Giddy in Gingham
Gingham is the summer equivalent of a classic plaid around the holidays. You start seeing the pattern in stores as the season approaches and then it's everywhere! …
White Dress Weather
As I mentioned in one of my recent posts, one of my favorite things about warmer weather is being able to wear dresses outside without wearing tights or a coat! This white ba&sh is the perfect weight and I love the silhouette of it. …
Off The Shoulder Springtime Sundress
With temperatures in the 80s today it seems that Summertime Chi is closer than we'd think. After the winter we've had in Chicago, I am SO ready for it! One of my favorite things about spring and summer is breaking out the sundresses and being able to leave the house without a jacket!

What I Wore For My Birthday Dinner
My birthday was earlier this week and as a part of this year's bday celebrations I got to go to BLVD in the West Loop (shown below) for dinner! BLVD has this swanky "Old Hollywood" vibe to it, so I knew that I wanted to wear a fun dress for dinner! I fell in love with this Show Me Your Mumu dress and I knew that I'd found my birthday outfit.
