I have tried to keep up with every single thing that is going on in my life left to right, and it has been literally draining. Things at my job are stressful sometimes- mostly due to uncertainty- and at times I don't know what the future holds, but we'll see in due time I guess. This weekend we went back to Calexico, and it felt very weird to even sleep over at my mother-in-law's house after not doing so in months. It's hard to believe at times that (and I know I say this often) both Alex and I live in San Diego after it just being a sort of like a "dream". Next step? Hopefully a house and some more fun before the idea of even having kids comes to mind. For now, I leave you with this outfit. This has been one of the most casual outfits I've ever put together, and mind you, it was a quick thing- I bet you couldn't tell with the hair (ha!). What do you think?

Happy start of a new week, babes!

#IFCHIC24

I had the pleasure of working with ifchic AND shopping their amazing monthly event, #ifchic24, which happens to be a 24-hour event that occurs on every 24th of the month. (Kind of made you think there, huh?) Wanna know how it works? Check it out below and prepare to be blown away! 

When you visit ifchic.com, a small pop up appears and asks you if you'd like to sign in or register so that you're able to collect "ifchic coins". Ifchic coins are coins you can collect everytime you log onto the website. One ifchic coins equals one dollar, and you have to basically play a little bit of a scavenger hunt in order to find them. They're located on different pages of the site and you simply click on the coins to collect them. Suuuuuuper easy, right?! You can earn as much as $6 per day, and up to $180 on your entire purchase when the #ifchic24 events come around! How cool is that? You would have to make sure to spend all of your coins on that certain day, since the coins don't roll over into the next month. But still. Do you know of any retailer that sells uber-chic designer items with this kind of strategy? I think it's pure genius! 

Oh, I also need to mention that the website has a very unique layout, yet is extremely user-friendly for even the most technologically challenged of gals! It was also very easy collecting coins and shopping around on the day of the event! My order was submitted and within about a week, I received it- pretty packaging and all! I especially love that the items arrived in a dust bag, which I was thrown off by. I felt that the company took their time to wrap my pieces carefully and with so much care- I would definitely recommend checking it out! AND don't forget to mark your calendars for April 24th! Let me know what you think of the website!
