Chicnova Clothing

Hi loves, Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far.  My week hasn’t been too bad, mainly because of the gorgeous weather we are finally seeing!

I am excited to share with you an awesome site with amazing prices and deals called Chicnovaicon!  I was shocked when I saw how great their prices are! I did some research because prices this great usually mean they are coming in from overseas and I was right.  I read a bunch of reviews and most of what I read was positive.  Shipping taking a bit longer was the biggest negative comment I read but other then that the site seams pretty legit.  I have not yet placed an order with them but plan to do so and will give a review after.

I thought I would share what I have in my cart.  I have been trying to slowly purchase new items for our fun Euro trip coming up in July.  Here are some things I just couldn’t live without!

I just love dresses in the summer months and I think all of these are super cute and versatile.  When you travel for a long period of time you want to make sure you bring things that you can wear a few times without looking like your wearing the same outfit over and over LOL.  I just love that skirt because it can be worn so many different ways and look different each time.

Have a great rest of the week!

Beach getaway outfits

Hi all!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  I thought a post about a beach was needed since this “spring” has been rather cold here in NY lately.  I mean it snowed the other day…and they are calling for possible snow again this Saturday?! Ugh, I just need to dream of beaches to get me through this haha.

Well my hubby and I officially booked our summer vaca!! We are going to Denmark (to visit family) and since we are able to go for 3 weeks we decided to wrap in Italy and Iceland to the trip (I am so pumped!).  So we will do some swimming and beach days while in Copenhagen but we are going to Rome and Amalfi Coast in Italy (beach attire all day!) so I thought this post would be perfect.  I need to find some super cute outfits for the beach, day as well as nights out on the town and love all of these options.

Here are some items I came up with. Enjoy!

Spring time looks

Hiya dolls!! TGIF!  So my posts seem to keep happening only once a week which is just not cool.  I plan on changing that over this weekend with some fun things I have coming up to blog about!  I hope everyone made it through the week so they can enjoy the weekend!  I am going home this weekend to visit my family for my dads 60th birthday, I am so excited to see everyone.  It sucks living away from family, luckily mine is only a 5 hour drive away and not a plane ride away, but still, its tough.

So I thought I would help start your weekends off right with some fun spring deals I came across.  Even though it is supposed to SNOW this weekend where I am going I am still dreaming of spring time!

 

For Love & Lemons Santa Rosa Maxi Dress in Vintage Blue Floral

I am so in love with this boho look!

I love a nice light scarf in the spring to add to outfits

I think these wedges would look so cute with any dress/jeans this spring and summer!

 

The gold, white face, is just so simple and springy to me, and its on sale here!

 

I just love the boho vibe of Free People and when I find items I love on sale its a win, win.  Like this super cute blouse!

RE/DONE Repaired & Destroyed Skinny Jeans - Skinny - Barneys.com

Nothing like a skinny white jean/semi distressed to wear this spring and summer-LOVE these!

They also come in tan and yellow and are on SALE! These with the white jeans…so need these!

Nordstrom Sale!

Happy hump day friends!! I hope everyone had a nice long weekend, I sure did.  I actually had a fun trip to Cleveland to visit my sister! It was so great spending time with her, I hate how far away she lives from me 😦 . I will put up a post from all the fun things we did and saw in Cleveland later in the week.  Today I wanted to share an awesome sale I came across from Nordstrom!  They are offering up to 40% off on their Winter Clearance items!  I thought it would be fun to feature some gorgeous dresses.  Spring is around the corner and wedding season begins (most of ours fall later in the year but still fun to start planning).  I picked out some dresses that I thought would be perfect for all different types of weddings.  Black tie to cocktail dresses and that perfect “little black dress”. Enjoy!

Spring is in the air, well sort of..

Hi lovies!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week thus far, Happy hump day!  I don’t know about you guys but I am itching for spring time.  I just LOVE when all the snow starts to melt (here in NY we have been having record breaking NICE weather-so not normal, but hey I’ll take it) and the birdies are out and chirping in the mornings, the plants start to bloom and you get to start wearing less and less layers.

Well, for some reason, I have been having spring fever and scouting out cute new outfits for the spring that (fingers crossed) is right around the corner.  Thought I would share some of my latest obsessions that are also on sale!

Who doesn’t love a good wedding?!

I just love weddings. Nothing is more special then the love that two people have for each other.  I get so excited to see how each couple decides to celebrate.  I have been to and been a bridesmaid in a number of weddings and each one is always so different and unique.  Being married just a year this past August, I really grew to appreciate the entire wedding processes since I have been through it all myself.  The wedding I attended this past weekend was for a childhood friend.  She looked absolutely STUNNING.  Her dress was just so perfect for her frame, she looked like a princess.  The band was wonderful, decor was so pretty.  I think her dream day turned out just as she planned.

I was not in this wedding but decided to wear a long dress since it was a black tie optional wedding.  I actually got this dress last year to wear as my bridesmaid dress in my best friend Lauren’s wedding.  Lauren let us all pick out our own long grey (any shade of grey) dress and it worked out soo well!  I loved the dress so much that I figured I might as well get one more use out of it.  It is so flattering and comfortable.  I was getting compliments all night on it.  I cannot remember the designer but I got it at Lord & Taylor and it wasn’t that expensive.  Here are the only pictures I got from the night (I can be so bad at remembering to take pictures!).

So this is definitely one of my favorite outfits that I have ever worn to a wedding.  What is your favorite outfit you have worn to a wedding or special event?

 

Until next time.
