Welcome to Bowtiful Life! My name is Megan Rogers-Reilley and I’m a Chicago-based life & style blogger. I love sharing content that’s focused on fashion, events, food, music, and more.
A little about me… I was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago and first started blogging in 2012. For undergrad, I attended Loyola University Chicago where I majored in communications and minored in art. It’s also where I first met my fiancé, Cal!
Since graduating, I’ve worked with a variety of companies & agencies within the digital marketing space. Social media is something that I’m truly passionate about and I’m so grateful that both my professional career path and passion project both fall into this category.
As a Chicagoan, one of my favorite things to do is explore the city’s extensive array of trendy restaurants, shops, cocktail bars, coffee shops, and up-and-coming hot spots. (That said, if you’re a foodie, be sure to check out my food account on IG: @bowtifuleats!)
Bowtiful Life is a space where I share anything and everything from fashion to music to little bits of my everyday life in Chicago. I hope to inspire you & others through the positive content that I share here on my corner of the internet!
Thanks so much for stopping by and following along! xo
