We’re well into December, the Holidays just around the corner, a fresh new year merely weeks away. A cross-Atlantic trip tends to do that to me…discombobulate. I lose track of time and simply let the last few weeks of 2017…
The last time I wore a sweatshirt on the blog, here, it was also not the slightest bit basic, with its billowy sleeves and pearl details. It should then, come as no surprise, that this sweatshirt, and all the others…
To be quite honest, I don’t own many t-shirts simply because my day to day doesn’t call for it, but I have been on a recent kick as of late- hoping to add a few to my weekly wardrobe. I…
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is filled with tables filled with your favorite foods and cozy time with family and friends. I’m writing today’s post from the airport waiting for my flight to Paris this holiday weekend. Airports, one…
There’s something incredibly romantic about Paris in the Fall. Years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a month in Paris during the holidays and it’s cold, often times rainy disposition created a certain longing for the city. I’m headed…
It’s officially Thanksgiving week and I’m sharing the first of 2 looks on what to wear to kick off the holiday festivities. While I love holiday traditions, I especially enjoy Thanksgiving because it’s not how you necessarily celebrate it, but…
Press Play ▼ When looking back at my photos, I’ve been wearing monochromatic looks for years, now. Perhaps, because the majority of my wardrobe is a collection of black pieces. Recently, after noticing that the concept of “monochroming” is an actual…
Press Play ▼ Typically, when the Holidays arrive I become a bit of a Francophile- french music, wine and even inspiration for my daily wardrobe. This outfit just so happens to be inspired by French bistros and late nights filled with…
Second week of Friday Finds and they are G.O.O.D. Check out last week’s here! I’ve told myself to behave since I will be in Paris in just a couple of weeks and plan to shop there, obviously, but there are…
Press Play ▼ Fall florals are no new trend to the fashion world come Fall, so what is it about this dress that makes it one of my favorite purchases this season? It happens to combine not only moody florals but…
Once a week I will be rounding up all of my favorite internet finds here on the blog- including some great sales and pieces we’ll all be swooning over! I promise to not just feature fashion, but accessories, skin care,…
Press Play ▼ Before I left for NYFW I kept reading that red was going to be the IT color of the season; the fashion shows only confirming that this color was demanding attention, and rightfully so. I, on the other hand, have…
Press Play ▼ The power that an outfit can have over your mood and confidence has always made fashion so incredibly important to me. You can evoke a feeling, a mood and a vibe, without words but rather with a few…
If you haven’t already noticed, pearl details are everywhere this season. I’ve always been hesitant to add pearls to my look, simply because I always felt they were too feminine for my personal style. When I found this distressed, denim jacket however; I…
I was thrilled to see that midi-skirts were here to stay well into the Fall and Winter months- these happen to be one of my favorite trends this season not only because of ease but also because they are incredibly…
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
