Twinning.

Olivia is such a ray of sunshine. I think you can see it in these photos. This year has been such a big year for her growth. She's one of the funniest and brightest kindergartners I know. Naturally. Being her mom is one of the most rewarding jobs of all time. I wish I could take credit for her personality but I think Livie just has all sorts of goodness in her. She is caring and protective of her sister. She adores her father. She is thoughtful and makes little gifts for her grandparents. She works hard on her school work and she is a gifted little artist. I love seeing her creativity blossom.

If 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.

Thursday loves...yes, I'm here!

Oh my lord. It was just Monday and here I am posting at nearly 5pm on Thursday. I realize I need to get my schedule under control. Noted.

Red, red wine...

What's not to love about today? Roses, candy and the color RED! I woke up to a dozen roses and I am not complaining. My girls - pink carnations. So utterly sweet. Cupid is not stupid.

A love affair with dresses.

I picked up this dress in December because dresses are my jam. I'm sure you're shocked at this new revelation. It was reasonably priced back then - much to my chagrin, I returned two items yesterday @ Topshop and this dress is now on super sale to the tune of a whopping $40. Darn it. This always happens to me. Swear. <today is your lucky day because I found the exact one online and linked it below>

Bell.

This is the time of year where I completely struggle with fashion. I am not invigorated to wear brights and I am totally tired of wearing denim. All things considered, Chicago has seen a great winter...we've suffered much more in the past. Still...those grey days can really get a girl down and I've found myself resorting to black....a lot!

Grunge.

Lately I've been wanting to change up my usual sartorial choices. Sometimes I don't feel my inner girlie girl. For this look, I wanted to punch it up with a textured, layered look. My cami is faux leather and could definitely be worn alone, however; I thought it would be fun to add an extra layer of warmth rather than put it on reserve for warmer temps. My boots are from Zara. I reach for them constantly and I love the way they look with tights and dresses, too.

Peachy sheen.

I'm testing a new format, friends and I hope you'll opine on whether or not you like it. I can take it either way!

Maintaining my blog has become a lotta work on top of a very full time job and more importantly, my time with my family.

Everyday sequins.

I'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. It's even more stunning in person.
