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…
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…
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…
Lately, I’ve been running on empty. Hungry to do so much, needing to check off everything off my to-do list but not making any time to refuel and recharge. I’m guilty of filling my time with things to do; staying…
Thank you to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! I’m so grateful for all of you! When Jen sent me these photos, I had no idea she had shot several of them in black and white. There…
This weekend was so hot…I could barely think about anything else than cold, gelato and lounging around in next to nothing. Dog days of Summer have arrived….The heat, especially the humidity make me so lazy. And for someone who is…
Good morning! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather was a-mazing in Chicago and I spent as much time outdoors as I possibly could. I forgot what warmth felt like! I spent the weekend in the burbs, which…
Good Morning! How was everyone’s weekend? I had one of my best friends visit me from New York with my godson and all weekend long my house was filled with babies and puppies! It was so much fun and I’m…
Happy Hump Day! March can feel free to speed up. Phew, what a month! But we’re half way through the week and before you know it, it will be Friday 5 pm and time for a glass of vino…or two!…
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…
If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve probably noticed that I’ve recently tagged my images with @liketkit. I’ve been wanting to get on board with this for quite a while and am pretty excited to be able to share…
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…
After a mild past couple of months, I almost needed a reminder that it is, indeed, winter in Chicago,. Lucky for me, we now have below freezing temps to jog my memory. It’s been a busy start to the 2016.…
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
