Tuesday loves + go vote!

Today is going to be an interesting day isn't it? November has been a monumental month. First the Cubbies and now the potential of a woman leading our nation. Not sure what's next but I'm exhausted. How about you? Okay, that's an exaggeration. I'm just really exhausted from reading everyone's opinions on politics. All right already!

Let's talk about shopping instead. That's a neutral enough subject. How amazing is that blush coat? That's going on the Santa list for sure! The rest of my choices I observed whilst in NYC because you know you can always count on that city for fashion. And it was indeed juicy. Take a gander...

Savoring suede.

I just want to thank you all for being so patient with my blogging hiatus. I really needed a break. I know life went on for all of you but I am super hard on myself so bear with me. I needed a moment to get inspired and just breathe. 

The real reason I was absent was because I went to NYC with four girlfriends to celebrate a big birthday. I don't go on many girls' trips but it was fantastic. I've been such a stress basket case lately and they reminded me (continuously) that I need to stop and just enjoy life. Amazing food, lotsa belly laughs and genuine, authentic girl talk. My cup runneth over. I've waited for girlfriends like this my whole life.

Wednesday loves.

Well hello! How are we? It sure feels like November. I was just remarking to my husband how Halloween ends and turkeys and twinkly lights suddenly appear. It's like someone pulls open a magic curtain and here we are. Alarming and exciting all at once if you're a mom. Because you know what that means...gifting season. Ahhhhhh!

Today, I am clearly feeling all black. Like any true Chicagoan...well, actually we are feeling pretty blue these days. Go Cubbies! At any rate...six super chic picks for your shopping pleasure. You're welcome. How amazing is that bag? Gah...Santa are you listening?

Fearless Friday: Lindzi Shanks

It's always nice when you meet a fellow color lover like Lindzi. She is unapologetically vibrant and girlie to the core. I often think to myself...if you're gonna be a girl...go big! That Lindzi does. With two FT businesses, I don't know how she comes up for air but such is the life of a #girlboss. From sassy tees to a well curated collection of whimsical paper goods and coffee mugs, you can find a gift for just about every lady on your list. Perfect timing for the holidays!

Everyday denim.

When I think of easy, everyday uniforms...I think of denim and a fitted blazer. Two classics that no woman should be without. On the days I am running like a mad woman, (cough, cough - everyday) I opt for a heel that can take me from day to night. Or, in my case, carpool lines to photo shoots to meetings to happy hour. Might I add that these scalloped beauties definitely fit the bill?
