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…
Every Tuesday I like to share a new recipe with you all… but what about how I find recipes and where I get inspired. There are tons of websites out there and recently I keep going back to In Good…
As you all know, I’ve been busy with the Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge and this past weekend we finally wrapped it up. After a month of planning, hunting for holiday inspiration and decorating, I’m happy to say that it…
I’ve been hinting for a while about some exciting projects I’ve been working on and today, I get to share one of them with you! My home tour with one of my favorite sites, Apartment Therapy, is making it’s debut.…
Today, I’m excited to have Tommy from SMAK on the blog featuring an oh, so delicious recipe. Tommy and I have known each other since high school, but haven’t seen each other in years. After a recent bump-in, Tommy and…
We’re already in the middle of October, and the days are getting shorter, the nights cooler and Fall is definitely here. Last month’s post showcased some of my favorite pieces to transition my beauty routine into the Fall months. I’m…
I won’t be decorating for Fall this year, but that doesn’t mean I’m not eyeing some great style and decor. This Tory Burch tabletop, with an unexpected color combo of purple and orange, is killing it. The mix of metallics,…
There’s nothing more that I enjoy than a hot bowl of soup in the fall and winter months! I try to whip up a different batch every week that I can pair with a sandwich or salad for lunch, or…
What better way to start a week than lusting over a ‘Must Have’ piece. I have hunted high and low for the Delta Trinsic faucet and this is by far the best deal I’ve found! I love the curved head…
Good Morning! I’m kicking off this week with a moodboard for the NoMad Luxuries office. If you remember this initial moodboard a while back, I was inspired by Emily Henderson’s space. Since the office was put on the back burner…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 I always look forward to the Fall season for it’s cooler temps, cozy nights and the opportunity to layer all of my favorite pieces! When I think of…
There’s something about a white and crisp office that gets me every time. I love the blank slate and the possibilities that go along with it. You can add your own inspiration, like an over-sized pinning board, or colored art.…
When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, I start craving more substantial food. Something a bit heavier, a tad bit greasier and what I like to consider “comfort food”. I’m not a big bread eater in…
With our kitchen project still underway, I am taking inventory of things I need to update and that I didn’t have before for the kitchen. A utensil holder is something that is always on display and my stainless steel one…
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
