Jacket season is my favorite in Chicago (and it’s a good thing, too–you need to wear them 3/4 of the year here). It’s your top layer and there are so many to choose from. A jacket just completes the look and makes one look put together. Now, here we have this bold, yet classic, checked […]
An all season outfit is the best kind. It could be summer, spring–ok not winter in Chicago, but winter i a warmer climate–and also, fall. It’s made of basics that you can wear almost anytime of year and just works in most climates (again, except a frozen tundra). That’s why I love jeans with stripes […]
If you caught my IG stories yesterday, I did a major try on of inexpensive sweaters to get you excited for fall. While I love a good splurge, I also love a good save and admittedly, I have just as many cheaper H&M and Zara sweaters as I have cashmere. Most of them are soft […]
When it comes to animal prints, you know leopard isn’t the only game in town, right? (Although, I do love this leopard throwback.) I love a good snakeskin print because of its neutral colors and ability to go with just about any color or season. And how easy is it to pair this type of […]

Remember when I made a DIY jumpsuit with wide-leg pants and a cami? When I wore it that day, was one of those hot, August days; you know the type–sticky, muggy, heavy air. Well, the weather is turning but even if the morning is cool, the afternoons are usually a little warmer. My solution? Add […]
Happy Friday, everyone! This week kicked my butt but I’m feeling invigorated and excited for my little man, Harry, to start pre-k after the holiday. Other than that, we have a family Cubs game on the docket this weekend (my boys made it on the big board last year) and I’m going to prioritize some […]
Happy Friday, everyone! This week’s Real Outfit Recap features a “DIY” jumpsuit and a new online shop called Popella that features only Greek designers. Also, I threw in a photo from a lash lift I received, in case you’re ever interested in having it done. (It’s my second time ever doing it and while I […]
