I'm such a big fan of the blue china print trend that has been around for the last few months. I've been seeing this sort of print popping up in lots of small boutiques as well as with bigger stores and brands. I love the contrast between the brightness of the clean white background and the vibrant pops of blue. (My mildly perfectionist self also really appreciates the symmetrical aspect of this style of print.) That being said, I am absolutely in love with this dress from Light in the Box! It …

Turquoise & Ivy
It has been unseasonably chilly this summer in the Chicagoland area! I'm not missing the extreme heat or humidity, but I do miss having the option of making every day a beach day. That being said, I've really been enjoying going for leisurely walks since it's been a bit cooler and breezier out, especially by the lake! My mom and I stopped by Northwestern's campus recently on one of these walks and decided to snap some outfit of the day photos by one of the ivy covered buildings. If you can't …

Throwback Thursday with a Twist
Happy Thursday lovelies! Today, I'm sharing another outfit of the day post with all of you, but it's a bit of a throwback Thursday.... Let me tell you why that is.Last summer, I ran into an incredibly frustrating situation with the iPhoto app on my MacBook and I lost an entire photo shoot before I was able to share it here on the blog! Bummer, right? Well, the weirdest thing happened a few months ago and while my computer was running some updates, my iPhoto app popped up saying that there were …
Memorial Day Weekend
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend with your friends and family! This year, one of the ways I celebrated Memorial Day Weekend was to visit the Chicago Botanic gardens on Saturday. I absolutely love the gardens and it’s one of my favorite locations for blog shoots and long walks. I was feeling a tad patriotic so I decided to wear some red, white, and blue as well as my fun new watch from JORD for the trip! I love the style of this koa & rose gold watch and the …
