I thought I’d spice this post up by sharing with you some of my favorite Lifetime Movie Network films. I’ve been obsessed with Lifetime movies for as long as we’ve had cable (we didn’t get cable TV until I was in high school). They’re a little cheesy, somewhat predictable, but I love them and […]
I’m not going to complain about Daylight Savings–I promise. BUT, all of the sudden, it’s winter in Chicago. I’ll mildly about that because it’s TOO SOON. I was driving along on Monday, just feeling happy and seeing the bright and beautiful leaves were still on the trees and outside it was a perfect 54 degrees […]
Ah, the turtleneck. It’s one of my favorite cold weather pieces. I grew up in the Midwest, so my love of turtlenecks is also based on functionality–they keep you warm but they also look super chic. I know how to wear a turtleneck; I love them alone, layered, with skirts of any length and any […]
Give me all the fuzzy, cozy goodness this fall. Winter lasts a long time so wearing something that makes me feel like a baby chick is just what I need. Enter: the faux shearling bomber. It looks great over a t-shirt or turtleneck and always looks effortless with jeans. Hell, I’ll even wear it with […]
Happy Friday, gang! I can’t believe Halloween is over. I used to be really into it for myself, but now I focus on the kids. I always have grand plans of doing family costumes and the fail immensely…well, at least the kids were dressed up. Harry dictated the costumes this year as he really wanted […]
I’m teaming up with Patricia Nash to take you around my city–be a tourist in my city, if you will. I’ve lived in Chicago a long time and there’s always a hot new neighborhood or an undiscovered place to explore. I’ve largely been a west-sider and spend a lot of my time there (i.e. West […]
I loved all the feedback I received from the H&M sweater try-on (also, I ended up keeping all the sweaters except the color blocked one–my sister bought that one from me). I received a few requests for an Everlane try-on because 1.) I wear it a lot and 2.) those who haven’t worn it wanted […]
In words of Chandler Bing, “Could I BE wearing any more grey?!” Nope, I couldn’t. This outfit is all versions of taupe, faded black, and of course grey–and it just works. Grey is one of my neutrals for sure and when you go for a tonal look–it just works. Monochromatic is cool, but tonal outfits […]
