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 […]
One common Tuesday, I walked into my place of work and my office buddy (for now at least, I’m a consultant) told me I was dressed like Rachel Greene from Friends, the early years. I pursed my lips, looked sideways suspiciously, and finally shrugged, ‘hmm.’ Then, I took it as a total compliment. I can’t […]
I love everything about these shoes, except two things: the price and the platform. I understand the need for extra heel height, but being the pragmatic girl I am, I know it’ll be hard for me to get around in these kicks. I’d also prefer not to be 6’5″ in my shoes. I’m pretty good […]
I’m in some dire need of some styling tips. I bought these boots at Zara in France (i.e. returns unlikely) and while I really like them, I’m not sure how to wear them. In fact, a friend even noticed them in my closet and said that she liked them but wasn’t sure if I’d wear […]
I’m happy to announce a giveaway with CSN stores to all my readers. Up for grabs is a $35 gift card to any of their sites! I’ve checked out what they have to offer and it ranges from bed sets to shoes to Missoni home (seriously!). As most of you know, I spent a good […]
When I got this tan leather jacket a few months back, I hung it at the front of my closet just waiting for the day it would be cool enough outside to wear it. That’s the blessing and the curse of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale–you can buy fall items for a significant discount, but unfortunately, […]
When I was in Paris, my boyfriend fiancé (if I must..) bought me my first Chanel item, aside from perfume and makeup. It was an eventful day for me and the stars must have been aligned. Also, the cost of Chanel products is cheaper in France and with the VAT you get back, it turns […]
The weather in Paris was refreshingly cooler than the other cities on my trip. I welcomed the sunny, 68 degree days with open arms. Finally, the one jacket I packed (but almost forgot) came in handy. The weather in Paris also convinced me to buy these gray booties at Zara–I ended up wearing them almost […]
