While I’m working on blog posts to highlight each of these fabulous outfits, I thought it would be fun to share a bit of a roundup of the looks I wore to New York Fashion Week. It happened to be perfect weather, making…
There’s a reason we tend to reach for the same pieces in our closet; we find a pairing that works, like that black skirt and leopard top, for example, and we reach for it time and time again. After taking…
Finding a different outfit to wear to all those Summer weddings can be daunting and quite frankly, expensive. I’m headed to a wedding in Detroit in the next few weeks and decided to shop my own closet. Re-purposing pieces you…
The daylight fades into night much earlier these days; the unseasonably warm weather has almost made me forget that the end of year is quickly approaching. My usual response to the early-setting sun is to complain and longingly wish upon…
There is a sense of ease in not knowing, simply letting go and letting the cards fall where they may. I should be eating tropical acai bowls and basking in the Balinese sun right now. For whatever reason, things didn’t…
It takes very little for you to make up your mind about someone or somewhere….Cities, much like people, give off an energy that either fits you like a glove or leaves less to be desired. New York has always had…
A few weeks back, I flew out to New York for a quick day trip and to shoot Fall looks with Lydia Hudgens. It was the perfect excuse to hop on a plane, get a quick taste of jetset and…
Can you tell the difference between the two? Both words start with a “c”, are often mistaken for one another yet are so entirely different in their meaning. Or they should be. I fear, far too often, that I am…
Balance | an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady These past couple of months have brought an influx of people into my life; from old friends from overseas to new faces that have…
Focus; a concept I can barely hold on to these past couple of months. Yes, I see the irony… Perhaps it’s that the year feels as if it’s on fast forward, headed directly for the holidays. Upcoming trips, end of…
This dark and moody home belongs to the interior designer and stylist, Lotta Agatons. While I tend to lean more towards bright and white, dark and moody spaces always call to me. Perhaps it’s the fact that they are cozy,…
As a blogger, and one that tends to write more frequently about fashion, I feel like most expect me to put a large emphasis on statement pieces. As I look back at my style, this most definitely was the case…
I have an ongoing list of topics that come to my mind that I want to write about here. And yet, for some reason, today I can’t stop thinking about horoscopes. It’s almost comical, I suppose, that I have a…
Good Morning! If you remember on Monday, I posted the first of these two looks with a more masculine spin on the suit. Today, I wanted to play up the feminine side; a suit set of neutrals that can be both dynamic and feminine. I…
I tend not to talk about my day job on here…I prefer my two lives to stay entirely separate of one another. However, there is no secret that I often times struggle with my corporate and creative identities. This constant…
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
