ASOS sweater, ASOS coat, Old Navy chambray shirt, J Brand jeans, Gap booties (old but similar) Maybe you’ve noticed all the baggy sweaters I’ve been wearing–or perhaps you’ve picked up on the fact that I have been avoiding skirts (they just don’t fit right at the moment). The cat’s out of the bag; I’m 17 […]
Squash calls my name every fall. Even though they’re a pain to cut (how do you people carve pumpkins so well?!) and some can be funny looking (look at that butternut squash…yes, I am a child), they’re just so delicious that I can’t resist them! Soups are my favorite to make on Sundays because they […]
It may be cliche, but once fall rolls around, I’m all about the apples. Apple pie? Sign me up. Apple crumble? Feed me. Applesauce? Mmm, just like my mom used to make (heated up!). At brunch this week, I ate the most delicious apple cake at Lula Cafe. It wasn’t enough to satisfy my taste […]
To celebrate the “end” of summer, I decided to make blueberry pancakes (I’m more of a savory breakfast gal myself). The last time I made pancakes was probably in the 90s when my sister and I would make them on Saturdays while watching Saved by the Bell. Turns out, they’re still pretty simple to make […]
In our household, I’m alone in my love for kale. I try and sneak it into dinner from time to time but as a whole, Eric simply doesn’t like it (and neither does Jerome–I thought dogs ate everything!). Even so, I buy a bunch almost every week and try to incorporate it into our diets […]

towel / umbrella / garden statue / pillow / letterpress cards / framed print / salt + pepper shakers As you can tell from my instagram, I love my dog Jerome. He’s my little man (Eric and I have affectionately dubbed him “biggie boy” in what sounds like a caveman dialect) and he makes me laugh every single day. We’ve had […]
I hope you all had a great, summer weekend! Here in Chicago, the weather is finally warm and it’s actually starting to feel like summer…for real, this time. Ice cream is definitely a staple of mine during the warmer months but on super hot and humid days, only an ice pop will suffice. For someone […]
