I don’t go bananas on Black Friday. I kind of graze all weekend because let’s be honest, the sales last for quite some time despite the Cyber Week sense of urgency. With that said, there is one sale I never miss and that’s the Zara Black Friday sale. It’s my favorite. Zara is my quintessential stop for basics. I always get compliments on outerwear, denim and shoes. Always. And I keep those pieces forever. Affordable, minimal and contemporary. I don’t care if you’ve never shopped here before, this is the year to change that.

Read MoreBoot season is just revving up which means it’s time for you to start thinking about styling options within your very own closet. I shared 25 of my favorite pairs last month but today we are going to talk about the versatility of the infamous lug boot.

I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.
Read MoreMy wardrobe goal is simple - effortless chic. I have pushed myself to edit my closet ruthlessly these last 60 days and the result is less clutter, clothes I really love, a simplified color palette and pieces that are perhaps pricier but 100% more versatile with mix and matching capabilities.
Read MoreThe return of track pants has got to be one of the most welcome fashion trends to hit my closet. Now they can be dressy or for the weekends. I just love them and this particular pair is high waisted making them just a bit more "extra".
Read MoreI think we are programmed to wear dressy separates with other dressy separates. I stopped subscribing to that once I had children. I realized I might be dressing up a hair less hence I decided to dress up the ordinary. Why shouldn't you wear what you love...everyday? So that become my mantra and today is no exception.
Read MoreChicago murals are at the height of their game. I tell ya...not a dull wall in sight which also made for the perfect backdrop for today's outfit post. I love when that happens.

The family and I jetted off to Hilton Head last week for our annual beach vacation. It was wonderfully slow, full of delicious seafood and rid of any of the previous week's work anxiety. Just what the doctor ordered.
