One of my favorite summertime wardrobe staples is the romper! I have more than a few in my closet that work for various occasions. They're great for running errands or grabbing lunch with friends during the day and can also be the perfect outfit for a birthday party or a night out with friends …

Just a Light Jacket
Happy Saturday! As I mentioned in a recent post, it's been quite chilly in Chicago this summer! So chilly, that I'm actually enjoying the 90+ degree heat and humidity in Saint Louis right now! It feels like summer here, which is something I've been missing in the Windy City and the 'burbs due to the odd temperatures. This chilly spell, plus the ridiculous levels of air conditioning that most Chicago establishments have, has caused me to constantly keep an extra layer in the car whenever I go …
Cupcakes & Cashmere Fall 2015 Collection
If any of you are die-hard blog readers, then it's very likely that you've heard of Emily Schuman's blog, Cupcakes and Cashmere, before!

Fashion Favorites for The 4th
It's that fabulous time of year when fireworks light up the summer night sky, it's almost the Fourth of July! The Fourth is definitely one of my all-time favorite holidays and it's been that way since I was very little. For as long as I can remember, my family and I have gone to multiple nights worth of fireworks as well as the parade in my hometown. I'm not sure exactly what it is that I love most about the Fourth. Maybe it's the fireworks, the parades, the seas of people wearing red, white, …
Sixteen Summer Dresses Under $70
One of my go-to outfits in the summer is a simple sundress paired with an open sweater (a necessity for heavy air conditioning), a big tote bag, a pair of Jack Rogers, and some simple jewelry! I particularly love dresses that can be worn for both formal and casual occasions! In some cases, you can even wear the same dress for both a June wedding and a 4th of July backyard barbecue. All it may take is switching up what shoes and accessories you choose to wear! For more formal occasions, you can …
Bring Some Bling to Your Life – Rocksbox
Monthly subscription boxes have become incredibly popular in the last few years. I've seen so many like Birchbox, POPSUGAR, Julep Maven... the list goes on! These boxes are typically food or beauty related and I've always wanted to start a subscription to one, but they've never interested me enough to make the commitment. Recently, I discovered a company called Rocksbox and their monthly boxes are much more my style! Honestly, who wouldn't love getting fun, new jewelry shipped to them every …
