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 […]
I write a Chicago guide every few years and thought it was high time I wrote another: here’s the Official Non-Tourist Chicago Summer Guide–lots of patios included because, well, we gotta be outside. Yes, I moved to the suburbs (read why and also read more about how it’s going here), but I’m still in the […]

As someone who may be older (and wiser…?) than you, hopefully from time to time, I can provide guidance or tips on what I’ve learned along the way. As you know, last year we bought an older home and moved to the Chicago suburbs. I’ve lived here over a decade and while I’ve worked and […]
