeans that work well with tall boots (which will be showing up big in 2024)

– Every figure is different and has different styles that flatter you.

-YOU know what you like and what YOU feel good in.

-You can Make Skinny Jeans “CURRENT” just by how you style them! (More on that later)

—They look great with Tunics and oversized sweaters. This gives the outfit balance 

-They work on my body.  My legs are one of my assets, and I try to teach my followers and clients to wear what works on your body! Accentuate your best parts.

 

How I made this look CURRENT:

If you looked through the several photos😉♥️ You’ll see I wore the same BASE = Spanx Skinny jeans & a great Amazon find =Tunic sweater.

🚨SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Great free shipping and returns, too

See how…mixing what you love with wardrobe builders and trending pieces keeps you looking “Current” without” having to replace everything in your closet.

#2. Wearing Things that don’t work on my (you’re) body! 

Here’s Why everyone’s  figure is different; we don’t have to wear EVERY trend to be “CURRENT” (more later)

-Dressing for your body type will not only help you to feel and look better, but it will also show OFF the little trends you decide to wear better! (More on picking Trends that work on your body type later)

– Being “CURRENT” can be as easy as picking a trending fabric and choosing it in a style that works for you—choosing a trending color and adding that to your accessories. It truly is in the little details, not your whole wardrobe. 

 

#3. Not Caring what people think!

Here’s Why Fashion is an expression of yourself, NOT your AGE!

– When you wear what you genuinely feel good in, you’ll project and wear it with confidence 💕

Follow along with me for more wardrobe tips:

⚠️Follow along with me in 2024 to learn how to dress for your body type, build a classic wardrobe with staple pieces & small trends that will work for you & your body, as well as how to add them into your style without breaking the bank. Sharing more on what to save on and what to splurge on..

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday! Is it me or do the weeks keep going by faster and faster? I’ve had the whole week to myself, as my guys went to Las Vegas for a Formal one-race week. I was supposed to go and decided I would really like to have time alone at home to get caught up and get things done. Although I did accomplish quite a bit, I didn’t get everything checked off my list, and a little disappointed that tie just flies by. Do you ever feel like that? Or do we just try to accomplish too much in too short of time?

What’s Happening today

Today, I decided to do a little different share for Friday, As all of the Black Friday sales are starting or starting soon, I thought it would be a good idea to combine a great gift guide that is all items on SALE. Who doesn’t want to purchase great gifts and get them on sale? A sales round-up with shopping links and discount codes to save even more was something I thought you would love.

My Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now, Some sales have already started and some are starting any day. I have shared the dates and easy links (just tap on the brand name and It will take you straight to shopping) Make sure to use the codes I’ve provided at checkout as some are stackable for more savings. Again thank you for using my links as I receive a tiny commission at no cost to you, which helps my small business. 

Below you’ll find a fun gift guide for her, of items all on sale, As well as a full Sale round-up of all the Brands I love and know you love too. Happy Sales shopping, OX

FRIDAY Top Sellers, Hostess Ideas, AND WEEKEND SALES #14

Happy Friday pretty ladies,

This week was a whirlwind Over here. Between all the sales and content creating, family life, and trying to get several of my Holiday client’s homes decorated (the first year ever that  all my clients wanted homes decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving.)

I think the trend of enjoying the season longer has really hit home for so many. It’s a lot of work and such a joyful season for most, I truly understand enjoying it for longer. 

Hope you enjoy this week’s FRIDAY Top Sellers, Hostess Ideas, AND WEEKEND SALES #14

Hostess Gift Ideas

Not hosting Thanksgiving this year and headed to a friend or family member? Here are a couple of my favorite hostess gifts to give.

-Meyers counters spray, dish soap, and hand soap with a couple of holiday dish towels (I give the winter pine IOWA scent and these dish towels) since they more than likely be decorating for the Holidays right after. 

–Beautiful Paper plates and napkins in a pretty festive vibe without stating a holiday theme. (The host could use that day for pie/desserts, but if she already had Thanksgiving paper goods) she could easily use for Christmas or New Year’s entertainment. I like these HERE and HERE

If your host serves alcohol, a nice bottle or two for wine or bubbly is nice. I also like to accompany a bottle with a Bottle chiller or champagne bucket or one of my favorite things a champagne saver/topper I love a good Prosecco but if I only want a glass, this keeps it bubbly for days.

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Where did October go? I think that was the fastest month ever. November is another crazy month that flies by and I can’t believe we are now 7 weeks away from Christmas. I am in full Christmas mode, not that I want to skip Thanksgiving, but because I love to enjoy the month of December. So, I take November to do all my Holiday prep. This way I can enjoy the season and spend time with family and friends without all the pressure that we moms have. 

I have found over the years prepping and preparing has really helped me enjoy all the things I love about the Holiday season. We can enjoy a decorated home, entertain guests with ease, have PJs & Christmas movie days in front of the fire, bake Christmas treats, Go to Holiday parties, Head to the Mall to just window shop & take in the hustle and bustle of the Holiday, and have a Holiday date night, see a Christmas program, and drive around to see Christmas lights without the ” To Do List” haunting my brain. 

 I love to cook for our friends and family and will be hosting Thanksgiving like most years, and my goal every year is to be ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving. I am off to a great start. I’ll be sharing my progress here and on Instagram stories.

Just Call me Martha With a Hack… Biscuits and Ber Just Call me Martha With a Hack…

Biscuits and Berries recipe is what “is this “Sunday’s in the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

I had heard good things about @magnoliatable  Buttermilk Biscuits,
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

What are you having for Sunday dinner?

We making. Grilled Filet mignon, scalloped potatoes, Asparagus and Baby carrots, homemade Baked Bruschetta bread, and a couple appetizers… 

Plus we’re all looking forward to our Baby Fix💙💙💙💙

Happy Sunday pretty ladies💋 D’Arcy
