  • Sequin and ye shall find ✨ Sometimes you need a little sparkle in your life, and today was no exception.

I’m so thankful to them (and they know who they are). What have been some of your biggest surprises as of late? I’d love to hear! Also, be sure to swipe to see a close up of this skirt in all its shimmering glory! Find more of my fave statement pieces via @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2Kzfa #liketkit

  • Sleeve it all to chance 💕 For the past several days, I’ve been wearing all-black outfits. Yes, I promise I’m feeling okay! 😂 There’s something logical (and frankly easy) about wearing simple neutrals. Color is arguably much harder, and more fun, to pull together. As such, I love when darker hues are paired with a punch of color. This statement top is one of my fave purchases in recent history. I wish more brands would take chances on bold styles, vibrant colors, and unexpected design details @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2KnYS #liketkit

  • Great minds pink alike 💗 #ad Each morning before work, I stop by the @Dunkin near my office. For almost ten years, it’s been a part of my daily routine, and I’ve gotten to know the employees well. This month, they introduced me to the new Pink Velvet Signature Latte, and it’s SO good! I love the mix of espresso and red velvet cake flavor - plus it’s available in hot or iced. I’ll pink to that! #dunkin

  • Bedside manner 💙 Traveling the world is a privilege, and I’m thankful for every mile. Over the years, I’ve stayed at countless NYC hotels. From those that could barely fit more than a bed to spacious suites and everything in between. On the blog, I’m sharing my honest take on our recent experience at the five-star Crosby Street Hotel, the inimitable Soho destination by @firmdale_hotels. http://liketk.it/2Kce0 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

  • Wall in good time 💛 I hope your week has been colorful and bright! The overnight snowfall in Chicago has me reminiscing about the mild, sunny weather in NYC a few weekends ago. Also, this tiered maxi is even lovelier in person! Details via @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2K2j7 #liketkit 🎨: @momoshowpalace

Prior to these upcoming excursions, I need to renew my passport! I’m excited to fill its pages with stamps from new destinations.

  • Sweet home Chicago 🏡 Our kitchen is currently in full makeover mode! Over winter break, we added new countertops, hardware, backsplash, and more. This weekend, we’re having new cabinets and a breakfast nook installed! This is a “before” photo of our kitchen from when we first bought our house. See some of our kitchen updates in my Stories and via my “Home” highlights above! Special thanks to @ameliacanhameaton (our amazing interior designer and friend) for guiding us in this process. Can’t wait to share more over the next few weeks! @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2JQdE #liketkit 📷: @aesthetiica

  • Pleats to meet you 💛💚💙 I wore this color block coat and pleated skirt to the @nytimes travel show last week. Finding truly work-appropriate looks in winter can be tricky to say the least (especially colorful options). These pieces are perfect for desk to drinks, and they’ll definitely be on repeat for the foreseeable future. Best of all, they’re both affordable options! @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2JGvy #liketkit

  • Something to pink about 💕 A wonderful NYC weekend filled with work meetings, spending time with amazing friends, and a big strategy session for a blog project for 2020 (more on this topic in the months to come 😉). Plus, the milder temps were a welcome break from Chicago’s snow and cold. PS: which do you prefer- sunnies or no sunnies? It’s a miracle I was able to find a pic where I wasn’t blinking! 😂 @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2JBqV #liketkit

  • You gotta be kitten me 🐈 (scroll to see the “pawfect“ story behind this pic) 😂 I love London. It’s such a wonderful city to visit with so many darling neighborhoods. While we were there, we made a point to venture to Primrose Hill. It’s a quiet area of the city that’s chock full of cute homes and colorful corners. I had brought this @toryburch color block quilted skirt thinking it would be the perfect item for this little rainbow row of residences. After taking a handful of pics, we were eager to grab a pint and a sandwich at the nearby pub. Before walking there, I said to Bob that we should venture into the little park across from these homes for a few final photos. It was blanketed with freshly fallen yellow leaves, and there was a cute park bench on the other side of a fence. Even though the ground was damp from the morning rain, it was too adorable to pass up. To our surprise, the neighborhood cat took the time to greet us! While we were there, the park was full of families and children playing. For some reason, as soon as we walked to the bench, this adorable kitty sauntered directly towards us. When I took a seat, the cat decided my quilted skirt was the perfect spot to rest. Given it’s wet paws, I helped situate the little one next to me instead, and that’s where it stayed for the duration of our photos, lol! Clearly, he they were feeling very camera-ready that morning. It was the cutest little surprise! @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2Jq5W #liketkit

  • Turn gown for what 💛 Channeling my inner Screen Actors Guild Awards glam with this brightly-hued outfit by @oscardelarenta. It was originally featured as a part of the Ebony Fashion Fair, the iconic annual fashion event that took place from 1958-2009. I was fortunate enough to add it to my collection after @ebonymagazine hosted an auction of their archives via Chicago’s @hindmanauctions. I’m beyond thrilled to own a piece of fashion history (and thankful to have had the winning bid)! 🎉✨

  • For y’all it’s worth ❤️💜🧡 Have you seen @pencilandpaperco new “Color Lover” tote bag that launched this afternoon? It’s pure magic! I was first introduced to the company and founder, Gen, back in 2018. Since then, I’ve visited their headquarters in Nashville in September of that year (where we snapped these pics) and enjoyed her session at #rStheCon the year after. We’ve been friends ever since, and I’ve loved watching her company and brand flourish. Gen is a rare entrepreneur who is laser focused on her vision. Trust me and follow her! You’ll not only want own one of her signature bags (scroll to see the latest version), but you’ll also love following along on her journey. Congrats on the launch P&P team! #pencilandpaperproduct #PandPColorLover

  • A sunny disposition 💛 One of my fave Caribbean vacations to date? A trip to @malliouhana (a member of @aubergeresorts) in Anguilla. To this day, the trip brings back fond memories. Set on top of a bluff overlooking the ocean, Malliouhana is truly one-of-kind. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and we even had a celebrity staying there at the same time (one of the stars of the TV show, “Scandal”). Tomorrow, I’m planning to share a detailed overview and review of the resort. Expect to see even more travel guides in the months ahead - stay tuned! #travelcharades

  • Truth or (self) care 💆🏻‍♀️ Whaaattt?!! A beauty post? 😂 Skincare is a major focus for me lately. For quite some time, I’ve tested an array of new products ranging from luxe finds to drugstore deals. Today’s blog post highlights just the “wow” items. Some are more expensive than others, but I’m a big proponent that a great product is about performance not price tag. Since changing up my routine, my skin feels better than ever. I also rely heavily on word-of-mouth from experts I trust like @brooklynblonde1, @graceatwood, @jessannkirby, and @mackenziehoran to name a few. I also love product reviews and YouTube tutorials. What skincare products are you loving right now?
