Happy Monday! I'm actually on vacation mode, heading on my first ever cruise with the hubs to the Caribbean! Time for a long-overdue vacation full with lots of sun and relaxation! That said, I will be taking a little bloggy break for the week. No cell phones, Facebook, e-mails, etc. (It will be tough, not gonna lie!) But...I didn't want to leave you hanging so I've got a little somethin somethin for ya! I've teamed up with 10 other bloggers to give away a $300 GIFT CARD to some of my Read More

5 Days, 5 Ways: Chambray Shirt
Much like Franish, I had a heck of a time trying to find a chambray shirt. It was an item on my "clothing wants" list for the longest time but I could never find one that fit right, was the color I wanted, etc. etc. So after trying on about a million different chambray shirts, I finally found this lovely one from J.Crew Factory. I absolutely love it! That said, this week Fran and Whitney are hosting a 5 Days, 5 Ways link up. Today is tops so of course I chose my spankin' new chambray to Read More
For the love of lace!
Let's pretend like it wasn't below freezing when I wore this to work. I was clearly in denial that it was snowing earlier this week. But nothing like a little lace, bright colors and cropped pants to pretend that it's spring time, right?! Today, we Chicagoans welcome spring with 25 degrees and a windchill of 15 or so. Mother Nature...what have we done to pi$$ you off?! Lace top: Nordstrom Rack (similar) Cocoon cardigan: Target (similar) Cropped pants: Gap Outlet (similar) Shoes: LifeStride via Read More
Spring has Sprung! Friday Faves- March 1st
Happy Friday...and Happy March! I can't believe it is already March...we still have a ton of snow on the ground so it's a little hard to believe. I literally cannot wait to get outside in the warm weather. Spring means: running outside, no more shoveling snow, taking Izzy for long walks, and busting out the cute spring clothes and open toed shoes, among other things... I don't have a ton of Friday Faves for today because it's been really busy at work. Nevertheless, here's what I've been up Read More
Cobalt Blue and Leopard
I love cobalt blue. And leopard print. So naturally, I decided to pair them together. Success! (Except for the fact that I didn't iron my shirt. Whoops.) Poly shirt + no iron = hot mess. Oh well! The general look is still good though, right!? :-) Shirt: J.Crew (on clearance!) Bottoms: Gap (similar) Necklace: Lia Sophia Heels: Target Do the wrinkles disappear now?! Hmm... Of course, I got some inspiration from the blogosphere, too. Check out how other fabulous bloggers are rocking Read More
