If there is one thing you can count on Chicago for - it's raging mood swings when it comes to weather. It's totally insane. For example, last week I wore this "almost leather" skirt to our seminar and meetings. Yesterday it was 92 and I was wearing a sundress. I surrender. Don't I say this every year actually?
Read MoreYou'll never hear me complain about wearing sequins. Sequins give me life. And I happen to know a great many women that share my sentiment. My partner and my best friends as a matter of fact!
Here's why I love this little diddy from Monique Boutique. It's the perfect amount of sexy but still tasteful.
Read MoreIf you live in Chicago, you need a good coat. You need a great coat. Period. Now try to find one that's chic, fitted AND warm. No dice. That was until Coat Check came long. Problem solved.
Read MoreI've always had the belief that sequins shouldn't be reserved for New Year's only. That seems like a waste of beauty. I believe there is a place for everyday sequins. After all, it has anything and everything to do with your attitude when you wear them. Today's dress is no exception. I can and will find many occasions to wear this lil number.

Sometimes I have so many fancy separates that it's difficult for me to compose a basic outfit. Which is downright silly given that I have a gazillion basics just sitting in my closet! Ahhhh the life of a blogger!
Read MoreDay 2 of NYC. Slightly dehydrated but happy nonetheless! (Day 1 recap found here) We woke up on the later side of the morning, bed head included, and showered up for an iconic lunch at Bergdorf's. Oh the people watching! I've never seen so many tightly pulled, blonde women in one, central location. Hilarious.
Much to my surprise, lunch was positively fabulous. After I inhaled a crab sandwich and a cappuccino...I started to feel like myself again. And slightly more hydrated. Always a plus.
Read MoreSeptember is here! Break out the pumpkins and the hoodies and the lattes. Fall always evokes a sense of excitement at our house. We are all REALLY big fans of brisk mornings, football and blankets. As cliche as it sounds, it's true and I am not ashamed to admit it. Having children has only exacerbated our love for Fall!
This breezy, top...just one more spin with summer though while the temps hold up. It is 90 degrees today, after all.
