I’m very excited about today’s post because I’m featuring a great place where I love to do my shopping. I’m all about bargain shopping and quality products, at Puerto Rico Premium Outlets you find both. Recently a few bloggers and I were invited on a Fashion Blogger Road trip organized by Puerto Rico Premium Outlets.

This tour was completely made for my boyfriend and I because we were given a tour of our favorite stores BCBG Max Azria, Kipling, Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, American Eagle, Calvin Klein, Loft, Reebook & Adidas. At BCBG Max Azria, American Eagle & Calvin Klein I put on a little fashion show modeling a few of their fabulous pieces. Meanwhile at the Loft I personally styled three mannequins. I have to mention a very important fact at each store the staff treated me with great professionalism. Costumers are the priority and therefore are given extraordinary service. My treatment was definitely VIP, after the tour I was taken to the Baazar area for a coffee break where I was given many gifts and enjoyed delicious treats.

Puerto Rico Premium Outlets is a beautiful village-style center that counts with 90 outlet designer and name brand stores offering a 25%-65% on merchandise every day. Amongst their stores apart from the ones I visited on my tour you will find Ann Taylor, Coach, Michael Khors, Perry Ellis, Disney Store, Lacoste and many more.

If you get hungry while shopping PR Premium Outlets food court offers a great variety of choices plus surrounding the outlet you can find a numerous amount of restaurants like Chili’s Grill & Bar, IHOP, Metropol Restaurant and Ponderosa Steakhouse. After the shopping and dining if you’re in the mood for a bit of entertainment you can visit the bazaar area where you can enjoy coffee, macaroons and live music or you could visit Caribbean Cinemas to watch a movie.

Did you know that Simon Premium Outlets offers a VIP membership where you get even more discounts on top of all of your outlet purchases? You can become a VIP member here www.premiumoutlets.com/vip/register.

For a very special announcement, this Saturday, August 1st Puerto Rico Premium Outlets officially opens the first F21 Red store in Puerto Rico! I’ll share more details about the opening very soon.

Be Lovely,

Wandering Beauty

July 23, 2015August 17, 2015

What better way to enjoy summer in Puerto Rico than to take a stroll through the streets of Old San Juan. The heart and soul of Puerto Rico lies within El Viejo San Juan. This little town is full of charm and beauty with cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, restaurants, live music, cafes, and many unique stores.

Onto outfit details wearing something chic, breezy and flowy was my goal to wander through this beautiful town. So, I wore a white sleeveless top & violet skirt which combined beautifully with the bright colors of San Juan and my delicious Piña Colada. When it comes to accessories I’m a fan of delicate jewelry and this leather bracelet added a summery pop of color. This turquoise and plum leather bracelet is part of Trollbeads Summer Collection. There are a great variety of colors. The beads I choose to style my bracelet were the Starfish, Playing Dolphins, Silver Sea Urchin, Sunglasses, Silver Trace Turquoise and the Seahorses Lock.

Dress it up or down, Trollbeads leather bracelets are so versatile they will go perfectly with any outfit. Chic, sleek and gorgeous; this leather bracelet is a summer go-to accessory that complements any look.

Great news! Trollbeads Puerto Rico celebrates its one year anniversary on the 7^th & 8^th of August and I’ll be there one of the days to help you style some designs. Stay tuned for more details very soon so mark your calendars!

A Summer Fantasy

July 20, 2015August 17, 2015

Putting together a chic and trendy look can sometimes be a tough task but every girl knows that no outfit is ever complete without the companionship of jewelry. Jewelry sets the tone of your entire look.

I love jewelry and that’s why I’m very excited to announce that I have partnered with the internationally famous jewelry company Trollbeads. Trollbeads exclusively selected a few top bloggers from different parts of the world to represent the brand, so each season I will be showing you how to style my favorite pieces. Founded in 1976 and head courted in Copenhagen, Denmark, Trollbeads is no ordinary jewelry brand, it’s a unique lifestyle. Trollbeads jewelry is completely customizable; you can design personalized jewelry inspiring you to be creative through beauty, love, diversity, friendship and all of life’s beautiful occasions.

The jewelry selection I am wearing in today’s post is part of Trollbeads summer collection. For me, this delicate Fantasy Pearl Necklace is the epitome of the Caribbean summer; it radiantly glistens in the sun and complements the beautiful sea.

There are quite a few ways you can design the Fantasy Pearl necklace. I choose to style this beautiful necklace with the “In Your Heart” Pendant and the “Pink Petals” glass bead. This delicate necklace adds grace and femininity to any outfit you wear not to mention it complemented perfectly with my girly floral lace romper. Trollbeads is about personalizing jewelry to represent special moments. My Fantasy Necklace design symbolizes “Summer Love” reminding me of the love that sparkled when I met my boyfriend a few summers ago; I’m a hopeless romantic.

Be Lovely,

3 Year Blogiversary – Pretty In Pink

July 7, 2015August 17, 2015

It’s Lovely Chicas birthday today! July 7, 2015 marks three years since my trembling fingers pressed publish on my very first blog post. Sitting here thinking about what to write isn’t easy because there is so much I want to say and so much I’m thankful for. Being honest, before publishing Lovely Chicas a spent a few years battling with doubt on whether to begin a blog or not. I was very nervous about publishing the blog because of how people would react. I’m not a fan of being judged but I’ve learned not to care what people think and just do what makes me happy.

Reflecting on the trials, tears, accomplishments and success, I don’t regret my decision. It’s been a whirlwind journey. I created this online space to share a piece of whom I am, to share my ideas and advice with others. This particular year has been a big one which allowed me to successfully work with so many brands, designers on special collaborations and projects. Greater things are coming and I owe that all to my supportive follower’s. I’m very attached to lovely Chicas, this blog has become a part of me. I am happier now than I was 3 years ago. Lovely Chicas has provided me with things I’ve only dreamed of. The shy girl I use to be is long gone; a confident women who’s not afraid to take risk now shines through me.

So, I wasn’t sure how to celebrate my Blogiversary, with so many ideas I decided to simply do a special post with “Pretty in Pink/Candy Land” type photos. Since being normal is not my thing and thinking out of the box is, instead of blowing the candles of a cake why not celebrate with my favorite treat; a candy apple (which btw I only had a single bite of because Xavier decided to eat it all). My entire pinkalicious chic & fabulous look is from Gatsby who were on board to be part of Lovely Chica’s 3^rd blogiversary.

With all my love and appreciation I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this amazing journey. Thank you Xavier for not only being an incredible boyfriend but for being the one who makes all my crazy ideas comes to life. My beautiful followers thank you for showing me constant support. Knowing I have so many incredible readers to share my thoughts with is just amazing.

Be Lovely,

Charlene Gonzalez
