I’m so excited to to announce this to you! If you already follow Chicos, SOMA Intimates, and/or White House Black Market, you may already know that the company has partnered with Habitat for Humanity. If not, you will love this!

Chico’s FAS and Habitat for Humanity have empowered women to build strength, stability, and independence through housing. Their amazing partnership has allowed Chico’s to make a difference through financial support and volunteer hours. Since 2001, Chico’s FAS has partnered with Habitat for Humanity in Southwest Florida where they are headquartered.

Chico’s has provided countless volunteer hours and financial support to build 41 homes which have helped families in the Southwest Florida region. For 2018, Chico’s is sponsoring Habitat’s 2018 Women Build program and the company will empower 40,000 women nationally to learn construction and leadership skills while aiding other women with decent, affordable housing. Love this! Through shelter, they empower!

Now the fun part, you can help! Now through May 31, 2018, you can help by making a donation to Habitat at Chico’s, White House Black Market, and SOMA Intimates boutiques nationwide. You can also contribute online at ChicoFAS-cares.com. In addition, a portion of sales from certain products will also benefit Habitat. Love it!

Here are some fun facts:

  • Habitat has helped 3.2 million people since 1976
  • Habitat is the #3 private home builder in the U.S.
  • In a stable home, children are 116% more likely to graduate from college.
  • The stability and security of home-ownership allows families to pursue careers, further their education, and watch their children thrive.

Wide leg floral pants for summer

how to wear floral pants summer wide leg floral pantsmedium chloe nilecasual floral pants summer 2018

wearing: rose gold dangle earrings / lipstick / black twist tee / Chanel nail polish / Chloe Nile / wide leg floral pants (wearing petite) regular online here / black wedge espadrilles (under $100!)

I’m always looking for comfortable pants to wear in the summer months. I love pants which are soft, flowy, and will keep me cool when temperatures soar. These wide leg floral pants are perfect for summer because they are thin enough to not be hot, yet thick enough to drape correctly, and wear well throughout the season after being washed and worn multiple times.

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we get fog overnight often during the summer months. This means the early morning, and early evening, can be quite cool. While we enjoy our natural air conditioning, temperatures can soar into the 90’s during the day. Summer pants are perfect for this weather pattern since they are thin enough to wear all day long, and cut the chill when the fog rolls in. Plus, they feel like pajamas! Love that!

Wide leg floral pants are so versatile during the summer months. They can be dressed up with high heel sandals, or dressed down with flat espadrilles. I tend to wear them with either flat espadrilles, or wedges. The more comfort I can pair together, the better! haha

Everyday spring style

how to wear a flower pot pursestaud handbagscasual spring outfits

wearing: red tassel earrings / lipstick / stripe tee / spring nail polish / side stripe jeans / red flower pot bag / black leather and rose gold watch / black espadrilles /

It’s always so much fun to wear my little flower pot purse! Yes, I know, it has a name; but it looks like a flower pot to me so that is what I shall call it! haha

The weather has been fabulous, so I took my kids to meet some friends at Santana Row for a stroll along the Row, and also a yummy lunch at The Counter. I had a southern fried chicken burger with provolone cheese, and dried cranberries, on a brioche bun with a side of shoestring fries, and pesto sauce. It was a really good combo! I’m going to try it with beef next time; or the impossible burger. Have you tried it? It’s so good!

This outfit was perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends. This might be my new favorite “throw-on” tee for the spring and summer seasons. It’s really comfy and I love the loose fit. It comes in a few additional colors, so I might pick up one more!

Are you enjoying the spring weather we are getting? Hopefully it won’t get hot too quickly; this weather is perfect!
