It’s officially Thanksgiving week and I’m sharing the first of 2 looks on what to wear to kick off the holiday festivities. While I love holiday traditions, I especially enjoy Thanksgiving because it’s not how you necessarily celebrate it, but…
Press Play ▼ Fall florals are no new trend to the fashion world come Fall, so what is it about this dress that makes it one of my favorite purchases this season? It happens to combine not only moody florals but…
Perhaps it’s the post-holiday daze that has me feeling uninspired of sorts. Or the dreary, January weather that makes it entirely more difficult to get dressed in the mornings. I’ve been feeling a lack of creativity, a silence in my…
Focus; a concept I can barely hold on to these past couple of months. Yes, I see the irony… Perhaps it’s that the year feels as if it’s on fast forward, headed directly for the holidays. Upcoming trips, end of…
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,…
Reading magazines in this dreamy black and blue living room while having an afternoon snack of nut, quinoa and chocolate bars….
Since I had been completely down this weekend with a bad cold…let’s be real, I’m as sick as a dog, but nevertheless, there was no way I was going to pull off looking somewhat functional without some help. I found…
Sorry for the radio silence, friends! I’ve been working on so many good things that I can’t wait to share with all of you. Not to mention, I’ve been trying to soak up all the great info from ALT…
A few years ago I threw my own spooky Halloween Fête and loved coming up with all the spooky and mysterious details. Since I’ve already decorated for Christmas for the Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge, I’ve skipped over poor Hallow’s…
My version of scary is equivalent to watching Hocus Pocus. I’m not much for horror flicks, haunted houses or even corn mazes. Call me boring, but I don’t want to pay for a dose of anxiety. That being said, moody…
To welcome October, I’ve got a dark moodboard, filled with berry colors and moody elements. Grey days, drizzling rain and leaves falling to the ground. Fall is here in all it’s glory. October has me thinking of glasses of red…
I absolutely fell in love with this kitchen the moment I saw it. Moody and mysterious yet subtle and glamorous! Copper accents, charcoal gray and touches of brass. Sigh! {Photo from Dering Hall} I put together a few elements to…
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
