In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

Hello pretty ladies. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I headed to the Nordstrom sale with my sweet friend Cammi, From Cammi’s Happy Place. We had fun shopping at the sale, doing try-ons, and having dinner at the Nordstrom grill. Have you eaten at a Nordstrom grill inside of Nordstrom? The food is always so yummy, and they give you refilled drinks in to-go cups, which is always a plus in my book. 

As you know, I love to share wardrobe builders and great classic pieces from the sale with just a couple of cute and fun trendy pieces. This is a great time to pick up some of the premium denim and more design pieces at a great price, as they usually don’t go on sale any other time of the year. 

I searched the racks for items that would make for great basics and pieces you’ll wear on repeat all season long and for years to come. That is still in stock in both stores and online. Many Premium denim sells out fast, but I found some great pairs still in stock in all sizes and great fitting. Nordstrom does restock often throughout the sale, so it is worth checking back often if you have your eye on something that is sold out. 

Below is 4 outfits I created with all In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale.

6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Wednesday and the last week of June. Can you believe how fast June went by? I know I had two trips in June, but wow, it flew by; even my hubby said, “How did this month fly by?” I will be recapping both trips, what I wore, and my favorites from the trips. Honestly, I am a little behind and trying to catch up! I haven’t done several things on my Summer to-do list, and I have to get with it! 

A couple of the BIG things on my list to do: Get my office/studio/closet finished and paint several pieces of furniture (hubby said he’d help me on Monday.)  Finish cleaning out the playroom; yes, our kids are grown! LOL…Clean out a ton of clothes and donate some and put some on consignment. I also want to redo 2 of our guest rooms.

Besides, enjoying summer and still getting my regular work done. I might have put too much on my plate. Have you ever had high hopes for what you could accomplish? Let me know in the comments below if you have tips for getting it all done! Meanwhile, I’ll keep you posted on the blog and Instagram stories. 

Introduction to Brindle Boutique

Today, I am sharing 6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique you’ll wear all summer long, and some can take you into Fall: two Dresses, A short set, cropped jeans, black joggers, and a blazer. You know I love to support small businesses, as well as women-owned businesses, and Brindle Boutique is both. I was happy to partner with them and become an ambassador as well. Cute clothing, good quality, and reasonable prices. 

 

Shop with a discount.

This means I also have a 25% discount to share with you. Use code DARCY for 25% off. Just use it at checkout. Also, sharing direct links as well, for easy shopping. I know you will fall in love with this small business as I have.

The pieces I choose

Flower print one-shoulder dress– Such a darling summer dress; the one-shoulder style is a fun look for summer and adds a little sexy to the fun floral print. It fits true to size. I am in medium, wearing the large red floral print; this dress comes in 5 colorways and prints. You could style this causal for vacation or dress it up for a garden wedding.

6 Summer Pieces From Brindle Boutique

Black shirt dress– A great shirt dress with a little puff sleeve and v-neck. Fully lined and comes in two colors. Style it casually with flat sandals and simple accessories, or dress it up for cocktails or date night with heels and fancier accessories. I am wearing black in a medium style for church and brunch with my hubby.

White gauze short set-Nothing easier to wear than a Gauze short set. Breathable, comfortable, yet stylish, and also easy to pack. Style it in so many ways. This set comes in 6 colors and fits true to size. I am wearing a medium set.

Judy Blue Dad Jeans– These jeans will be one of your go-to pairs of jeans all summer long into fall. With so many ways to style from casual to business casual, you’ll wear on repeat as I have been. I am in size 5 ( I usually wear a 6 ). Shop the jeans HERE.

Blazer– This look is polished and professional and would look great worn casually with jeans or worn at work with a trouser. A slim-fit blazer comes in 4 colors and fits true to size. I wore it with a graphic tee and the joggers below and also wore it with the cropped dad jeans. And graphic tee above. As another option would be to wear it with a pencil skirt or slacks for work wear. Shop HERE

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

Hello pretty ladies,

How’s your week going? Mine has been a little crazy with getting back from one trip and heading out on another tomorrow. I also had a health scare, but God is good, and it’s not as severe. I still have some big decisions to make, but it is not life-threatening, which I am so grateful for. I’ll share more in the upcoming weeks. But for now, I am feeling very blessed and thankful. 

