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…
When I travel, I try to pack a few staples that I know I can mix and match with several outfits. But how about traveling in winter…to colder destinations? I have trouble finding a point where I’m warm and can…
I recently wrote about marsala, the Pantone color of the year and realized I happen to have quite a lot of it hanging in my closet! With a lot of travel planned in 2015, I planned two outfits that were…
I have been craving to make my way back to Rome for a few years now and I’m so glad that Petar and I finally had the chance to do so over the holidays. We tend to cross the pond…
The holidays are officially over and with all of the travel that we did over the holidays, the past month was a complete blur. From being in 3 different countries in 48 hours and changing time zones and weather, my…
I’m all about skin today and my latest obsession – Dry Skin Toner from Yonka. I have been slathering on Yonka products ever since I got my first facial and I can’t get enough of the natural ingredients and…
I’ve been back home one week and I’m welcomed with -20F temps. SO over it, Chicago. Nevertheless, I was so excited to share this outfit with you all this week. I recently purchased this top from Grazia and I can’t…
Earlier this year, Pantone announced it’s color of the year. It just so happens to be a delicious sauce for your chicken and veal. I would lick this right off my plate… but I’m still not sure how I feel…
I ate some delicious food while we were overseas but even then, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Disregard cappuccinos- never enough of those! So when we got back home, it was great to finally…
Wow. I can’t even grasp that 2014 is coming to an end! When the time comes to reflect back on the past year, I tend to ask those hard questions. How have I grown? What have I learned? Am I…
Ciao from beautiful Roma! We spent a quick 48 hours in Rome exploring the ruins, visiting my dear friend, Enzo and indulging in carbs and red wine. This was Petar’s first time to Italy and an opportunity for me to…
I’ll be signing off for a few days, but wanted to share with you this fun video that Jennifer and I worked on for the Holidays! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Can you believe Christmas is in 2 days? It feels like ages go that I actually decorated the house for The Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge, and while we’re traveling overseas this year, I can still feel the holiday buzz…
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
