I’m very excited to be teaming up with a local furniture company Interior Define that’s headquartered here in Chicago. So, what is Interior Define, anyway? It’s a home furnishing company that started out selling couches and chairs (they now have beds and soon other fun things are coming down the pike!) and were determined to […]
I always receive DMs about my favorite spots in Chicago so I thought I’d round up my go-to coffee shops. So, go on and get your caffeine fix while I share the best coffee in Chicago. Bonus: these places are also instagram-worthy! Ipsento – By far, my favorite latte in the city of Chicago. Plus, […]
Remember this outfit from Real Outfit Recap a few weeks ago? Here it is, back in the flesh: my best everyday outfit. I love how the yellow sling-backs tie back to the gold belt buckle – they totally complement each other. Also, if I’m ever in a pinch and unsure what to wear, this is […]
The day has come and gone already–we moved. It was not a decision we took lightly, either. How do you leave the city for the suburbs?

These are trying times but I’m seeing signs of spring. It’s lighter outside when I go to my 6am workout classes. Sometimes it feels warm enough in the sun to take off your coat (..but not quite). And sometimes, just sometimes, I hear the birds singing. Yes, my friends, spring is near. It’s so close […]
If there’s anything you take from my blog, I hope that it’s I appreciate classic style with hints of trend, androgyny and tailored femininity. I’ll never be the girl that can wear something that’s ultra-feminine and cotton candy pink with perfectly styled hair–it’s not me and it will most likely never be me. And if […]
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how I felt about the mini bag. Cute, sure, but how practical would it be? Then I carried it around and you know, it felt pretty liberating. I didn’t have to sift through a bunch of junk in my bag (I’m working on that) and it was a nice […]
