I’ve been teetering back and forth on updating our kitchen. By no means is it horrible, but it’s just not our thing. This very well might be my next project to undertake at the condo. While browsing for inspiration, I…
Despite the frigid temperatures here in Chicago, March is this weekend and Spring is right around the corner. I am ready to purge my closet and add some new and colorful pieces. The easiest update to your wardrobe is…
Whatever you have planned for Valentine’s Day, you can look flirty and lovable both day and night. The daytime outfit is comfortable and a bit edgy with a leather sweatshirt and tribal scarf. I’m loving how the heart flats soften…

There’s so many social portals to keep track of these days {Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter}, and I’m jumping back and forth making sure that all of them up are being updated daily. Throughout the day, I’ll stumble across something…
1.// 2.// 3.// 4.// 5.// 6.// 7.// 8.// 9. I’m getting to the phase where the big pieces have been purchased (for the most part) and finishing up the rooms depends primarily on the details. Last week, I was hunting…
It’s no secret that globe-trotting has played a significant role in how I decorate my home. While I still want to feel a luxurious element to my space, I love being reminded of all the special places I’ve visited. So,…
I’ve been meaning to write and I just can’t seem to get a grasp on time. Not to mention, between work and hustlin’ to get things in order around the house- there isn’t much time left for anything else. I…
There were quite a few best-dressed in my mind but over all I felt a bit underwhelmed with the evening’s selection. I was, however pleasantly surprised from a few unexpected ladies! Let’s get down to it, shall we? I absolutely…
If you haven’t heard of Tia Zoldan, well you’re missing out. I have been eying her work for quite a while and didn’t realize who was behind all this creativity until now. I’m officially obsessed! There’s an ease about all…
The first week of 2014 and we’re dealing with -52 wind chills over here in Chicago. Or shall I say, Chiberia? Fortunately enough, the hubs and I were able to work from the comfort of our own home and hide…
Good Morning! I’ve been busy, busy this past weekend. Accomplished some major things around the house (even though there is always a ton more to do) but nevertheless, I feel great about the progress! Let’s chat the entrance first! If…
I can’t believe that it’s Christmas Eve already and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ll be taking the next few days off to enjoy time with the family and quality time with the hubs in our new home! I hope…
Welcome to the new NoMad Luxuries! This has been a long time coming my friends and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with all of you today! I sincerely could not have done it without the help of…
Hello there! As the New Year approaches, I start itching for some serious organization. In order to take things with my business to the next level, I need a well-organized and stylish office space. It’s been in the works for…
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
