My obsession with homes doesn’t just focus on the interiors but also on the outdoor area that I so long to have. Sure, I can move to the suburbs, but would I have a pool surrounded by olive groves and…
Energy is a notion I haven’t given much thought to but one that seems to constantly be swirling around me. Over the years, you tend to look back and notice a pattern about your life. Not only about yourself, but also…
Who said chocolate bars can’t be healthy? This recipe calls for dates and hazelnuts and dark chocolate and I would indulge in a piece sitting at this gorgeous dining room table when I have a quiet afternoon to myself…
When it comes to homes on the Mediterranean, I’m not biased: give me blue, white and a view of the ocean and I’m one happy girl. This adorable home in Alicante, Spain seems to check all the boxes. I especially…
There comes a time where you look at your city, like an old lover, and feel you’ve already seen all there is to see. A sense of monotony sets in, a lack of excitement leaves you feeling a bit underwhelmed…

It’s been a while since I published ‘A Weekend’ post and there were so many great articles and sales to post! Last night, I had a grand to-do list, as I usually do, and I ended up falling asleep at…
I’ve never been one for big birthday celebrations. I prefer my own intimate group of people, enjoying each other’s company and celebrating with a new experience or at a new place. We contemplated all the typical birthday scenarios; brunch, dinner…
Thank you to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! I’m so grateful for all of you! When Jen sent me these photos, I had no idea she had shot several of them in black and white. There…
I have been so on the go lately that these calm and serene interiors look so inviting to me. This monochromatic space is a two-bedroom, apartment in Sweden. There are so many details that make this home special. For example,…
If you remember a few weeks back. I wrote about my lavish stay at Nafplia Palace Hotel, here. This week, I’m sharing a glimpse of the winding streets and bougainvillea-lined buildings that make this city so special. Not to mention,…

I absolutely love this dress– perfect for a view of the sunset on Oia or wandering the lavender fields of Provence. This blush, embroidered cami is on major sale and pairs perfectly with your Summer whites What’s not to love…
This weekend was so hot…I could barely think about anything else than cold, gelato and lounging around in next to nothing. Dog days of Summer have arrived….The heat, especially the humidity make me so lazy. And for someone who is…

In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
