BITE Beauty Lip Lab
 I'm a sucker for a fun lip product, so while I was in NYC I stopped by the BITE Lip Lab on Prince Street in SoHo to design my very own BITE lipstick. This location is the only BITE Lip Lab in the world and when designing your lipstick you get to pick four aspects: 1. The color (of course) 2. The texture/finish. 3. The scent 4. The style of lid. …

It's been a bit chilly this week for summer in Chicago. Temperatures in the 60s have made it feel much more like spring! Similarly, we had a chillier and somewhat rainy day when I was in NYC and I put together one of my favorite chilly summer outfit combos that day, a comfy dress paired with a long cardigan. What I Wore Topshop Dress ℅  -  Express Sweater (similar)  -  Kendra Scott Scottie Choker, Morgan Earrings, Jana Bracelet & Naomi Ring -  Nordstrom BP. booties  -  Marbelized Bow …
The Silver Corridor
One of my favorite spots within the Waldorf in New York is a long mirrored hallway scattered with chandeliers, featuring a black and white tiled checkerboard floor. The Silver Corridor is located on the third floor of the hotel, connected to the ballroom via a plush green carpeted staircase or through the set of elevators with nickel doors and it's something out of a dream. What I Wore H&M Floral Dress (It has pockets!!!) -  Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings, Elisa Necklace & Naomi …

SoHo Style
When I travel, I'm typically a bit of an over-packer and I've always struggled with only bringing as much as necessary with me. In the past few years I've gotten SO much better at lightening my load when I pack, but I usually still end up with a few random things that I realize I didn't really need to bring with me. Especially when it comes to important trips, I have a tendency go overboard specifically on the amount of clothing that I bring with me. However, for my recent trip to New York …

Big Apple Belated Birthday Trip – Day 1 & 2 Recap
As I mentioned in last week's post, I took a trip to NYC as a belated celebration of my 21st birthday. We were there for five days in total and I had such an amazing time! I got to stay in a gorgeous hotel, shop in some of my favorite New York department stores, meet up with some New-York-based friends and family, and try out fun new restaurants throughout the city. This was my third trip to New York and it was probably my favorite so far! Here's my recap of day one and day two of the trip. …
Back to the Big Apple
At this very moment I'm sitting in a terminal at O'Hare and waiting to board a flight to New York City. I am SO excited! via Instagram I've been to NYC twice before and this time around it's for my belated 21st birthday celebration with a family friend who I've known my whole life. She's basically an aunt to me and this trip is one of my birthday gifts from her. (Thank you, Mary!!!) Be sure to follow along on my Instagram for fun photos throughout and after the trip. I also …
