About Chic Mom Guide

I hope I can empower you to prioritize yourself without the mom guilt!

Hey, I’m Niki. Wife, mom, style lover, and the voice behind Chic Mom Guide!
This space is for regular moms (like me!) who want to feel good in what they wear, make time for themselves without guilt, and live life with a little more intention and a lot more fun.
Around here, “chic” doesn’t mean designer bags or picture-perfect everything. I chose the word chic because I wanted to reclaim it, to push back on the idea that chicness was reserved for a select few. To me, chic is a mindset. It’s about feeling amazing in what you wear, no matter your size, shape, or budget. It’s about showing up with intention, not perfection, and owning your confidence, even in the middle of mom-life chaos.
I started this blog as a recovering burnout queen and Enneagram 2 (“The Giver”) who needed a gentle nudge to start giving back to herself. After going into remission from Grave’s disease, my body changed a lot  but I’m learning to love this version of me while also working on my health from a place of care, not punishment.
Most importantly, I’m a wife and mom who’s obsessed with her family. They’re my whole world but I’ve learned that I show up better for them when I take care of myself too.
If you’re looking for real-life outfit inspo, simple beauty tips, and relatable mom-life content that makes you feel seen, you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m 5’3, size 14/16 and I usually wear an XL. I’m currently 190 pounds.

I share super cute outfits (of course, Lol) that actually work for busy moms a.k.a. you feel comfortable wearing these while chasing kids and living your best mom life. The only time I pull away from practicality is for a spicy little date night look, some formal event, and family photoshoots.

I have two sweet boys, Theo & Luca. They are very active and help ensure all my outfits our mom-proof!

Yes, but only by accident. I was laid off while 7 months pregnant with my second baby and have been navigating this transition with hope & optimism. I’d love to stay home with my kids but I also want to contribute financially, hence the blog!

I’m a Virgo and an Enneagram 2, which seems to be a very common pairing. I also spent most of my life thinking I’m an introvert, but I’m starting to think I’m an ambivert with very clear extrovert and introvert tendencies!

I’m here to encourage you to make time for yourself without the mom guilt while also helping you find clothes, beauty products, and other recommendations that actually work for your midsize, busy mom lifestyle.

I’m definitely open to it! My dream is to be a full-time content creator…eek..it’s still crazy to admit that out loud!
