This grey leather jacket has been as much as a neutral to me than black. In fact, I think it can actually lighten up the feel of an outfit. I’m all about hoarding the neutrals and I’m so glad I added this buttery, grey option to my repertoire. (I also wore it here, a […]
I know, I know – a real outfit recap on a Monday?! Last week was a doozy and I was out of commission all weekend. I took Friday off to head to Ohio (my hometown) to help my mom pack up her house. My parents built that house when I was 13 and I lived […]
It’s fall, which means layers are aplenty and my wallet gets the real workout. I have no remorse investing in my fall wardrobe; in Chicago, you wear the pieces for at least 6 months out of the year, if not more. May I present to you, my fall wishlist: Textured coat – I’m all about […]

There’s something about that straight line and contrasts of color that make them eternally stylish and they go with just about anything. There are striped tops I’ve had in my closet for […]
Consider a floral fall dress this season. Before we all go buckwild with the boots and scarves, remember that it’s not quite fall and the warm weather could linger for awhile, depending on where you live. Although Chicago will be chilly by October/November, I still am buying dresses for fall–floral dresses, too. I can wear […]
