Finding The Perfect LBD – 3 Key Qualities to Look For
Almost every fashionista has one staple basic in common in their closet no matter what sort of style they have. Some are "boho chic", others are classified as "preppy," where as some have a slightly "grungy" yet city edge to them. The classic little black dress (lbd) is a well-known staple in any wardrobe and is the perfect piece to transition from day to night. What I Wore Black Ruffle Sleeve Dress - Slate Statement Necklace - Dainty Pave Necklace - David Yurman Bracelet - …
Blush Ruffles & Flamingos
One of my favorite things about Chicago is that there's always something new to see! Sometimes it's a new restaurant or coffee shop that pops up on a corner, other times it's a cute little local boutique that you discover on a side street you've never walked down. Occasionally, if you're lucky, you can come across cool new (or new to you) art painted on various walls and buildings throughout the city. I love stumbling across and scouting out murals in unsuspecting places throughout Chicago and …
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 …
“Stay Pretty, Dress Well, Be Educated, Be Nice” Bowtiful Wallpaper
Happy Fri-yay, lovelies! I hope that you've all had a great week and that those of you in Chicago are enjoying these fall temps as much as I am! I love it when autumn comes around and I finally get to pull out my cozy sweaters and leather riding boots. (Plus, who doesn't love PSLs?) You might already be well aware of this fact about me, but I love white! It's so clean looking and half of my fall/winter sweater collection is in various tones of white, cream, etc. and that's where I got some of …
September ’17 Playlist
Happy September! I'll always associate September with back-to-school, even though I'm done with school now. My friends still in college all just went back and my younger sister just started school again too. Another thing I'll always associate with September is cooler weather. I LOVE fall weather and fall wardrobes, so this chiller Chicago weather we've had in the last week has been very okay with me. ;) For this month's playlist we've got a bit more country, but the song "Meant to Be" is a nice …

Back to Campus with Babbleboxx
It's almost back-to-school time! I was walking near my former college campus earlier this week and I was amazed by how odd it felt... I only graduated in May, but seeing so many freshman around campus really brings it home that I won't be going back to school tomorrow! I used to love buying back-to-school supplies and prepping for the new year. I got to do a bit of back-to-campus prep with Babbleboxx and in today's post I'll be sharing and reviewing all the fun goodies they sent over …
One Shoulder Ruffles
My first post-grad summer hasn't felt too different from past summers, but with the end of summer approaching at an alarming rate I know that fall will feel significantly different. My friends who are still in school will be going back soon and I'll continue learning to "adult" in my new post-grad lifestyle. What I Wore One-Shoulder Top (No longer available, similar here.) - Cropped Skinny Jeans - Y Necklace - Dainty Necklace - Drusy Studs - Multi-Metal Bangles - 'X' …
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 …
