Hello, and welcome to ChicStyle Blog. My name is Zoey Mitchell, and transparency is something I take seriously. This Disclosure explains how I handle sponsorships, partnerships, gifted products, affiliate relationships, and any other collaborations that may appear across the blog.
1. Sponsored Content
From time to time, I partner with brands or companies to create sponsored content. If a blog post, image, or article on ChicStyle Blog has been sponsored, you’ll see it clearly disclosed at the top of the post or within the content itself.
Sponsored content helps support the time, creativity, and resources required to run this blog — but it never controls my voice, my opinions, or my recommendations.
2. Gifted Products and PR Samples
Brands sometimes send me products to try out — clothing, beauty items, hair tools, nail products, or accessories. Receiving a gifted product does not guarantee that I will feature it on ChicStyle Blog.
If I do choose to write about it, I’ll always disclose that it was a PR gift. Whether a product is purchased by me or gifted to me, my opinions remain 100% my own. If something doesn’t impress me, I either won’t share it, or I’ll be honest about its pros and cons.
3. Affiliate Links
ChicStyle Blog participates in select affiliate programs. This means I may earn a small commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. These links are clearly disclosed within the relevant blog posts. Affiliate income helps keep the blog running while allowing me to continue creating content for you.
4. Reviews and Honest Opinions
Every product review, recommendation, or styling tip on ChicStyle Blog reflects my real, honest experiences. If I love something, I’ll tell you why. If something missed the mark, I’ll either not promote it or explain exactly what didn’t work for me. I will never recommend a product, brand, or service that I don’t genuinely believe in.
5. Advertising and Brand Partnerships
ChicStyle Blog may include banner ads, sidebar advertising, or other display ads. I work to keep these ads relevant to the blog’s theme and audience. My editorial integrity is not for sale — no advertiser, sponsor, or partner can buy a positive opinion or favorable coverage.
6. Responsibility to My Readers
The trust you place in ChicStyle Blog matters more than any partnership. That’s why I commit to:
- Disclosing all sponsorships, partnerships, and affiliate relationships clearly.
- Following FTC guidelines around endorsements and influencer marketing.
- Sharing honest reviews, regardless of whether a product was gifted or paid.
- Putting reader value above brand income, every single time.
