*images via weheartit Wishing you all a wonderful holiday. I hope you’re all spending copious amounts of time with your loved ones and indulging in all sort of sweet and savory goodies. I also want to thank everyone for supporting and reading my silly, little blog–it really means the world to me. **Don’t forget to […]
When I graduated college and got my first ‘real’ job, I was guilty of frequently philandering my paychecks on new dresses and tops. Not to say that my love for shopping has waned (at all), but I’ve definitely become more aware of my shopping habits and try to make a conscious effort to purchase things […]
Don’t be fooled by these treats. I haven’t been hard at work making Christmas treats the past few weeks; in fact, the only goodies I’ve made have been of the ‘no-bake’ genre.

Since moving in with Eric, I realized that we hardly had more than a Festivus Pole between the two of us and absolutely no […]
As you can see from the white-speckled photos, it snowed this past Saturday in Chicago. I had my first Christmas party of the year to attend and it was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. That, combined with the freshly fallen snow and recently hung wreath in my apartment, the spirit of […]
Since our wedding is in Mexico (and a mere six months away), I had to send out save the dates rather early so guests would start to book their travel. Because I sent them so early, they didn’t have the usual couple picture plastered on them because Eric and I didn’t get engagement pictures right […]
