Well, hey there Monday! Back at the weekly grind. Did you all watch the Oscars last night? Yaaassss #teamleo. Finally, am I right?! I had the best at-home spa night while watching and lusting after some major fashion on the…
Hey guys! Did you all have an amazing weekend? Kind of hard not too, considering it was 60 degrees in Chicago! I was so excited that I put on a pop of color and sandals and spent all day Saturday…
While I was in Salt Lake City for ALT Summit a few weeks back, I did some research on the best shops to visit. Decades kept popping up and it just so happened to be conveniently located near my hotel. Fate,…

Every now and again, when I should be sleeping, I get a craving to sit in my bed, surrounded by down comforters and pillows, good tunes and my laptop. A time where I can just get the thoughts from my…

Definitions. With questions of “what do you do?” and “where are you from”? We are always trying to find ways to define ourselves. More often than not, by one definition. One term. How funny that these letters, strung together can…
I’ve always believed that life is about the little things. Details that create a larger picture, a moment in time. While it’s so easy to get caught up in to-do’s and big goals, sometimes the simplest of gestures, is what…
Labor Day weekend always comes with sweltering heat and temperatures that make you beg for cooler weather. Fall, somehow, almost immediately arrives after the long weekend and everyone sighs a big sense of relief. I went berry picking on Sunday 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…
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.…
Have you noticed all the rage for matching separates lately? Who knew matching could be so much fun! I’m all about it and not to mention, it doubles your wardrobe instantly. I spotted this dress at Banana Republic and while…
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
