I first tried chia seed pudding at Beatrix and literally could not get over how good it was. Chopped mango and a meyer lemon zest couldn’t have made my mouth happier. I happen to like the texture and consistency of…
I recently saw Zak + Fox fabric on One Kings Lane {a capsule collection} and then I saw them again in Domino Magazine and I had to look it up. Besides the fact that I love the majority of the…
It’s officially time to get back to reality. I’m headed back home after a week in San Jose {1 hour south of San Francisco} visiting Petar and enjoying the California sunshine! It wasn’t all play- I squeezed in meetings, vintage…
A good book can completely transform your coffee table. With beautiful covers, intriguing topics and doses of color, the perfect book can be a conversation starter and also a design staple. I definitely need to up my game and add…
My bags change frequently with my outfits but the goodies I carry inside usually stay the same! Today, I’m sharing a glimpse of what I’m carrying with me on a daily basis! And men wonder why our purses are so…
I recently downloaded the MyFitnessPal app to help me keep track of what I eat. My mom is always asking me, did you get enough protein today? And frankly, I never bothered to sit down and calculate what I consume…
Because I am so over winter- I’m tired of talking about winter, of feeling cold everyday and because I miss the sun and warmth. So, today’s post is coming from a beautiful, sunny home on the island of Menorca, Spain.…
Since I transitioned into running my own business full-time, my two days are never alike. I’m usually running around, hunting furniture, meeting with clients and putting together posts. Since days can get pretty hectic around here, I need to have…
After a few of you asked about the kitchen, I knew it was time to share a progress update with you all! I’m not close to done, but we’ve definitely tackled the bigger part of the project: painting the kitchen…
This year, I made a resolution to keep pushing myself, even if it meant out of my comfort zone… For as long as I can remember, I always managed a poker face, held my head up high and rarely asked…
Spring seems so far away but by the time February rolls around, I’m already prepping my wardrobe and beauty routine for warmer temps. Premature? Probably. But by adding a pop of color to my beauty routine, I already feel better!…
When I was in San Francisco a few weeks ago, Petar and I took full advantage to try the food scene in the city. Craving south-of-the-border flavors, we had dinner at Mamacita and noshed on your standard dishes- guacamole, chilaquiles…
Good Morning- I have been waiting to share this all with you for quite some time and I am so excited the day is finally here! I could barely sleep last night! After a few hints and months of work,…
I was never one to go all out for Valentine’s Day, but I do think it’s the perfect opportunity to do something special for the person you love. Even though this holiday is especially geared towards those that have a…
Where we Stayed: Since Petar is working out in San Francisco, we had to stay in the Marriott Marquis on Mission Street. While, these huge hotels aren’t exactly my thing, it was a great location and had all the amenities…
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
