Each week, when I’m looking for pieces to include in the Friday Finds, I tend to feature those pieces that have caught my eye. Perhaps subconsciously, I tend to create somewhat of a color story. This week, I’m especially drawn…
Second week of Friday Finds and they are G.O.O.D. Check out last week’s here! I’ve told myself to behave since I will be in Paris in just a couple of weeks and plan to shop there, obviously, but there are…
Once a week I will be rounding up all of my favorite internet finds here on the blog- including some great sales and pieces we’ll all be swooning over! I promise to not just feature fashion, but accessories, skin care,…
This photo, in all of it’s coral glory, is giving off such a positive, energetic vibe- I am trying to soak it all up. I hope that it’s having the same effect on all of you this Friday morning. Part…
Today, I’m treating myself to a coffee. Because, to say that it’s been a week would be an understatement. There’s a lot of emotion in the air and I personally, feel off my game. Out of sync, if you will. Hoping…
It’s officially Fall and I’m surprisingly quite excited about the shift in season. Besides the usual contenders of pumpkin-spiced everything, I’m really looking forward to more home-cooked meals, cozy sweaters, the return of my Fall shows and crisp, morning walks.…
Happy Friday! This week blurred by and it looks like it’s going to be another packed weekend! Yesterday was a rough day, so I went and bought myself flowers from the market and mussels marinniere from Cochon Volant. The best.…
Is anyone else baffled that it’ already Labor Day? I am excited for the change of seasons but stuck in the middle of not wanting to let go of Summer. I’m currently writing this post, delayed at the airport, watching…
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…
How amazing is this tent setup? My dreams come to life- that’s how amazing! I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather this week but that hasn’t slowed down my busy days! I ended up going to the pre-screening of…
I’m so happy to welcome Spring back into our lives this weekend! Hopefully the weather, blooming flowers and sunshine will follow suit! After a week on a dairy and egg free diet, I’m excited to get out and get a…
It feels like Spring in Chicago and that gives me an extra dose of energy! My to-do lists seems to get longer, as well but with all that sunshine, I’m not complaining. This weekend, I’m planning on having a date…
We made it! Another week closer to Spring! Right? I was excited to escape Chicago winter, even if for a week, and get out to California. I get why people live here. Not to mention, being in the zipcode as…
Didn’t this seem like an awfully long week? Or maybe it was just that busy and I’m thankful the weekend is upon us! I’m going to be working the weekend away hunting for some new pieces to add to the…
This week flew by entirely but I’m never disappointed to welcome the weekend! I wrapped up my Holiday Style Challenge this past weekend with Home Depot and I think you guys will love how it turned out. I shared a…
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
