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!

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:

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!

Hey Ya’ll…after a little hiatus from blogging over the holidays, I finally got my life together and I’m back! If you have been following me over the last few months (on Instagram) then you understand my love for holidays. I literally just took down my Christmas decorations (don’t judge me!).
So I wanted to bring you all my Cupid’s Corner where all of my blog posts will be filled with Valentine’s Day inspirations. Think fashion, gift ideas, date night options and more!
With that being said, here is my first Valentine’s Day post with this amazing day to night look. This floral print is fun and flirty. Just because it is Valentine’s Day, doesn’t mean you have to stick to a red or black look. I wanted to mix it up a little, and I loved the fit of this dress as well. Get it HERE for under $100.
