DARLA'S FAVORITES

Things I actually use, wear & recommend

STYLE AFTER 50: Comfortable, Confident & Put Together - Current Loves - Fall 2026

I’m all about clothes that are comfortable enough for real life but still make me feel pulled together. After changing sizes, I’ve been rebuilding my wardrobe with pieces that work for where I am now — jeans, sweaters, jackets, shoes and easy layers I’ll actually wear.

At this point in life, it needs to be comfortable, useful or make me look fabulous. Bonus points for all three.

TRAVEL FAVORITES: What Earns a Spot in My Suitcase

I love to travel, but I’m not interested in dragging half my house through an airport to do it. 😂 Over the years, I’ve figured out which things actually make traveling easier, more comfortable and a little more organized — and which ones aren’t worth the suitcase space.

These are the bags, packing essentials, travel accessories and little conveniences that have earned a spot on my trips.

If I’m going to carry it across an airport — and possibly across Europe — it better earn its place in my suitcase.

Beauty & Self-Care: The Extras I Love

At this point, my beauty routine is less about chasing younger and more about looking and feeling like the best version of myself.

These are the makeup finds, beauty tools, accessories and little self-care extras I actually use and love — the things outside of my regular hair and skincare routine that make getting ready, winding down or simply taking care of myself a little better.

I’m not trying to look 30. I’m pretty happy making 58 look good. 😉

CREATOR FAVORITES: What Helps Me Show Up Online

Creating content doesn’t require a professional studio — and trust me, I’m not interested in turning my house into one. 😂

These are the simple tools I use to create content, run my business and make showing up online easier — from phone accessories and tripods to lighting, tech and the little things that save me time.

If it makes creating easier without making technology more complicated, I’m interested.

HOME & EVERYDAY: Things That Just Make Life Better

Some of my favorite finds that don't necessarily need their own category — they’re just things I use all the time and would absolutely buy again.

This is where you’ll find the practical stuff: home finds, everyday conveniences, organization, coffee-related necessities and those random little discoveries that make you wonder why you didn’t buy them sooner.

Not everything has to change your life. Sometimes it just needs to make Tuesday a little easier. 😂
