It is so windy out today. If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was some sort of hurricane coming off of Lake Michigan. Leaves are swirling, skirts are flipping, but temperatures are rising, so I can’t complain. It was just as breezy yesterday and the dress I was wearing flipped up for all to […]
I had the great pleasure of cooking with my friend Maggie, from Magpies and More, the other night. She is great friend of mine, whom I’ve known since college. She loves to cook, bake, and entertain (and she’s darn good at it). Due to her blog, she often has many leftover treats that she gifts […]
It’s cold again. No matter how much I see the sun shining or hear the birds chirping, but the truth is that it just isn’t that warm in Chicago, yet. We were teased last month with tastes of summer; a random 80 degree day here and there was the best thing to happen to this […]

I’ve had some major apartment drama go down in the past week. My boyfriend and I signed a place about three weeks ago and got a call last week that the lease needed to be dissolved. Yes, it was devastating, but we’ve soldiered on. Suffice to say, we’ve been scrambling to get another place just […]
A good cardigan can make for an easier life–it’s the problem solver of garments. Chilly spring night? Wear a cardigan. Have a top that you’re dying to wear to happy hour but is a tad inappropriate for work? Wear a cardigan. Stain on your shirt that won’t come out but not quite ready to give […]
