As you can see from the white-speckled photos, it snowed this past Saturday in Chicago. I had my first Christmas party of the year to attend and it was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. That, combined with the freshly fallen snow and recently hung wreath in my apartment, the spirit of […]
Meet my sister Emily. I’ve mentioned her in my blog several times and now here she is, getting her own feature post. While I was home for Thanksgiving, I asked her if I could pick out an outfit for her and take pictures. As soon as I saw this sparkly cardigan hanging in her closet, […]
Thanks for all of your birthday wishes, everyone! Your kind messages definitely soothed the sting of turning 26. This weekend, I enjoyed a delicious meal at Stephanie Izard’s (Top Chef winner) resetaurant, The Girl and the Goat, tried on a couple more wedding gowns, and enjoyed spending time with friends.

While I love the classic silhouette, I wear it way too often to work (and Joan Holloway, I’m not). As I woke up late this morning with a huge holiday hangover, I realized […]
It is so windy out today. If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was some sort of hurricane coming off of Lake Michigan. Leaves are swirling, skirts are flipping, but temperatures are rising, so I can’t complain. It was just as breezy yesterday and the dress I was wearing flipped up for all to […]
