There is something incredibly soothing about this home and sure it probably has to do with the monochromatic tones, minimal furniture and interesting textures. Linens and velvets happily coexist in the same room with marble and metals. And despite all…
When thinking of what attracts me most to a space, it tends to be the balance and unexpected juxtaposition of styles. This kitchen, with it’s exposed beams and eye-catching chandelier creates a perfect harmony of design styles. It’s slightly industrial,…
I find myself intentionally dozing off on the sofa these days, curled up in a big blanket, Palmer at my feet and the warm glow of Christmas lights. The shine on my bejeweled stocking and the little gifts that I…
This home first caught my attention with it’s stunning and airy kitchen! I was so excited to find the rest of the space is just as on point. If Scandinavian design has taught me one thing, it’s that a color…
This dark and moody home belongs to the interior designer and stylist, Lotta Agatons. While I tend to lean more towards bright and white, dark and moody spaces always call to me. Perhaps it’s the fact that they are cozy,…
Where do I start with this apartment? I love everything about it- from it’s quaint outdoor seating area to it’s white-washed hardwood floors and rustic decor. Obviously, quite Scandinavian in design, I simply want to lounge around on that white…
A few years back, I shared an apartment that was in an old, converted. I loved the history behind the building and the 20 foot ceilings. Today’s home tour, was also once a Jewish school in New York and was…
When the front door is the perfect shade of blue, you know something good is on the inside. This Victorian home in Melbourne is give a stylish update with the monochromatic décor and beautiful pieces of art. Coincidentally, the home is…
White. Out. This home, that sits quietly on Grotto Bay in South Africa, looks like a slice of heaven. White and crisp but relaxed and inviting. I especially love the large, white plank floors that are quintessential of a beach-side…
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…
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…
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,…
I never thought I would be so drawn to a space with that much concrete and industrial touches…but then again, they have chickens. This gorgeous home is located down under and should be considered the epitome of “refined farm-house chic”.…
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of agrotourism ever since I went ‘glamping’. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, ‘agrotourism’ is exactly how it sounds- basically tourism that brings visitors to a ranch or farm. I’ve always…
This home caught my attention a while back not only for the gorgeous kitchen but for it’s perfect color palette. That pale shade of blue is a color I’m constantly tempted by but never seem to take the risk. I…
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
