✨This Week's Chic Edit (July 13th) - Create a Life That Feels Like You, The Fashion App That Will Change Your Life, Become Financially Unstoppable + Much More
Halfway checkpoint of the month/year. Is everyone okay lol? It just seems like SO much is happening right now. The energy has definitely amped up in the month of July.
On Tuesday we'll have a New Moon in Cancer with an emphasis on emotional nurturing and surprising shifts. Focusing on what makes your "inner child" happy, setting up a calm family/home life, etc. should all be at the forefronts of our minds now. My main goal is to stick to my wellness routine with 0 excuses. 10K+ steps a day, Pilates classes, quick cardio, higher water intake, vitamins/supplements daily, etc. are all on my top priority list. I'm telling you all...2026 is THE year of good change and everything we are wanting (or better) is going to happen 💫! *Special shoutout out to my bestie Rachelle...her bday is Tuesday 🎂🎉
This week's edit is packed with my latest beauty edit, chic and fun summer habits, Nordstrom anniversary sale preview picks + much more! Enjoy 😘
You know what's actually chic? Having options! Not relying on one paycheck. Being able to work from anywhere you want. Not stressing every time you want to book the trip, buy the bag or romanticize your Wednesday afternoon.
This is exactly where learning digital skills comes into play. In a world full of AI this and AI that, now is the time more than EVER to build skill sets that will be here to stay; the real flex is doing this ahead of the curve since the future is digital. The digital courses below have a wealth of knowledge with everything from selling digital products to affiliate marketing and business strategies, just to name a few. I personally have both volumes and they have made a world of difference in my ongoing digital content creator journey.
Let me tell you a little secret. Nordstrom is literally the go to for any fashion situation. It has been my go to retailer for attire for formal wedding events, corporate HQ work, resort vacations, etc. Not only that, they have a plethora of miscellaneous items as well. Need a last minute suitcase for a quick trip because yours broke? Nordstrom has it ✅! What about a face mask/bath essentials to unwind after a rough work week? Nordstrom has that too ✅! You seriously can't go wrong with this store and their return policy is absolutely seamless. The preview sale is available to view now before the actual anniversary sale goes live on July 18th, so I've curated my fave selections below.
How to Create a Life That Actually Feels Like Yours ❤️
Let's be real. It's SO easy to look around and feel like everyone else got the life handbook you somehow missed. Someone's getting engaged, someone bought a house, someone landed the dream job...and suddenly you're questioning every decision you've ever made. But the truth is, the life that feels the most fulfilling usually isn't the one that looks the most impressive. It's the one that's built around your values and the things that genuinely light you up inside instead of just what looks good on social media. The real tea is there is no prize for hitting every milestone first anyways.
You are not behind. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. To change careers. To take the trip. To stay single a little longer. To quit the thing that looks good on paper but drains you every day. The most beautiful lives are rarely built by following the "life script"; they're built by paying attention to what feels aligned, peaceful and true to YOU!

Chic and Fun Summer 2026 Habits ☀️☺️
Summer 2026 is all about romanticizing the little things. Choosing ease over excess. Wear the cute outfit just because, stay hydrated and continue being your fabulous self.
Finance Chic Series ✨💵
We're back in week six of my multiple part finance series. Continuing on with "Money Mindset", this week's topic will focus onBecoming Financially Unstoppable.
Here's the secret no one talks about...the most powerful investment you'll ever make isn't the designer bag, dream vacation/car or huge house. Nope, it's the story you tell yourself about money! Becoming financially unstoppable starts with believing that abundance belongs to you. Wealth isn't reserved for just a select few, it's something you create through your mindset, your habits and the standards you refuse to lower.
The way you think about money shapes the way you earn it, invest it and ultimately keep it. Financial freedom is an identity before it becomes a lifestyle. Think of your mindset the way you think of a timeless wardrobe. Trends come and go, but impeccable tailoring, quality and intention never go out of style. Your financial habits work the same way. Every investment in yourself, every intentional decision and every boundary you set becomes another beautifully curated piece in the life you're creating.
When your mindset shifts from scarcity to possibility, everything else follows like clockwork. Because being financially unstoppable isn't about looking rich...it's about becoming so grounded in your value that abundance feels like the most natural thing you could ever wear. The most unstoppable women aren't waiting for permission to build extraordinary lives. When you cultivate an abundant mindset, money becomes a reflection of your confidence rather than the source of it. And that's where true wealth begins: within! ✨💸👛
Fashion App Highlight 📣📱
I have to tell you guys about an app that has literally been one of the BEST lifesavers for keeping my closet organized and up to date. It's called "Stylebook" and I randomly discovered it in the Apple app store years ago. It lets you not only pull together virtual packing outfits for vacation but it also gives you the option to analyze your "style stats" and see how much you've used an item, cost per wear, etc. It is truly amazing and has stayed up to date with the times of modern technology so it is always continuously improving. I've finally re-organized all three of my closets this year (after donating about 40% to charities) and I'm so excited to create/redo my virtual closet using this. Highly recommend - 10/10 ⭐️!

WELCOME TO LACHICCOUTURE'S INNER CIRCLE Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my newsletter 🗞 Okay let me just say...now that we are in the 2nd half of the year...it is GO TIME!

WELCOME TO LACHICCOUTURE'S INNER CIRCLE Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my newsletter 🗞 How are we already at the end of June?

WELCOME TO LACHICCOUTURE'S INNER CIRCLE Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my newsletter 🗞 We've officially hit the mid point of June.
