Movin' on up...

Hi lovelies!

I have some exciting news... I am moving my blog over to WordPress. I think it will allow for more room to grow. Blogger is great, however I think I will love having WordPress much better. Don't hesitate to come back here as my old posts will still be here, not really lost in translation. (I'll have a link on my new blog to here)

I am ready to start fresh and from my research, and since I don't have too many followers here anyways, I think that this change will be good for my blog name. Remaining chic, fabulous, unconventional and fresh I will still have all the latest and greatest in my life and in the fashion world.

Au revoir, adieu...

Still Chronically Chic, my new blog can be found here: http://alexischronicallychic.wordpress.com/
Read it, share it, love it!

xx with love,
alex

Show Me Your Mumu

I love Pinterest.... There are so many women out there sharing the same interests and it's so easy to get lost in! 
I just came across a girl's pin from a website called Show Me Your Mumu. And I thought to myself "huh, what a funny name for a clothing line" But!-- Never be to quick to judge.... These two ladies have created a beautiful line of clothes from a whimsical fairytale about friendship and love. I absolutely love this!! It's so adorable, and perfect for summer, especially when we are talking about festival season! Shop their website here and find out what this fairytale is all about!

Rhapsodic Summer Fashion

During my blogging research I came across the website Fashion Traffic and I am so thrilled that I found it! They are a source for fashion bloggers to utilize for making those blogging dolla's! I signed up and I'm super excited to start using this for earnings later on down the road.

While searching about their site, looking at different online shops you can post from to your blog to earn a small portion of the cost of any skirt, dress, pants, bag, accessories, etc. on a certain website, I came across a website called ASOS. {Instant love} 

They have a tool where you can shop their entire website, other websites, and create your own look from all categories of the shopping world! AMAZING! So here is one look I created, and it is so fun to look through all of the items they have on their site. I found this picture of the woman in the white lace skirt and that became my inspiration for the whole outfit. I went with turquoise accessories and brown and pink to go with the skirt. I can picture this outfit for a summer concert (minus the heels). You can sign up and create your own looks here!

Get the look!

Coral, Floral

The weather has been so gorgeous lately! It calls for sun dresses, sandals, espadrilles and pomegranate mojitos.

I recently went to H&M in Denver and their store is beyond amazing. I found the cutest sun dress, in coral of course, with a white floral detail. So cute!

My mom knows that I've been obsessing over this color lately too. She and my dad went to Hawaii a few weeks ago and she came back with a few gifts for me! She came back with a Roxy dress with coral flowers on it, as well as a coral dress by Elan that you can wear in multiple ways, you can even wear it as a skirt. Searching online at the recent color trends of the summer, a lot of designers have been using this color on the runway too!

Vegas Baby

Summer is upon us and I am so stoked about everything happening!! My girlfriends and I are headed to Vegas in a few weeks to party with the best of them at the Electric Daisy Carnival and I could not be more excited! Number one because we are road tripping and I love summer road trips. Number two because it's Vegas and I had so much fun last year, I can't wait to make more memories this year with my favorite party girls. And number three, because I am hand making all our outfits again this year with some even cuter ideas!

I am working on sewing up some festi outfits for us and I wanted to share what I was making with all of you! And I wanted to share where some of my inspiration came from for my ideas.....

 I am using some old dresses from American Apparel and Forever21 to make some tops.

 I bought these fabrics off of Etsy from Mimis Fabric Shop


 I bought these zippers, lace and green chiffon leaves on Etsy from QFabrics Shop
 These feathers came from Zucker Feathers  
which I love because you can buy in bulk and there are so many options!!

Inspired by......

Color of the Day: Yellow

Happy Monday lovelies!!

I hope it is a wonderful Monday filled with less stress and more happiness!
Which is why I chose yellow as the color of the day.

Yellow is the color aroused by light. Yellow is sunshine, hope and happiness. It’s Monday and we all need a little bit of this color to light up our day, to give us all a little energy.

Talk about an eye catching color, especially for summer! With designers doing so much with color blocking these days, I think that any shade of yellow will add a little extra something to your outfit.

Some suggestions and inspiration....... : )

Miss Hot Legs

It's beginning to feel a lot like summer!

Flowers in your hair, lounging by the pool, hiking, biking, sun dresses, espadrilles, bright colors, picnics, frisbee, refreshing cocktails, sandals, the beach, warm summer nights, romance. Ok, ok, I am going a little overboard envisioning my summer but you get the picture.
Anyways, in a toast to everything summer, I am pulling out my short shorts and looking for new ones too! I know you are all ready to show off those hottttt legs of yours and let me tell you, you won't have to worry about not finding the perfect style for you! There are so many different styles of shorts out for the summer. High waisted, jean, color block, tie dye, studded... etc. I found some cute ones on Etsy about a month ago and ever since I saw those I have been obsessing over the high waisted jean shorts. Talk about the perfect summer wardrobe essential that goes so well with my Jeffrey Campbell love affair.


Here are some of my favorites that you just can't go wrong with!




My studded high waisted shorts from Etsy! Check out her shop JuliLand :)






Bleach Shorts on Etsy

American Apparel Corduroy

Free People Floral


NastyGal Indian Summer

NastyGal Daisy Dukes {for when your ass is feeling fabulous}





Pull out those short shorts ladies, it's about time to show off those legs of yours and strut your stuff :)

Til next time ladies! 
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday,
xx love, alex

Color Inspo

Inspiration can come from anywhere! Today I found this gorgeous photo and I am taking the pink colors from it to get dressed and also to take with me to the fabric store. I have a couple of things in mind that would be really amazing to create from this!

Today's Inspo: Pink

Audrey Kitching is constantly an inspiration, but today her hair is inspiring me to think pink. If I could pull it off I would totally rock this hair color wouldn't you?
