Happy 4th of July! Lots of great deals to snag and I’m sharing some favorites below. I’ll keep updating this as I find more sales, too, so check back! Also, I’m gearing up for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in two weeks (July 12 starts Early Access and Public Access starts July 20). I’ll be rounding […]
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 […]
When you move, it can feel like you’re hemorrhaging money. Not only is there a desire to ‘start fresh’ but there’s also a ton of new stuff you just need for the new space. Now none of these things are essentials by any means but they’re my favorite household items. What’s yours? Am I missing […]
It’s high time I addressed this because I’ve received a ton of messages about what I’m doing now that we moved up to the suburbs. I’ve been meaning to address it–I just wasn’t sure HOW and felt like it deserved a post of its own. I know many of you reach out for career advice […]

We hemmed, we hawed, we thought about moving to another state completely (didn’t work out), but ultimately, we decided to move to the Chicago suburbs. “Moving to the suburbs” […]
This isn’t a before and after story quite yet. You see, we haven’t moved into #thisoldtudor (built in 1926) house yet but I thought I’d do a quick post on it. I did extensive research on painting original wood trim and moldings–and I often hit a dead end. People seem to be very passionate about […]
It’s my favorite time of the week: Real Outfit Recap! We made it through another week, gang. It went by so quickly and it’s dawning on me that we’re moving soon. I’m going to be sharing all of our home progress along the way (especially on IG stories) so be sure to follow me over […]
I’ve got new home on the brain. As you know from last week, we closed (yay) but we aren’t moving until April. Why? I’m skim-coating the walls (it’s currently bumpy plaster), repainting the whole house (Benjamin Moore ‘White Dove’), painting the moldings/trim (Benjamin Moore ‘White Dove’ in semi-gloss) and re-staining the hardwood floors (the ‘Provincial’ […]
