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 ▼ This dress required no dressing room trial, I saw it and instantly headed for the check-out counter. Perhaps it was because it reminded me of my grandmother- she had a pantsuit in the same pattern that I loved…
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…
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…
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…
Today, we’re chatting all things “casual wear” and how to elevate those everyday, simple looks you probably already have in your closet! I recently had a conversation with a friend on how difficult it is to shop for casual clothes. I…
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…
I’m slightly embarrassed by how long it’s been since I’ve posted on the blog. Unlike Instagram, where I post a few times a day, I’ve yet to write a few words here for quite some time. I suppose I needed…
Outfits these days are less planned, more of a concoction of a few essential pieces that seem to come together in one variation or another. Ripped jeans, a weekend staple, tends to be the basis of my wardrobe, allowing for a slew…
I’ve dabbled in various endeavors… a storefront I impulsively signed the lease for only to realize I felt trapped; I’ve spent countless hours inhaling paint fumes to give love to old, worn furniture; I continue to help women update their…
This bodysuit happens to be one of my favorite items currently hanging in my closet, and sure, it may have something to do with the fact that a bra is entirely optional. You see, I have implemented somewhat of an…
Despite that it hasn’t felt much like Spring in Chicago, in fact, it’s snowing as I write this, a change in the clock yesterday made for a quick realization that Spring is around the corner. I immediately have a renewed…
My wardrobe, as of late, resembles much of my life; a constant attempt of striking a balance. Somewhere in between edgy and cool and sophisticated and classic. As if these yards of fabric knew the internal struggles I was constantly…
Like clockwork, when the days get longer and slightly warmer, I crave a new, fresh look. Don’t misunderstand, I crave a change rooted far deeper than a new haircut, but often times, that’s the simplest and quickest fix. I’m eager…
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!
Actual footage of me on ☁️ nine. Post-marital bliss in full effect

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
