Yesterday I made a quick stop in newly opened furniture consignment store in Lincoln Park and ended up leaving with new art for the apartment. I don’t know why but I kinda love this print. I’m sure it’s totally ’80s,…
Hello Lovlies- if you’ve stopped by NoMad Luxuries this morning and are wondering where I am….hop on over to Emerald Green Interiors for the debut of my weekly guest post, Wanderlust Wednesdays. I’ll be transporting you on a virtual experience…
Petar is in an official state of panic- every time he comes home, I have found something else to do to our condo or a new purchase. He’s definitely the more financially conservative one in this relationship. Nevertheless, I sold…
Good Morning! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We had some amazing weather here, I’m talking high 60s! I was stuck on bed rest for the majority of the weekend, trying to ease the symptoms of this pinched…
Good Morning loves! I’m sorry it’s been a bit quiet over on the blog this week. I finally found out that my “tension headaches” are due to an irritated/pinched/cranky nerve in my neck. It’s not exactly pleasant; I get tingling…
Good Morning! Are you starting to get used to One Table on Thursdays? Or did I completely throw you off?? Today is a beautiful 59 in Chicago, and I’m feeling it! I rolled down the windows, jammed out to George…
Good Morning! We’ve made it to the middle of the week! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t counting down the days until our Mexico getaway. Nevertheless, I’ll be staying super busy until then. In case you missed…
Good Morning! It’s been quite a hectic weekend but we are officially moved in to our new home. We are head over heels with our floors and the paint color and oh, everything just came together exactly as we hoped.…
{Dusk settles on the island} Good Morning! I was cleaning out some of my old magazines last night when I came across this article I tore out from Elle Decor. I had to share this with you, for obvious reasons!…
Good Morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our weekends have finally started to slow down a bit…Our contractors pushed our finish date for the floors back by two days which pushes the painter back and essentially our…
{Photo via, here} {Warm woods and a combination of warm and cool whites- this room is a natural and elegant escape. I love fresh greens to bring the outdoors in! Photo via, here} {I was inspired by these smooth clay…
Petar and I have spent the past week in and out of Home Depot looking for paint colors and trying to find the perfect stain for our hardwood floors. {What we are currently working with- natural red oak} We have…
{Ombre Ranunculus} Good Morning! It’s been quite a lovely weekend and I feel like we finally started making some headway at the condo. We spent most of the weekend showing it to a few close friends and my parents, of course. We painted…
Good morning! Tomorrow I have the day off work so that we can meet with painters, go over stains for the hardwood and get things rolling before we move in next Saturday. There is so much to do, but I…
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
