I may or may not have just realized that Labor Day is in less than a week. Life around here has been a little crazy lately and I’m trying to keep it all together. I also may or may not like to do a little retail therapy when I’m stressed out. Even though I have absolutely no plans for Labor Day, I started looking at white outfit inspirations for all you amazing people, all for under $100. I stumbled upon ASOS, who happens to have some major discounts on white dresses at the moment. I rounded up my top picks below that are perfect for that pool party, BBQ or get together you have planned this weekend. Happy Shopping! XOXO

Hey Ya’ll the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is about to commence with early access starting tomorrow. Here is an ultimate guide on the sale so you won’t miss a thing. I will be making the Chic Mamas into a one, stop-shop for you all during the sale, so you won’t miss a thing.
THINGS TO KNOW:
If you are a Nordstrom Card Holder, you can start shopping the sale during the Early Access period which starts tomorrow, July 14th. The first week of the sale is open to Nordstrom Card Holders ONLY. If you are not a Nordstrom Card Holder, mark your calendar for Friday, July 22nd, this is when the sale is then open to the public.
This sale is amazing to help add pieces to your fall wardrobe at great prices. I recently cleaned out my closet to see what I would like to add or needed to buy during the sale. I divided my list into categories to help keep me on track and organized. I find it helpful, as there are so many items listed in the sale, and it will keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
I hope this helps you get ready to shop till you drop (even from your computer if you can’t make it to the store!). Remember to be on the lookout for some amazing roundups from me such as lists of deals including the best finds under $50, $100 and more! I can’t wait to share it with you all!

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! Also see Nordstrom’s amazing dresses all for under $100 HERE!
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!!

Modern day moms are always on the go. I know for me time is of the essence and I am always looking for easy, life hacks. I mean let’s be honest, I have used things like baby wipes to clean my refrigerator, and even to take off my make up at night. If it’s convenient, you had me at Hello. I can see why many moms may end up stealing baby’s skincare products, and then falling in love with them. What’s not to like? These products are made to be super gentle and soothing for babies, and they do just that for adults as well. I recently tried Skinfix products on Willow and found that I’m just as obsessed with them for me!
See below for a few of my favorite tricks I use with my Skinfix products:
Gentle Hair & Body Wash doubles as Makeup Brush Cleanser: Throw a bit of this wash into a cup of water to give your makeup brushes a little cleaning. Gentle enough to keep bristles soft, while effectively removing dirt, leaving them feeling good as new.
Diaper Rash Balm doubles as Miracle Balm: Cure unwanted redness and aid in the healing of cuts, burns and bug bites. This luxe hydrating formula will soothe your skin with the addition of jojoba oil, sunflower oil and beeswax.
Gentle Moisturizing Lotion doubles as Go-To Cream: With added aloe and coconut oil, it is the perfect after sun or shower lotion for you, too! The lightweight formula that Baby loves is great for everyday use, especially for those with sensitive skin or allergy-prone.
I have teamed up with Skinfix to give one lucky reader of mine a bundle of their amazing products including their wash, lotion and two balms! Rules to enter are easy:

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.
