Even though it’s still in the high 80s this week here in Chicago, the calendar says September and that’s when I put away my brights, neons, sundresses and white jeans and start stocking my closet with the latest in fall trends. Fall is my favorite time of year, mostly because that’s when the best fashions are released! I…

A few of my favorite things
This year I added a few new goodies to my day-to-day makeup collection that have really brightened up my look. Lately, people have told me I look like I’m glowing. I don’t know if it’s the new makeup, living in Chicago, or my sweat glands, but I thought I’d share some of my favorite things! I…
Looeyville
This weekend I headed down to the good ol’ town of Louisville, Kentucky for a friend’s wedding. Another place to check off of my world travel list, this quaint little city has some great food, Bourbon, and hidden gems. Activities I’ve always considered myself a big city girl, so I was pleasantly surprised when I…
Out with the Old
Back in September I moved from a two bedroom apartment with two closets the length of my bedroom to a 10×10 with nothing but one measly closet. What was the fashionista to do with all her collectibles? I needed a plan. I had been holding on to a few dresses I’d been wanting to try…
AN EMERALD YEAR
PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR I’m so excited that the Pantone color of 2013 is Emerald! It has always been one of my favorite colors to wear throughout the year. I use it as a pop of fun against the dull dark tones of Winter and find I can pair it with with bright yellows,…
Requests: Summer Concert Attire
So, I’m officially on sabbatical from purchasing any more summer fashion statements. My budget is dead from all these amazing wedding celebrations and summer traditions! While I’m saving up for some of the hot Fall fashions, I’ve had a few friends suggest some posts to write. Let me know if there is anything you’d like…
Lips!
Having so much fun with different lipstick colors this summer! Just discovered Sephora’s Rouge Cream Lipsticks for only $12 and they last most of the day! Pictured below is Mr. Lover, Love Test, and Royal Wedding.
Shirtdress Season
One of my favorite comfort styles right now that will last through Fall is the shirtdress. Great for day parties, a trip to the winery, or a casual work day, you can dress it up or down with a skinny belt, heels or cute sandals. Urban Outfitters carries a bunch of sleeveless and long-sleeve shirtdresses…
Midsummer Night’s Statements
Three of my favorite trends this summer…. Bubble Necklaces! I got this necklace from a cute NC boutique that is wildly popular among my friends, Vestique. Shops are selling out of these J. Crew inspired necklaces like hotcakes. Grab one if you can find it – they are great for color blocking. Lace Shorts &…
What’s with all the arrows?
I recently joined the crowd with the need for some type of arrow accessory. I’m not sure if its the Hunger Games that triggered this fad or the fact that it reminds women that they are strong, independent, and capable. I was looking for something budget-friendly, and I found this bracelet on Etsy for a…
