image / skirt / blouse / pumps / sunglasses / bag I’ve got denim on the brain this week, apparently. I never thought I would be saying this in my post-college life, but here goes: I want a denim skirt. In my defense, I’m not talking about the Abercrombie mini skirt that barely covered my backside and (most likely) had a white ruffle that lined […]
Nothing beats a summer weekend–especially in Chicago, when the city truly comes alive. I had a great weekend at Pitchfork Music Festival (thanks, H&M!), grabbing some drinks at the best outdoor patio in the city (it’s called the “Secret Garden), and just enjoying myself. A few of these photos were posted to instagram, so feel […]
towel / umbrella / garden statue / pillow / letterpress cards / framed print / salt + pepper shakers As you can tell from my instagram, I love my dog Jerome. He’s my little man (Eric and I have affectionately dubbed him “biggie boy” in what sounds like a caveman dialect) and he makes me laugh every single day. We’ve had […]
shorts / blouse / dress / sunglasses / booties / sandals / bag As some of you may know, I’m an avid music lover. Ever since I was a wee teenager, I was hitting up indie concerts and jamming out to the latest tunes (don’t worry, I never lost my love for boy bands). As soon as I moved to Chicago, I was […]
I hope you all had a great, summer weekend! Here in Chicago, the weather is finally warm and it’s actually starting to feel like summer…for real, this time. Ice cream is definitely a staple of mine during the warmer months but on super hot and humid days, only an ice pop will suffice. For someone […]
Whenever we have people over, I always run to Whole Foods to pick up fresh guacamole and mango salsa. I love making my own guacamole but was always hesitant to replicate their mango salsa–cutting one up is a challenge in itself. Well, this past weekend, I sucked it up and made a damn good mango […]
The best thing about summer? Possibly tomatoes. But really, bruschetta is possibly the easiest and tastiest appetizer out there. And since I’m just getting acclimated to my new house/kitchen, the easier the better. My recipe: container of mixed cherry tomatoes (or about 4 vine-ripened tomatoes) handful of basil leaves, chopped (I grabbed mine from the […]
I’m in the process of moving and will see you all when I return (and when I finally get internet) next week! Once our new house gets in order, I’ll try and share some snippets on instagram. In the meantime, don’t forget about my Henri Bendel giveaway that ends next week.
