Earlier this year, Pantone announced it’s color of the year. It just so happens to be a delicious sauce for your chicken and veal. I would lick this right off my plate… but I’m still not sure how I feel…

Good Morning! I’m kicking off this week with a moodboard for the NoMad Luxuries office. If you remember this initial moodboard a while back, I was inspired by Emily Henderson’s space. Since the office was put on the back burner…
There’s something about a white and crisp office that gets me every time. I love the blank slate and the possibilities that go along with it. You can add your own inspiration, like an over-sized pinning board, or colored art.…
While I love the natural color of olive green and that it immediately makes me think of rustic elements and the Mediterranean, I never thought I would be wanting to add it to my own home. After seeing Jenny transform…
After yesterday’s post, I’m sure you can tell I’ve been on a neutral kick for the Fall months ahead. Which brings me to my next point…Nate Berkus’ Fall Collection for Target came out two days ago and is already selling…
I get a lot of questions about the rug in our entryway. This was one of the very first purchases for our new home and still one of my favorite pieces to date. I initially knew I wanted something global…
I have an ongoing list of DIY projects and pieces I need for our home. Since the decorating process can get expensive, especially if you are starting from scratch, I like to take my time and hunt for deals. Part…
While my style has always been eclectic, I am generally drawn to the clean and modern lines of pieces that I can transition into any part of our home. Take for example our modern, beige sofa that sits, in perfect…

When looking for textiles, there is so much to choose from. For myself, I tend to pull more for neutrals on bigger pieces, while finding ways to incorporate a pop of color and a global touch to smaller ones. John…

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
