Dress| Hat | Shoes (seriously my summer favorites that go with everything!)
Does anyone else think the summer is just flying by? I can’t believe the 4th of July came and went already. Lately with the temperatures creeping up, easy summer dresses have been on repeat in my wardrobe, like this ONE, that comes in multiple colors and is only $25! They are simple, and they effortlessly transition from day to night. I rounded up some of my favorites for you guys that are all reasonably priced under $100! Also see Nordstrom’s amazing dresses all for under $100 HERE!

As most of you know by now I have a serious love for all things fashion, especially a good bag. I found that once I became a Mama I wanted to find a stylish, yet functional bag that made my outfit feel put together, but was practical for everything I needed for my daughter. I wasn’t looking for the traditional diaper bag, I wanted something fun, that fit my personal style. I stumbled upon Rebekah Scott Design’s, and fell in love with the fact that you can design and customize your own bag! In three easy steps you can create the bag of your dreams. The process is user friendly and took me about 10 minutes to choose my style, fabric and leather!
I chose the Jillstyle as you can wear it three different ways, over the arm, over the shoulder or cross body style. It has exterior pockets, as well as pockets that also line the inside of the bag. All of these features were music to my ears…the option to go hands free and keep everything organized in my bag…you had me at hello!! I mean let’s be honest, I usually carry my wallet, phone and some kind of lipstick for myself, and then I carry snacks, crayons, dinosaurs, smalls books and even a can of Play-Doh for Willow in my bag. So this bag had my name written all over it!
I went with the “brushed feathers” for my fabric choice, and also designed a wallet as well in the “collar ends” pattern. I loved the satisfaction of wearing my bag knowing that I had a hand in crafting it. It turned out beautifully and I have received so many compliments since wearing it. I feel like it is my own personal work of art, that expresses my personal style and taste. So if you are looking for the perfect bag, why not design it yourself? Here comes the best part…Rebekah Scott Design’s is giving my readers and followers $10 off any purchase over $75 with promo code: ChicMamas for the next week! Enjoy and let me know what style you choose in the comments below!!

With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, and summer just around the corner it’s the perfect time to stock up on some cute, and budget friendly tops. I found THIS lace top at Target for only $27.99! Also stay tuned for a holiday sale roundup happening at the end of this week.
As Mothers, we don’t often get time off to spend just on ourselves. We wear many hats and do so much in our home, at our jobs, for our families and friends. I know I am always going a mile a minute, and usually put myself last on the list of importance. Yet I clearly see a huge difference in my disposition when I take that extra time to go to the gym, meet my girlfriends for dinner or go shopping alone (I mean I even see a trip to the grocery store alone as a glorious vacation sometimes!). Giving myself a little extra love really does put a smile on my face, and just makes me feel… well like me! I notice that I’m more positive and this translates into my actions of every day life!
So I spent a little day off at the Fisherman’s Village in Marina Del Rey. I love going there as it is a one stop shop for a relaxing afternoon. I had coffee and ice cream, watched the boats roll by, and did a little shopping. All by myself, and in these cute, multicolored Crocs sandals. They remind of the jelly sandals I used to wear as a kid and they are unbelievably comfortable.
Every Mom deserves a day off! So I have partnered with Crocs to help give some lovely Moms just that with their #MomsDayOffContest. All you have to do is:
Post a picture of what you would do on your “Mom’s day off” on any social media platform with the captioned hashtag #MomsDayOffContest to enter.
All entrants must follow Crocs on social media to be in chance of winning.
Overall there will be ten first place winners who will receive $50 voucher for Crocs and $100 cash, as well as fifty runners up who will receive $50 vouchers for Crocs.
Find the Mom’s Day Off Contest Official Rules Here.
The Contest will end on May 6, 2016 at 11:59:59 p.m. EST
This is such an easy and simple contest to enter. I encourage all of you Chic Mamas to enter, and take some time to pamper yourself. You most definitely deserve it!

Spring’s most playful fashion trend has got to be the adorable pom-pom trim found everywhere from rompers, to heels, hats, bags and jackets. These cute, fluffy puffs are the perfect touch to complete any outfit. I constantly get compliments when I add something with pom-pom’s to my outfit. Here are 5 easy ways to add pom-poms to your wardrobe:
Hats:
Pom-pom beanie hats, like THISwere all the rage this winter. Hopefully beanies are slowly transitioning out of your wardrobe, and you are experiencing warmer weather. In that case sunny days and vacations are on the horizon. Stay in style with these pom-pom adorned hats.
2. Dresses, Rompers and More:
This is one of my favorite looks for spring and summer. The pom-pom trim adds a punch when paired with any piece of clothing. Whether you’re on vacation or just going for a casual day look, pom-poms will spice up any outfit.
3. Shoes:
Pom-pom shoes…need I say more. THIS pair is currently on my Wishlist! Pair pom-pom adorned heels or flats with any neutral outfit, and let your feet do the talking! You will most certainly be leaving your girlfriends with a serious case of shoe envy.
4. Bags
Want to stick to a more subtle pom-pom accessory? Skip the statement jewelry and try bags adorned with these little cuties. If even that is too much out of your comfort zone, then grab a POM-POM CLIP to add on to your bag or keys.
5. Jewelry
I adore a great statement earring or necklace. They can really make or break any outfit. The pom-pom trend keeps going strong in the accessories department as well! Add a little flare to your outfit with these trendy items.
If there was ever a reason to shop atNordstroms, it’s for their continued mark downs on top brands. They price match, have free shipping and are offering up to 40% OFF on some amazing items (like this Floral Dress pictured above)!

Spring is just around the corner, on March 20th to be exact. The problem is our weather has yet to figure out what it wants to be. One day it’s 90 degrees and the next day it’s freezing with crazy wind. Weird weather makes for confusing wardrobe choices at times. After mulling over my closet, I finally paired this lightweight midi skirt, with this soft, cropped knit shirt. I loved the end result, and was super comfortable for the day. Cropped sweaters, like this one, are great transition pieces. Remember…layers are your friend. Happy Monday!
