Jewelry stacks, like perfume, are so personal. It’s taken me years to create the perfect chain gang and I’ve finally landed on the winning combo. Not only is each piece purchased from a female owned business but they perfectly compliment each other at varying lengths and pendant sizes. At minimum, I wear three chains daily and I never take them off regardless if I work out or shower.
Read MoreGiven our new pandemic normal, you may have found a shift in your work/life routine and the choice is not ours to make. All we can do is adapt. Making the transition may not be easy if you’re used to the classic office setting. My business, Oak Street Social, is one of several companies that has been working remotely for years now. When we made our switch from office life to home life, we had to learn how to work and collaborate together digitally. From this, we’ve taken a few helpful hacks that I can share with you to help you make the adjustment to working remotely.
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!

Check out what makes Corri such a fan favorite in the Chicago community!
Read MoreElaina is a petite but mighty boss babe. I met her several years ago at local events and then I really got to know her at a special dinner hosted by a friend. She is lovely. Always a smile on her face but what's really fascinating is to watch her in action. She glides through her events with an infallible grace. I've never seen her break a sweat or furrow a brow. (two things I do on the regular)
Read MoreWhen you meet Liz, her warm smile will undoubtedly be the first thing you notice. She puts everyone at ease. There is a twinkle in her eye that never dulls and, in fact, gets brighter when she talks about her husband or her kids...and now her newest baby, Coat Check.
Having lived in Chicago followed by a short stint to New York only to find herself back in Chicago once more...Liz is the perfect addition to the emerging fashion scene in Chicago.
Read MoreAfter 19 years of knowing my husband, I'm still learning. That's the wonder of marriage. Long story short, I've had a bit of a black cloud over my head in the work arena. Just a lot of weird situations. Anyhooo...I was telling my husband about two precarious situations - one at work and one via blogging - the other day and he just shut down.
Read MoreIt's a special thing when mompreneurs band together and support each other. Today I'm sharing a new launch for t+j Designs that I am excited to support. I've spent a good portion of my shopping money on Tiffany and Jen's site for two reasons: 1. I love their jewelry and most recently, clothing! and 2. I believe in supporting small/local businesses. (Lisa owns her own business, too: BISTM! Check it out if you want to make some room in your closet!)
