Brights and Beauty

Meet Lauren, this adorable and vivacious “Chic Chick” is just a beam of fresh air!  With her bright floral jumpsuit and stand out red scarf this look makes sure no one will miss her in a crowded room.  I just love how bright and cheery this look is and even more so how affordable it is, the entire outfit is from Target!  She paired this floral jumper with some feminine accessories and the overall look is perfect for your spring and summer wardrobe.

Daily Affirmation:  ”I will be a sunny and bright ray of light for all to admire.”

I just love the dark nail polish with this feminine look!

Barnyard Chic

I am so thrilled to be launching a new section to my blog called “Chic Chicks” where I will be featuring some lovely ladies and their stylish outfits! I am so excited to showcase my first featured guest “Chic Chick” Heidi.  She exuberate confidence and poise, but she also knows her style niche and what fits her body type best.  Heidi noted she rather splurge on a few expensive pieces and then incorporate cheaper finds to create her overall vibe.

Daily Affirmation:  “I am open to finding beauty in all aspects of my body”

I love how effortlessly chic this outfit looks, perfect for a weekend getaway

Polka Dot Fling

 

Loving the warm weather these days in Jersey, but it sure does make choosing outfits a task.  Hot and sunny one day to cold and rainy the next.  My outfit here portrays the best of both seasons with a bold black and white color combo, pairing this with some adorable polka dot peep toe wedges.  This outfit channeled my inner 1950′s bombshell and you can almost hear the tune of “Grease Lightening” playing in the background.

Daily Affirmation:  “I am not afraid to take bold risks in fashion and in my everyday life.”

A signature piece for winters to come!

This was my must have piece for the winter, everything from the color to the silk lining inside, this jacket/cape had me at “Hello”.  Two main concerns with this coat was the hefty price tag of $258 and the fact that my good friend/co-worker is the one who introduced me to it and bought it herself!  I realized than it was not meant to be and I had to let it go.  Weeks went by and as I was doing my weekly internet window shopping I stumbled back onto Anthropologie’s website to find that the coat was marked down 50%!!!  I knew now I had to have it, after asking my friend for her approval first, since this is a signature piece! I swore I would never wear the coat around her!  I obeyed this unspoken code of womanly ethics and never looked back as I soak up all the compliments I get over it and how this magic cape transforms me into a vintage vixen.  This is a signature and classic wardrobe staple every woman needs in her closetchic~

*  Pair this cape with some pearls and long gloves!

What Goes Around Comes Around

And I am not just talking about good karma!  These days we have to be aware of everything; from what we eat to what we throw away and our daily carbon footprints we leave behind.   That’s why recycling is so important these days.  Recycling is more than throwing your plastic bottles and cans in the recycling bins, it’s about Reusing and Reducing as well, and doing so has never been so chic!

Most people look at vintage clothes as unique timeless pieces (which they are), but they are also the best way in recycling beautiful pieces that is all ready made and out in the world.  Why waste mother nature’s time and energy when you can reduce your carbon footprint with these unique, vintage and recycled pieces below!  Cheers to good karma!
