Maxi Dressy

Friday, May 30, 2014 • , , , , , , , , , ,

Dress- Tildon ( sold out, similar here and here ) | Shoes- Zara ( old, similar here and here  ) | Necklace- Ayana Designs c/o | Bag- Rebecca Minkoff (similar here) | 

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I am sharing a look that is definitely a favorite of mine. I absolutely loved wearing this dress- the color and cut is perfect for spring and summer!  The perfect finishing touch was definitely this gorgeous necklace. Since the dress is a solid color, and it really needed a pop in the accessories. I love the design of the necklace because it has a modern tribal feel that compliments the flowy tiered dress. 

If you haven't checked out the Ayana Designs collection- you have to! The pieces are gorgeous and have a refreshing design- they all have a modern, edgy feel that is really perfect for spring/summer !  














 Hope you like it! Love it!

    Romper weekend

    Saturday, May 24, 2014 • , , , , , , , , , , ,


    Romper- Forever21 ( sold out online, similar here , love this one) | Sandals- Zigi Girl (similar on sale here) | Bag- Rebecca Minkoff ( similar here) | Necklace- Windsor c/o | 


    Lately I have been gravitating toward the all white with tall black gladiator sandal combo ( it makes me think of summer and I am itching for the 'fun in the sun' season) ! Fair warning these sandals are my fave and I WILL be spamming your feed with them #sorrynotsorry. 

    I wore this same outfit last weekend to Palm Springs ( seen here in this dino pic). However, I felt it need to share it on the blog. I particularly love rompers because they are SO effortless. You don't have to worry about a coordinating separates- they are 'ready to go' , 'just throw it on' instant outfits. They definitely must be part of your summer wardrobe!


    A three day weekend is upon us ! (dun dun dun <dramatic tone music>) 

    ...which means extra time to BBQ , hit the beach, and score on some Memorial day Sales of course ; ) 

    However you choose to spend weekend make sure to stop . breath . and enjoy. 

    Happy Weekend!! 






















    Hope you like it! Love it!

    I love a great sale because it is the perfect time to snag new pieces at great prices! I like to shop for pieces that are closet staples- pieces I know I will wear over and over again. The first thing I am drawn to is shoes and bags ( the money saved is just too good to pass up). Below I am sharing some of my favorite items - some that I have been eyeing all season! TGIF indeed!

    Happy Shopping !

    Your New Favorite Tote

    Thursday, May 22, 2014 • , , , , ,

    Hey guys! Today I have the pleasure to spread to the word about this beautiful tote!  I wanted to share a little about a gorgeous new tote that was recently launched by DAAME. The bag is absolutely beautiful AND best of all it has different compartments to keep you organized- Your stuff will never be lost again!

    This tote is completely work friendly and crafted specifically for women that want to keep things organized. It is definitely about time a bag was created to be beautiful and functional. They hand craft their bags in L.A. with Italian leather to achieve a one of kind bag. #daamechanger 

    Beyond the functionality of the bag, the best thing ( and what caught my attention) is that they give 5% to go toward providing long-term services and education for girls in need. I really love their philosophy " We are a life-loving group with a radical notion that we could shift the life trajectory of a girl in need... We believe in investing in a girl, we can not only improve the quality of her life but the society at large." Read more about their cause here. 

    When I first started my blog, I had the intention of sharing my personal style and great products out there that I particularly loved. It is especially meaningful when I get to share products that have purposeful/important  values. In todays society it is hard to find companies that care about others. However, some companies do give back.

     Education is something many us take for granted. And I am not referring to a Bachelor's Degree but to literacy. 
    DAAME is " excited to launch their product with Outliers International , which is dedicated to providing safety and education for girls in the village of Minawar, Pakistan where the literacy rate for women is as low as 12%."  


    As a woman, I think it is extremely important that we try to help each other out. Help spread the word- sign up for the newsletter here. Sign up and enjoy your members only gift! 




    Below is a little idea on how to wear the tote. Personally, I think it is wearable with just about anything. The simple but ultra chic design is perfect for everyday. 



    Above outfit details: Shirt // Sunnies // Bag // Necklace // Sandals // Jeans //

    You never know who you many help!... While staying organized and looking ultra chic!

    Legging Legs

    Tuesday, May 20, 2014 • , , , , , , , , , ,


     Top- via Nordstrom Rack | Leggings- White Plum c/o ( use code: chocolatechip20 for 20% off ) | Cardigan- TJMaxx ( similar here; love this  ) | Sandals- Report Signature ( Sold for less here ; love these and these) | Bag- Rebecca Minkoff (similar here ) | Watch- Michael Kors (similar here) | Necklace- Benevolent Jewels | 


    I finally found the perfect leggings! WORLDS SOFTEST LEGGINGS (not exaggerating, not even a little bit! ). Once I felt the material I was in complete shock- I was so confused on what I was feeling. Other leggings I have had feel too spandex-y and feel sticky on my skin (especially when its hot -ughh)... OR on the other hand I have had some that are cotton but are too thin and feel flimsy. These are seriously the best pair I have ever come across. I have made everyone touch them because I am so amazed. The material is very comfortable and not to mention this ultra cute floral print- perfect for summer ! I decided to pair them with a basic white top and a extra long cardigan ( another new favorite of mine!). I really love the pairing of leggings with a long cardigans because they seem to slim the body and add extra movement to the outfit. 


    Make sure to go and check out the amazing selection White Plum has to offer on their ultra soft leggings. They have many patterns , you are bound to fall in love with more than one (I am eyeing this one for the fourth of July). White Plum was kind enough to offer a discount to my readers! So stock up and remember to use the code CHOCOLATECHIP20 at checkout to save 20% on your entire purchase- But you have to hurry the discount is only until June 1st!

     Top- old ( similar idea here and here ) | Jeans- Joe's Jeans | Heels- Zara ( old, similar here ; love these) | Necklace - T+J Designs c/o | Watch- Michael Kors (old, similar here ) | Clutch- Rebecca Minkoff (similar on sale here )

    Hi everyone, I am currently trying to survive the heat wave (no joke- feels much like mid summer already). We are visiting Palm Springs for a couple days , trying to relax and get away. I am realizing that girl can never have too many sunnies and bikinis. Those are really going to come in handy to survive the upcoming summer days.

    Today, I am sharing an outfit featuring my new favorite accessory- this stunning necklace. Can we please take a second to talk about how gorgeous this necklace is?! I fell in love instantly and knew I would wear it constantly this summer. I love the pastel colors and all the sparkle! It is perfect to wear with a simple Tee or fun summer dress ( yes, I am planning endless outfits with it :)). I love a great accessory because it makes getting dressed extra special- don't you think?!

    Make sure to check out all the amazing pieces T+J Designs has to offer. (I seriously have gotten tons of compliments on this necklace already)

    Have a wonderful weekend! 














    Hope you like it! Love it!
