It was impossible to miss on Instagram, but nevertheless I thought I should officially announce it here. We brought home the newest addition to our family this past weekend. He’s fluffy and tiny and so incredibly calm. And we’re quickly…
I would be lying if I said I don’t get excited for my birthday. It feels special, all my own. While I prefer more intimate celebrations, it’s such a treat to indulge for an entire day. As I turn 28…
My memories are dotted with summers spent in a small village tucked away in the mountains of the Peloponnese. A village, that translates into “Ancient Kingdom” and is said to be the spot where Hercules slayed the lion. History aside,…
I kicked off my first week of vacation in Belgrade. It was unusually hot for this time of year; temperatures rising well above 100 degrees. While the majority of our time was spent with family, I also managed to squeeze…
Palm Springs was exactly as I had imagined it- a nod to mid-century modern design, stuck in an era of swanky cocktails, cool vibes and jet-setters alike. Each hotel, more well-known than the last, had its own style and…
Weekends are for farmers’ markets, bell-bottoms and fresh flowers. Well, aren’t they? Saturday mornings are my favorite- I tend to wake up early to head over to the market and get locally grown produce and some fresh flowers. I usually…
This weekend was a whirlwind which I’m still recovering from…hence my absence! We had gone to New York to celebrate the wedding of a dear friend and ended up spending more time delayed in an airport than in New York.…
I have been waiting….and waiting to bring this piece out and the weather finally cooperated! I love a sleek and simple shirt dress and this color couldn’t be more on point. It takes the guessing game out of getting dressed.…
Honestly, there’s nothing better than a good pair of jeans and the perfect white tee. Pair that with a classic trench and you’ve got the perfect weekend outfit in my opinion. I’ll admit…this coat is a repeat offender on NoMad…
Should we talk about this amazing white, structured dress or my new do first? If you haven’t noticed from my Instagram snaps, I chopped the locks this weekend. I talk and talk about cutting my hair…I sit on the idea…

I’m back! Sorry for the radio silence yesterday but I had so much on my mind that I wasn’t feeling all that creative. I decided to take a mental health day, to relax, reflect and do something that inspires me.…
It’s quite apparent that I have a slight obsession with cashmere. How could you not? I wear it around the house, out to meetings and always have it on the plane with me! I always keep my eye open 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
