I have a confession: I always swore I wouldn’t be the mom who started dressing down just because I had kids. And at first I didn’t–but I had a 9-5 job in fashion that required some dressing up, meeting with clients or brands and setting the tone for the style in the office. Now, I […]
Belt bag, fanny pack, hip pouch – what do you call it? Basically, this baby is a hands-free bag and with the 90s revival happening as of late, they’ve been all the rage. I had one growing up (who didn’t) and definitely didn’t think I’d be rocking a nylon one again as an adult. The […]
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 […]
The week you get back from vacation is ROUGH. It’s even rougher when you come back and have a jam-packed weekend and get sick. I went the Beyonce/Jay Z concert at Soldier Field and had to leave early because I was sick in the bathroom for 40 minutes (I also had a fever/chills, so I […]
Well, hey there! I’m back after a little hiatus (and it was lovely being able to unplug). August is a bittersweet month for me as I get excited for fall but hate saying goodbye to summer. If winter could just be milder, Chicago would be the best city in the world! But I digress–here’s what’s […]
I had some hesitation about going back into denim miniskirt territory but ultimately took the plunge. How is it different than the jean shorts I wear all summer, really? What ultimately held me back was the underlying association I have with denim mini skirts: high school (and I probably wore them in college, too). I […]
I liked this red maxi dress wayyyy more than I thought I would. The deep V is so flattering (I wear a stick-on bra with it but you could totally wear a lacy bralette that could peek out and look like it should) and the color is just perfection. I have a wedding to attend […]
I skipped last week’s Real Outfit Recap so I’m giving it to you a day early! It’s been a CRAZY week because my sister and her whole family have been in town staying with us. It reminds me of the Home Alone house (we do live in the same town, but sadly not that house) […]
