Quote of the Day!

Hey Loves!

It's been a little while since my last post, I know, but I wanted to kick the week off right by providing you all with a little Monday motivation.

This week is all about walking the talk, meaning do what you say you're going to do and do it well.

This motivated me to become more active in my community. I wanted to find ways to give to those less fortunate than myself because i've always believed that to receive abundantly, one must give abundantly. So this past weekend, I had the pleasure of helping a local charity give school supplies to less fortunate children in my community. I am an avid shopper so any reason to go shopping, no matter what cause, was an exciting feat for me. With the help of some friends and family, we were able to give hundreds of supplies to the charity and plan to give even more this week. The best part is that we're having fun doing it.

So how will YOU walk the talk this week?

Get up, get out and make a difference in someone else's life this week and I promise it'll make an even greater difference in your own life. Giving is Chic!

So Stay Chic Divas!

Feeling Retro

Hey Loves!

I love the 90's!!! And lately, if you follow me on Instagram, you'll notice that I've been rocking a lot of crop tops. Now I don't have the most toned abs or anything, but in this summertime heat, the best way to brave it is by having on light, breathable clothing. So a cute, comfortable crop top with a swing skirt or maxi is definitely my go-to look for summer. I pulled together a look below with the Mara Hoffman Bustier that is perfect for daytime brunch or an early dinner because it's effortless chic. This particular bustier is a little pricey, however, some really cute and inexpensive ones can be found at Forever 21 or Loveculture.

Here's some really affordable cute ones here and here.

Mara Hoffman bustier shirt / Navy skirt, $18 / GUESS ? / Chloé mini shoulder bag / Gold chain bracelet

I know this trend isn't for everybody, but what do you think? Would you rock it?

Top 10 Best Summer Sandals Guide

Hey Loves!

Summer is all about having practical footwear and nothing is more practical than a go-to sandal. It is a Spring/Summer must-have and a closet staple if you're thinking beach, fun and sun, like me. I put together a short list of my favorite pairs of sandals at various price points that will definitely add some chic to any outfit this Summer, whether it be a maxi dress, shorts or a fun & flirty sun-dress. Peep my picks below:

1.) Yves Saint Laurent black leather sandals $695

2.) GUESS t strap flat sandals $40

3.) J.Crew strap sandals $118

 4.) Nine West flat leather sandals $69

5.) Tory Burch strappy shoes $200

6.) GUESS gladiator sandals $34

7.) Belle by Sigerson Morrison bohemian sandals $123

8.) Paprika Rhinestone Cutout Ankle wrap flat sandals $25

9.) Timeless shoes, $34

10.) Dorothy Perkins roman sandals $35

My favorite happen to be the black, of course. I tend to stick to neutral sandals for summer because they are the most versatile and I can quickly put them on without having to change my entire outfit to coordinate them with. However, metallics and neon-colored shoes are also great to elevate any look and stay on trend. Don't forget that if you want to shop any of these styles, the links are above.

Which sandal is your favorite? 

Happy shopping and stay chic this summer!

Fashionably yours,
