I’m all about trying to stay fashionable in the winter weather, but if I’m being honest, some days, there’s no use trying. If you’re in the midwest, you know that this week is about to be brutal. Reports are saying it could be the coldest day on record in Chicago–that’s insane! This is not a […]
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 […]

Happy Friday! Last week on instagram, I asked you guys to ‘Ask Me Anything’ so I thought I’d add them to my Real Outfit Recaps. If you have any questions you want me to answer, go ahead and leave a comment–nothing (I think…) if off-limits. Have a wonderful weekend! How did you manage the transition […]
Jacket season is my favorite in Chicago (and it’s a good thing, too–you need to wear them 3/4 of the year here). It’s your top layer and there are so many to choose from. A jacket just completes the look and makes one look put together. Now, here we have this bold, yet classic, checked […]
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 […]
