I don't think there is a greater invention than the chambray jogger. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone that disagrees with this statement. It's the perfect transitional piece for a Chicagoan who is dealing with Mother Nature's volatile temper. I know you feel me Midwesterners...
Read MoreI'm sitting here in full mom-panic-mode. Olivia is turning 5 in May and I have done zilch in terms of planning this birthday. I mean zero. (don't tell her!) As a busy mom, I was pretty proud of myself for getting the evite out. Yeah, that's because for the last five years I've been handwriting and co-designing these gorgeous birthday invitations only for them to end up in someone's trash weeks later. So, we opted to put those dollars towards the party itself. Smart!
Read MoreBeing petite has it's challenges. I know...you're probably rolling your eyes but I have to tell you that length and cut are everything on a small frame or it appears that you're clothes are swallowing you alive. The result? A really unflattering profile and a complete lack of confidence.

I know I was all "Spring is here" last week but the weather gods played different this past weekend. What you see is what you get and rain calls for black in my books. Don't you agree?
Read MoreDo you smell summer? Fresh cut grass. Popsicles. Denim shorts. The beach. I'm channeling my inner summer spirit to bring you the best in warm weather fashion. Happy Monday, by the way!

I received my first this week and I am over the moon about how beautifully it was packaged and how unique every item was...which is different than ALL the subscription boxes out there. This one felt special. As if my bestie had hand selected each item specific to my likes and lifestyle.
The colors alone warranted an audible squeal on my part as I opened up my box!

I sought out color in a big way...there's only so many parkas you can wear in these style posts! Slowly I ditched the layers and the boots to present day April...which happens to be a shit ton of rain! Oh Chicago!
