If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have declared myself a sweater connoisseur of sorts. All in the name of research, my friends. This coupled with how many of you loved my last sweater post…I’ve decided to bring you a second edition. All under $100 and oh so chunky, cozy and perfectly soft. I’ve tried and tested almost all of these in person or ordered so I could speak authentically to my fellow shoppers. See what I do for you? The one I am wearing is a whopping $34!

We’ve had a rocky start to the week with a sick little one and very little sleep but we’ve hit our midweek stride and I am grateful for that. Yesterday, however, I was running on 2-hours of sleep fumes as was my Lola.

Copious amounts of caffeine help, too.

I love camel anything and B. the season is upon us. You’d be surprised how many amazing options are out there without breaking the bank. I was kind of astounded myself. Natch, my next thought was… “I need a camel coat!” But then I remembered that my husband would murder me so I chilled out and decided to help you all out instead. I am giving like that.
Read MoreBetter late than never! I promised more blog posts and it’s happening. Sweater season has arrived and I am here for it! I took a sweep through my closet to sell some of my own. You know, to make room for the new. That’s how it goes, right?
Read MoreLast week, my youngest approached me while getting ready for school and lifted up her shirt in the mirror and said, “Mom, I look bloated.” At that moment, I thought to myself, “My god…you have got to stop talking about your body, Johanna.” There I said it. I do all this work on the sidelines but the person who least appreciates it is…ME!
Read MoreThis Labor Day Weekend I slept. Normally this would not be a cause for celebration but I don’t think you understand…sleep is a wishlist item for me or at least it has been lately. This weekend I REALLY slept and you don’t really realize how bad you need sleep until you do it and wake up feeling 100% different. Funny how that works.
Read MoreThings have been a little bit more quiet on the blog front and there’s a reason. I kept wanting to write but I needed a moment to process my feelings. Truth is, I have felt all the emotions in a matter of a week and I am ready to put the negative ones behind me and find peace in the positive.
Read MoreWhat’s white, chic and rosé all over? I’ll tell you! It’s Chicago’s Dîner en Blanc! Truly my favorite night of this summer and also a first for Jack and I. I’ve been hearing about it for years but this was our year to finally take part in the festivities.
