It’s 11 pm… I’m listening to Buddha Bar and rubbing an aloe plant all over my face. I’m eating my usual 4 pieces of dark chocolate with sea salt and planning the details of my upcoming trips. It’s good to…
Good Morning! Did you all have a wonderful holiday weekend? For those of you that celebrated, Happy Easter! This weekend was extremely productive and I managed to squeeze in a bit of fun. I’m finally starting to feel like myself…
I am so overwhelmed with gratitude by all your kind words, strength and encouragement and above all, genuine compassion for Monday’s post. I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t terrified to put those those thoughts and feelings…
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…
Happy Hump Day! March can feel free to speed up. Phew, what a month! But we’re half way through the week and before you know it, it will be Friday 5 pm and time for a glass of vino…or two!…
Breakfast has to be my favorite meal of the day. Unfortunately, I rarely get to indulge in a lavish spread during the work week. However, when the weekend roles around, I’m always experimenting with different recipes. From quiches to one…
So….I decided not to write a personal post yesterday. Well, I wrote it, I just wasn’t ready to publish it yet. So, instead, today we have a really dreamy black and white apartment to oogle. And yes, I avoid my…
Happy Humpday! It’s the middle of the week and I’ve got ideas brewing! We all can’t deny that fiddle leaf fig trees were oh-so popular in the past couple of years and for good reason. I too, have one in my…
Well, hello March! This time of year, as we slowly transition from Winter to Spring, cold to warm, my body and skin tend to get a bit out of whack. So, when this article popped up in my feed about…
Well, hey there Monday! Back at the weekly grind. Did you all watch the Oscars last night? Yaaassss #teamleo. Finally, am I right?! I had the best at-home spa night while watching and lusting after some major fashion on the…
Well this space is so incredibly different than last week’s ornate home. Unlike last week’s home tour, this home in Moscow is minimal, monochrome and modern. MMM! But just as fabulous! Even as a minimal apartment, this space has a…
Hey guys! Did you all have an amazing weekend? Kind of hard not too, considering it was 60 degrees in Chicago! I was so excited that I put on a pop of color and sandals and spent all day Saturday…
If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve probably noticed that I’ve recently tagged my images with @liketkit. I’ve been wanting to get on board with this for quite a while and am pretty excited to be able to share…
I’ve never considered myself to be a morning person, in fact, I tend to work my best in the evening hours with a candle and relaxing music. There are those mornings that I wake up earlier than usual, and catch…
There are just some spaces that simply take your breath away. You sit there, staring at a home that came together so beautifully and you’re speechless. Friends, I present to you this stunner! Where do I start? Honestly… The bones…
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
