Sometimes I wonder why we do this to ourselves. We get these beloved pets well knowing that they will likely pass away before we do. When they do pass, they take a little piece of our soul with them. Losing a pet is painful; this is all still so fresh. Out of habit, I went […]
Do you know who deserves our utmost respect? Family/children photographers. I swear, they have the patience of saints. Capturing a smiling, happy family is not easy when a toddler is involved. Harry had a few meltdowns, but luckily, we were able to snap a few Kodak moments. And come on, look at how proud Jerome […]
Zara check coat (similar and HERE), J brand jeans, J Crew heels, Madewell white shirt, Saint Laurent sunglasses, Chanel ‘boy’ bag Buying a new coat for spring? This is Chicago, after all…winter lasts until June. I couldn’t resist the oversized checks–plus, in black and camel, to boot! Most importantly, how do you feel about Jerome’s cameo? […]

J Crew blazer, American Vintage sweater, J Crew skirt (old), Prada booties, Marc Jacobs bag (old, but similar) Black and tan is always a no-brainer combination to me. I hesitated when buying this blazer–would it be too trendy? Then, I realized, there’s nothing trendy about two classic colors when paired together. I looked at Jerome […]
Hunter boots, Karen Kane Dreamcatcher jacket (c/o), J Crew turtleneck, J Brand jeans Do you remember when I posted about the day my sister adopted this adorable pup? Look how big Miss Josephine is now! Jojo, as we like to call her, stayed the weekend at my place while my sister was out of town. […]
