I’m really excited to be sharing a monthly playlist here on the blog every month. It’s wild that a song can instantly change the mood of a space or bring back memories. It can transport you to a faraway place…
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’ve written, rewritten and deleted this post far too many times. I’ve struggled with finding the right words, how much to share and what to keep private. This blog is here to inspire not only myself but all of you…
When I first graduated from university, I expected to dive right into the corporate world, spewing out decisions and negotiations in foreign tongues, traveling across the pond to sign contracts or what have you and scheduling meetings on my blackberry.…
I would be lying if I said I don’t get excited for my birthday. It feels special, all my own. While I prefer more intimate celebrations, it’s such a treat to indulge for an entire day. As I turn 28…
I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head that I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s start with a hello, friend(s). I’ve missed you. I stepped away from the blog for a bit to clear my head,…
Today, I’m so excited to be featured all the way down under, on the Blog Society! Jaclyn Carlson, a Boston transplant and the founder of Blog Society, launched this amazing online community in Sydney for bloggers to connect, create and…
Good Morning- I have been waiting to share this all with you for quite some time and I am so excited the day is finally here! I could barely sleep last night! After a few hints and months of work,…
Life has been a beautiful blur lately and I’m enjoying every minute of it. It looks like 2015 is going to be a travel-filled year for us both. Not many of you know, but Petar will be working out of…
Wow. I can’t even grasp that 2014 is coming to an end! When the time comes to reflect back on the past year, I tend to ask those hard questions. How have I grown? What have I learned? Am I…
Happy Friday! This week has been quite a busy one and I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. Which is why there no better time to disconnect and get back to basics. We’re heading out for our “glamping” trip…

{Photo via Hitha On The Go} I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve! Ours was quiet and low-key, just what I was hoping for after a hectic 2012. We dined at Cite, enjoying our last two weeks…
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
