The time has finally come to share the last of my photos from the incredible trip I went on to Banff this year. Banff was by far one of the most breathtaking places I've ever visited in my life! Mother Nature is so incredible and this trip gave me an even deeper appreciation for the stunning sights you can find in nature and around every bend you may come across in the road. From the sudden snowfalls to the avalanches we would hear in the mountains to the glass-like surface of Lake Louise, this …

Cozy Circle Cardigan at Lake Louise
If you know me, this comes as no surprise, but I'm a huge cardigan girl! I have so many different colors and styles that they make up pretty much half of my closet... This cardigan is one of my absolute faves. Not only is it a gorgeous color, but it has pockets! …
Shearling & Sunnies at Bow Lake
Today's post features on of the most underrated views we came across while in Banff. Welcome to Bow Lake! Naturally, I was already a sucker for the name, but on top of that, the view was to die for! We just drove pass this overlook while trying to make our way to Peyto Lake (which ended up not happening due to an out of the blue blizzard). We decided we had to stop and snap some photos on our way back and I'm so glad that we did! …
Bean Boots & Flannel at Lake Minnewanka
I'm so excited to share the next in my series of Banff blog posts with all of you today! These pictures are some of my favorite from the trip because they're a bit different from my usual outfits. They're much more casual and the focus for me was much more on the setting vs. the outfit that I was wearing. As I mentioned in a recent Instagram, I'm not someone who's out "roughing it" in nature very often, but I love being surrounded by the beauty of nature. Flannel, in my opinion, is one of those …
Oatmeal Heather ‘Something Navy’ Sweater at Lake Louise
I'm so excited to finally start sharing all of my photos from Banff today on the blog! This post was the very first outfit that I shot while I was in Banff and these photos were taken in the morning at Lake Louise. On this day, it was relatively cloudy so it was hard to fully appreciate the blue tones and reflecting quality that Lake Louise is known for. (But, don't worry, we went back again the next day and got to get some "classic" Lake Louise pictures. Those photos will be up soon and they …
Colonial Acres Beach
Happy Friday, loves! I'm so excited for the weekend because I actually have both days off from my full time job! Granted, my "off" days end up turning into blogging days, so it's been a bit since I've really had a day that's free from work, but I love what I do, so I can't complain! Regardless, I'm ready to enjoy some time outdoors before Chicago decides to get super chilly. What I Wore Lilly Pulitzer Shirt - Ann Taylor Cardigan (similar) - J.Crew Denim Shorts (30% off with the …
Race Point Beach
As summer starts to turn into fall, I love to pair shorts with sweaters for chillier evenings. Lilly Pulitzer makes some of my favorite shorts because they fit so incredibly well and are also well made! While I was in Cape Cod earlier this summer Lilly shorts were a key part of my wardrobe due to their comfort and versatility. I paired one of my staple, navy J. Crew sweaters with these bright shorts to complete the look and I was all set to head to the beach! What I Wore Navy …

Off-the-shoulder tops have been incredibly popular this summer! I found this one for under $20 and it's become a new fave. What I Wore Eyelet Off-the-Shoulder Top (Less than $20!) - Black Skinny Jeans - Tortoiseshell Sunglasses - Chronograph Watch - Bronze Veined Turquoise Tassel Earrings - Gold Choker - Tassel Necklace - Dainty Necklace - Pave Bracelet - Crossbody Tote - Heirloom Signet Ring (similar) - Raffia Lace Up Sandals I love the color white …
Constitution Marina
The cold shoulder trend has been pretty popular for quite a while now, so when I found this cute top (for under $20) before my trip to the East Coast I snatched it up! I love the combination of the ruffles, cold shoulders, and the fact that the shirt is pop-ver style at the top and can be buttoned or kept more open. It's such a fun and unique piece and it's become a new staple piece within my wardrobe! What I Wore Striped Off-the-Shoulder Ruffle Top - White Jeans - Mosaic …
Video: East Coast Adventure
Earlier this summer, my family and I vacationed on the East Coast and stayed in both Boston and Cape Cod. During that time I did a little bit of casual vlogging to take in the pretty views and cool places we visited. This video is the result and I'm so excited to finally share my East Coast vlog with all of you! Enjoy this #bowtifultravels vlog and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel to see any future videos that I post and check out those I've shared in the past. (watch the vlog …
