Holidays to Marrakech Holidays to Marrakech. Morocco is infectious. I’m a repeat offender of Morocco with no plans of changing. It’s a special place that’s energy keeps you coming back for more. As you know, this trip was an impulse…
AGROTOURISM (noun) tourism in which tourists take part in farm or village activities, as animal and crop care, cooking and cleaning, handicrafts, and entertainments. A visual journal of harvesting Greek olive oil in the Peloponnese. In a small village in…
THE CROWD WAS COOL – MOST READING BOOKS WHILE SOAKING UP THE AEGEAN SUN; A MELANGE OF FRENCH, ITALIAN AND LOCAL GREEK TOURISTS. I STAYED UNTIL SUNSET UNTIL THE SKY AND THE SEA RAN INTO ONE ANOTHER. COLORS OF PURPLE, INK AND…
A walk through the central market of Athens Do you remember the funny story of the “meet” market and the taxi driver earlier this year and why I was dressed up to purchase lamb chops. Funny enough, I’ve had that…
It’s only appropriate I picked up a touch of glitter in the city of lights. A small boutique, Allison, in St. Germain always has a great selection of pieces at affordable prices that offer that certain French, je ne sais…
THE NEGRIL, JAMAICA MINI GUIDE My Negril, Jamaica Mini Travel Guide…. I still have sand in crevices I probably shouldn’t mention; a lingering smell of salt water and ganja infused in my clothes, skin and hair. To be honest, I…
THE DELHI + AGRA MINI GUIDE I’m finally sharing a mini guide to Delhi and Agra this morning, the first of my stops when visiting India back in March. I was surprised to hear so much negative feedback of the…
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…
A few of my favorite gifts for the globe trotter! Even when you’re off to a new destination, traveling can get exhausting and be stressful at times. Petar always makes fun of me with all the things I pack into my carry-on…
I get a lot of questions about the rug in our entryway. This was one of the very first purchases for our new home and still one of my favorite pieces to date. I initially knew I wanted something global…
While my style has always been eclectic, I am generally drawn to the clean and modern lines of pieces that I can transition into any part of our home. Take for example our modern, beige sofa that sits, in perfect…
It’s no secret that globe-trotting has played a significant role in how I decorate my home. While I still want to feel a luxurious element to my space, I love being reminded of all the special places I’ve visited. So,…
Friday Fright: Menu Planning (Part 1) Note*: I’ve decided to split up the Décor and menu-planning posts into two segments- there’s a lot of info and it might get a bit overwhelming. And we don’t want that, now do we?…
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
