It’s that time of year when the seasons start to change. Outside, it’s still summer, but mentally, we start to think fall. Kids are going back to school, summer vacations are distant memories now, and oh my gosh, did a leaf just fall from that tree? In the retail world, we called July- mid August, […]
If you notice anything about my style, I hope that it’s my ability to mix high and low. You’re just as likely to see me wearing a $20 shirt as you are a $3,000 bag. I’ve been shopping for myself for a loooong time and I’ve learned when to invest and when I can pick […]
This Staud bag has been my summer go-to. I constantly reach for it, no matter what I’m wearing. It’s the perfect size, color combination, and the structure instantly makes any outfit look chic. I don’t think this bag screams ‘summer months only,’ though. I can easily see myself wearing this come September, early October. Plus, […]
In honor of being OOO this week, I wanted to share several ways to style a linen skirt, which I packed for Spain.

These Everlane shorts are $45 and they are MAGIC. The waist is elastic, which basically means they feel like pajamas, yet here they are looking chic with a cami and blazer. These are the kind of shorts you can wear on a date and also to the park with your kids (and I have done […]
I went to the M.M.LaFleur showroom in Chicago recently and realized how vastly different shopping for work clothes is than it used to be. Let’s rewind to the last decade; when I was a senior in college, I had to buy a suit for interviews AND for class presentations. I was a finance major by […]
In my last Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post, I talked about how I’ve accumulated so many great items from past sales. Again, there are some special pieces to be found in this year’s sale but more than anything it looks like it’s a time to gather investment items rather than exclusive product. I thought I’d show […]
The Anniversary Sale madness (see my post here) is fun but sometimes you can forget, hey, I don’t actually NEED to wear a sweater right now. It’s summer! And what a glorious time it is. We grilled out last night and enjoyed a delicious heirloom tomato salad with corn on the cob; summer’s bounty is […]
