Read MoreDoesn't it seem like everyone is in Mexico? I swear. Envious...a bit but hey, Spring is right around the corner and I'm feeling it big time. Maxis, tanks, sandals and more...today's round up is Spring Break inspired and if you're jumping on a plane to jet set to the nearest pearly, white beach - get on this shopping list muy pronto.
Read MoreFun fact: I fell in love with SPIN classes starting in January. It's a welcome change up to my at-home workouts. Another fun fact: my calves have grown and all my jeans are tight in the calf. Who does this happen to? Me…of course.
Read MoreJanuary always proves to be a hard month for me in terms of fashion. Chicago weather is less than favorable and I am generally in a state of depression after exiting December which is the most colorful month of the year. I find myself gravitating towards blacks and neutrals. Which, doesn't necessarily have to be bad, does it?
Read MoreHello world! How's everyone's holiday shopping coming along? If you're anything like me you are waiting until the very last minute to check off your list and get those holiday cards out. Ring a bell? Good, you're in the right place!
Read MoreSanem is a girl's girl. She works tirelessly to grow her own business but she's just about the biggest supporter of her fellow entrepreneurs as anyone could be. She's a mother, a wife, a #girlboss, a friend and so much more. Every time I see her, it's easy...like no time has passed. I could talk to this woman about pretty much everything under the sun. She's equal parts serious as she is funny, too. We traded a few mom stories just the other night. She always makes me giggle because she keeps it real. What you don't know is that this beauty is the owner of a thriving boutique nestled in Oak Park for seven years now! That's retail success right there! See how she got started and meet one of my favorite Chicagoans!
Read MoreLet's talk shoes. Booties specifically. As a Chicago gal, winter footwear adjusts drastically. Open toe shoes are officially a thing of the past as we hit single digits this weekend. Brrrr is right!
Let's stop and pause for a second. How much do you spend on boots? $50? $150? More? No judgement here but what if I told you that affordable + fashionable belong in the same sentence and it's possible to find GREAT boots for under $50? BAM! It's true. Meet ShoeDazzle...better yet...meet my cute, new booties shown above!
Read MoreI don't think of myself as a real sexpot. Quite the opposite. I think I've been described as "cute" in the past...in a Barbie sort of way but definitely not va-va-voom! I've been okay with that for years, by the way. But! Every once in a while it's probably a good idea that we stretch our comfort levels and do something out of the ordinary. Like wear lingerie during the daytime.
