Another winter outfit; you’ll actually be seeing these for awhile on here because….it’s winter. I posted a picture of this outfit on Sunday night saying I was about to take action on the current fashion retail calendar (my threats are pretty empty but I’m hopeful). It’s so misaligned with the actual weather that by the […]
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 […]
Let’s talk for a minute about fashion and its effect on our planet. Sometimes I struggle with this industry because it’s so consuming and can be wasteful; and although I have a lot of clothes, I really do hold on to things and re-wear them as much as I can. I also donate and sometimes […]

When it comes to animal prints, you know leopard isn’t the only game in town, right? (Although, I do love this leopard throwback.) I love a good snakeskin print because of its neutral colors and ability to go with just about any color or season. And how easy is it to pair this type of […]
Here’s a little sunshine for your Friday. I love this golden yellow hue for fall (I loved it while pregnant, too) and I’ve actually worn this dress four times this past month (that’s about three more times than I thought I would). I receive a ton of compliments every time I wear it (how can […]