Those of you who read my blog or have followed me on social for a while know I love to read and share a seasonal book list of what I’ll be reading that season. Today, I can finally share my summer reading list as all the books have arrived. (The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey) is hot off the press on June 16th.

I hope you’ll join me in reading a few of my picks or maybe read all of them with me. I will be sharing stories about them on Instagram, and as I finish each book, I’ll have a little live chat on Instagram. So, if you join me, tune in for more engagement and conversation. In case you missed it last week, I announced the first book I am reading is On Gin Lane. 

6 Books I Am Reading This Summer

 

 

Lucky

 by: Marissa Staply

What if you had the winning lottery ticket but couldn’t turn it in? This is a quick and fun read. The reviews say it was one of the most entertaining novels they’ve read in a long time. A fun rollercoaster!

 

 

The Lake 

by: Natasha Preston

A mystery takes place at a summer camp, with two characters that did something terrible as young campers are now back as camp councilors, and someone knows what they did. The secret they’ve kept all these years is about to resurface.

 

On Gin Lane 

by: Brook Lea Foster 

Historical fiction set in the Hamptons in the 1950s with socialite characters, this is a great summer beach read. 

 

Wrong place, wrong Time 

by: Gillian Mc Allister

Bestselling author Gillian McAllister comes to an astonishing, compulsively twisty psychological thriller about a mother who witnesses her teenage son stab a man and then seizes on an unconventional way to try to save him, deemed “clever, original, and so addictive it should come with a warning” by Alice Feeney,

 

Romantic Comedy 

By: Curtis Sittenfeld

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A comedy writer thinks it’s Time’s and sworn off love until a dreamy pop star flips the script on all her assumptions—a “smart, sophisticated, and fun.” 

The Summer of Song Birds

By: Kristy Woodson Harvey

Four women come together to save the summer camp that changed their lives and rediscover themselves in the process 

3 of these are on Reese’s book club:

-Romantic Comedy 

-Wrong Place, Wrong Time

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy June! I hope your Memorial weekend was just what you needed it to be. We had a great family weekend, good food, and got some things done around the house. I love that it’s the unofficial kick-off to Summer, and I am ready for it. How about you?

I leave with my good friends tomorrow on a business/Girls’ trip. In celebration of that, this week, I have had a Vacation series, sharing packing tips, vacation outfit ideas, swimsuits & cover-ups, and things you need on a trip. Sharing over on Instagram, in stories, On Like to know it, and on the blog.  Today on the blog, I am sharing 12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Items to help you pack with ease and stay organized. These are all items I own and use every time I travel. If you know me or follow me, you know I love to travel/adventure.

I try to go somewhere once a month, even if it’s just a staycation. So I have tried out several organizations’ items and found these are the Best ones for me, and I think you’ll love them too.

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

 

12 Travel Essentials 

1.  Cloth Jewelry zip organizer has clear pockets inside, plenty of hooks, and different sizes to hold your jewelry. I love that you can see everything; it is pretty flat, like a book.

2. Cord organizer I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand all my chargers and cords in a mess. This keeps them tidy.

3. Packing cubes and shoe bags are a must to stay organized and help you pack more without the mess. 💯 a must-have!

4.  Travel bottles with case TSA approved and great to take your favorite toiletries (Comes in several color options)

5. Belt bag by Lululemon is a must-have for hands-free and easy access to your items. Great for Airport, walking, and heading out sightseeing 

6.  Travel flat spray hand sanitizer Smells excellent and is so easy to carry

7.  Stanley 40oz Tumbler with handle easily fits all cup holders and keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. 

8. Compact Mirror with light and magnifying mirror. $8.99-12.99 It is flat and packs well. Identical to the mirror that advertises for $40 

9. 3 in 1 charger folds up compact and is great if you have many items that need to be charged.

10. Kusshi Makeup organizer The only makeup bag you’ll ever need!! It unzips all the way yet has a flat bottom to remain standing. You can see everything verse digging.  Washable and come in several sizes and colors. I love the customization organizer snap-in pouches! For brunches, pockets, etc.

11. Silicone makeup brush holder! Affordable and easy to use

12. Pill case organizers for pills and supplements. Compartments to keep tablets separated snap closer. I know you will love all of these items.

(I have all these and shared them on a reel in my feed and story highlights.

-Casual- Everyday-Workwear and -Travel
-Color- Neutrals and Print

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
