My favorite boots from last year are in dire need of a shining and/or buffing. I wore them tirelessly through a slushy winter and it apparently shows. I love these boots because they’re dead ringers for Loeffler Randall’s classic Matilde boots, which I wanted badly a couple years back; instead, I paid a fraction of […]
I find myself drawn to these blue, suede shoes. I can’t really envision myself wearing them, yet I find them completely intriguing. There is something so Alexander McQueen about these shoes and the navy makes them even more enticing. However, I know myself and I just wouldn’t wear these very often. The Dolce Vita Hayword, […]
I need to start out by stating that I’m a tad embarrassed by this post. I haven’t been home since the 17th and I feel obligated to do an outfit post because I’ve had my camera with me this whole time. Enter: self-timer, solo shots. No remote. No tripod. Just me in my hotel room, […]
Since I reside in a city that insists on having arctic winters, tights are a necessary evil.

Did you have penny loafers when you were growing up? I did. Did you love sticking pennies in them? Sure did. *via I want penny loafers again…in a bad way. And not just because I want(ed) to be Stacy from the Babysitters Club. You don’t have to look like you’re in 6th grade anymore when […]
*via The heat wave this past weekend was a pleasant surprise. Nights without jackets and days in tee shirts–definitely not commonplace for October. As nice as it was, it made me long for fall. I realize that come February I will be cursing myself for ever wishing for cooler temperatures, but 87 degrees in October […]
It was Indian Summer in Chicago this past weekend. Although the leaves have begun to change and fall off the trees, temperatures crept into the 80s. I’ve mentally checked out of summer so when I had to pick an outfit for a night out, I drew a blank. I had my mind set on wearing […]
