Labor Day weekend always comes with sweltering heat and temperatures that make you beg for cooler weather. Fall, somehow, almost immediately arrives after the long weekend and everyone sighs a big sense of relief. I went berry picking on Sunday and…
I’m not generally drawn to primary colors, especially in my home, but this loft in Madrid made me reconsider everything I’ve thought about interiors up to this point. This space takes color to a whole new level. Colors I never…
When I first graduated from university, I expected to dive right into the corporate world, spewing out decisions and negotiations in foreign tongues, traveling across the pond to sign contracts or what have you and scheduling meetings on my blackberry.…
This L.A. home is so fun and combines some of my favorite things: chinoiserie, ginger lamps, foo dogs, lucite and the list goes on. It’s an explosion of color on a backdrop of black and white and I’m loving it!…
What does the last Friday in August require other than a final summer outfit post? I’m sad as we inch our way closer to September, but I had a glorious summer that seemed to fly by all too fast. I…
I genuinely think about going for a monochromatic interior. It seems so calming and soothing without being stark or sterile. After seeing this home, it only reinforced my obsession with white floors and a minimal color-palette. This home has a…
I couldn’t be more thrilled that it’s Friday and another summer weekend is here! After yesterday’s temporary display of fall weather, I’m holding on to whatever is left of summer. Even though I’ve already started shopping for my fall wardrobe,…
It was impossible to miss on Instagram, but nevertheless I thought I should officially announce it here. We brought home the newest addition to our family this past weekend. He’s fluffy and tiny and so incredibly calm. And we’re quickly…
You can pick your jaw up off the floor now… This home was once a church and was converted into a private residence. With original stained glass windows of biblical figures, this space is enormous and so unique. My first…
Breakfast is by far my biggest meal of the day and on weekends, I tend to go a bit overboard with the preparations. During the week, though, is a whole other story. I’m practically running out the door, always a…
That brass fireplace seems to be a common characteristic in these Swedish homes and I’m utterly jealous. I love the brightness of this apartment and while the style is a bit too feminine for my taste, I enjoy the simplicity…
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…
My memories are dotted with summers spent in a small village tucked away in the mountains of the Peloponnese. A village, that translates into “Ancient Kingdom” and is said to be the spot where Hercules slayed the lion. History aside,…
On our way to Europe we spent a day in New York exploring the city, it’s shops and delicious restaurants. After some great recommendations, thanks to all of you, we settled on Jack’s Wife Freda for a late brunch. It…
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
