Distressed Denim X Blazer

June 12, 2019

I recently went to a shopping party at a friend’s house, like the 2019 version of a tupperware party except with fancy clothes! It was super fun and I got acquainted with a new brand, Cabi! This post is in no way sponsored, I just wanted to share a fun new find with all of you!

After seeing so many of my friends pull off a blazer casually, I finally took the plunge. I have always associated blazers with more formal looks and as a result I have not worn many of the ones that I have! But thanks to some inspiration via Instagram, I am pulling them out and loving it! In the fall I shared a comfortable and stylish blazer look, and this season I pulled out this stunner from Cabi Clothing.

Layering up for the crazy air conditioning during the summer is something my daughters and I do all the time. So this year I am going to be layering up with blazers instead of the cardigans I usually reach for.

This Sleuth blazer in particular makes me feel powerful and like a total #bossbabe. My belt is also from Cabi. They have high quality products that justify the price. I have shared before that sometimes you get what you pay for and when you pay $10 for a blazer, you get a not so high quality blazer. Similarly when you pay top dollar for products, you get the perfect cut, with the perfect fabrics, and the perfect fit!

If you are like me and think that blazers are just for the office, then think again and throw on some wedges and a pair of distressed jeans and get the perfect #OOTD.

Thanks for checking out this post!

Your Chick,

SugarLips Haul

June 9, 2019

Living in a small town has really made me dependent on online brands and finds. One such online boutique that I can always turn to for the latest styles at a good price is Sugarlips. They even break their shopping into categories like Must Haves, Blogger Faves, and Spring Trends to really peak your interest.

Use code RINA15 for 15% off your purchase

Sugarlips has expanded its line and produces fashionable clothing at affordable prices. These are available all over the world and are carried by major department stores and boutiques, including Dillard’s, Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdale’s, Urban Outfitters, Hudson’s Bay, Lord and Taylor and many more. You may have come across them at one point or another.

As I prepared for my summer vacation in Chicago I added some of these cute finds to my wardrobe. With the help of a photographer friend of mine, we captured these cute shots.

So if you are in need of some closet inspo, check out Sugarlips and use code RINA15 for 15% off your purchase!

Outfit 1: Pink And Green Camisole

I love a loose fitting camisole to hide my belly and keep cool during the summer months. They are also great for layering under a blazer or cardigan!

Outfit 2: Dress with Wedge Sandals

Midi dresses are my go to staple during this time of the year. They are mom friendly and flattering. I have paired this dress with these super trendy wedge sandals by Diba True. The white platforms are everywhere, scoop these up and be on your way!

Outfit 3: Leopard Blazer

The Trenton blazer is super slimming and flattering, it has that fit that makes it easy and comfortable to wear. I have seen this worn casually with distressed jeans or dressed up with a pair of black skinny jeans like I have worn here!

I hope you loved these looks and will think about Sugarlips next time you are shopping around on the world wide web!

Your Chick,

Rina

When You Buy The Best, You Get The Best

May 16, 2019

Recently my daughters called me out on my ‘see through’ work out pants and I knew I had had enough (how embarrassing)! I was proud of my TJMaxx hauls and have shared them many times on stories, but this time I had to see for myself if I was missing out!

I am always hesitant with new brands – I never know how the product will fit me and if I will like it. With Carbon38 you really do get what you pay for. Yes, the clothes are expensive, but they are so comfortable and high quality!! A friend of mine has a code where you can save 20% on your order which helps with the cost (Code:JCHEZ20).

All in all the clothes are true to size and make you feel like a million dollars.

We have launched a Chicks And Salsa Store and are slowing adding active wear to our collection. Check it out by clicking below.

As always, thanks for being part of our journey!

Your Chick,

Say Bye To Your Belly In These Chick Approved Swimsuits

May 8, 2019

Since having kids, getting rid of the stubborn underbelly fat has driven Sonia and I crazy! We have considered all kinds of options- cool sculpting, cryo sculpting, we have written about our love of Spanx many times, and most recently, I have tried the Keto diet. Surgical solutions are out there but we have been hesitant thus far to go down that route.

So when it comes to #SummerBodies (ha!) we shop for coverups first (check out our Amazon Store to see what all we have been wearing lately). I’m serious, since having kids I do more pool side lounging and less actual swimming which means I can hide what I can’t get rid of.

Luckily, for the last few years, and thanks to our blog, Sonia and I have come out of our shell a little bit and have found some swimsuits that make us feel great in or out of the pool! These high-waisted suits hide the ‘pooch’ as we call it. So long muffin top, we are owning it now!

Shop These Suits Here

Check out our swim looks over the years. Most of these are under $40 and many are available on Amazon. So add one of these styles to your cart, you will be glad you did.
