When I was in Paris, my boyfriend fiancé (if I must..) bought me my first Chanel item, aside from perfume and makeup. It was an eventful day for me and the stars must have been aligned. Also, the cost of Chanel products is cheaper in France and with the VAT you get back, it turns […]
I received my first fall-themed manicure and pedicure after work in San Francisco today. I scanned over the dark colors with excitement and glee but ended up passing over favorites like Essie’s Wicked for a more transitional color. I have all winter (and in Chicago, it’s very long) to wear dark, vampy colors. The perfect […]
This is what a desperate last attempt of summer looks like. Tank tops + sandals. Actually, I’m lying…these photos are from Rome and it was quite toasty for our time there. As much as I love fall (ex: I bought $40 worth of socks today), I’m always sad to see summer leave. Do I really […]

The weather in Paris also convinced me to buy these gray booties at Zara–I ended up wearing them almost […]
I’ve never claimed to be athletic; in fact, some (naysayers) may describe me as downright uncoordinated. Nevertheless, I went on a five-hour hike in Cinque Terre, Italy and it was easily one of my favorite outdoor activities…ever. I’m sure the breathtaking views played a hefty part in the overall enjoyment of what would have otherwise […]
