Hello loves! I think the number one question Maria and I get asked is how do we stay up to date on fashion trends and keep our wardrobes current, without breaking the bank?! Stay tuned folks, because this post is all about staying trendy on a budget! This is definitely something that we are mindful of because we always want to bring you guys the latest trends, but we are also both working hard and we’ve got bills to pay! So how do we stay fabulous […]
Wedding Season: What Not to Wear
Hello loves! Wedding Season is officially upon us and there are a lot of questions about what not to wear to wedding events. I don’t know about you guys, but between Maria and I, we have anywhere from 2-4 wedding related events each month! I love everything about being a guest at a wedding- you get to watch two (usually pretty awesome) people make a really lovely commitment to one another. *swoon* Then you get to eat a free meal (and btw it’s free for […]
Favorite Topshop embroidered pieces at the moment
We made it halfway through another chilly week in Chicago! I am so jazzed for the weekend. Every year my family goes to Italian Heritage Night at the Comiskey Park (aka Guaranteed Rate field but I don’t like name haha) . This tradition started a couple years ago with just a handful of people going. It has now grown to 53 of my family members going! Its bittersweet because my Papa will not be with us for the second year, but I know that he […]
Happy Sunday- Shein Review
Happy Sunday, hope everyone had a great weekend! Do you ever have those weeks where you either have nothing to do or EVERYTHING to do? I had one of those everything to do weeks and I am so exhausted. Monday I went to Bottle and Bottega with two of my girlfriends. We painted a wooden palette with our initials, it was a fun Monday night activity! I have been to Bottle and Bottega for Birthdays and I know a lot of girls go for bachelorette parties. […]
Spring Coats- Under $200
Spring is still quite chilly in Chicago, so a great coat is a must-have in your wardrobe! The material doesn’t need to be as heavy as your winter coat, but you definitely need something to keep you warm! In another blog post I’ll include some of my favorite jackets: bombers, jean, moto etc. Right now just focusing more on the transition wear. I’ve included some floral and pastels for Easter! Xoxo Maria
Style Collective – Chicago Meetup
Happy Monday Babes! Hope everyone had a marvelous weekend! I cannot believe it’s already April! I already feel like this year is flying by and before you know it summer is going to be here! This weekend I was fortunate enough to meet some wonderful bloggers at a Style Collective Brunch at Hampton Social! Style Collective is a social network of lifestyle and fashion bloggers. This website allows you to connect with other women in the industry for support and encouragement. I’ve learned a lot from […]
“You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur”
Happy Monday! Hope you all enjoyed your weekends! Saturday I headed out to a Chicago suburb for a baby shower for two of my college friends! After all the shower festivities, our college roommate Amanda who lives in Iowa stayed over. We started the night at an Old-school Italian restaurant called Club Lucky in my neighborhood. If you are ever in Chicago and are looking for a good dirty martini and delightful home style Italian food you need to go here! We ended our night […]
Can you Guess where I got this white vest?
Happy Friday loves! It feels like I haven’t worked a full week of work in over a month, so this week was a struggle! The next three weekends are going to be crazy busy! This weekend I am shooting some new content for the blog with a new photographer. I am excited to network, but a little nervous! I always feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but working with Meredith always helps so much because we are really good friends and she […]
It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later
Happy Monday! Did everyone have a great weekend? I still feel like I am recovering! On saturday I was able to celebrate a new milestone for one of my best friends. Rachel. Over the last couple of years I have really watched her grow with school, work, traveling and life. She just graduated from grad school and had her mind set on moving to Boston, MA. I look up to her for doing that, for finding a job and a place to live in […]
Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Brrr. Winter continues to stay here in Chicago, but I will not let the outrageous cold deter me from looking cute! Jackets and coats are one of the easiest ways to take a rather boring or layered winter outfit and give it a little more life. I have an entire clothing rack of jackets and coats ranging from a motorcycle, leather, down, wool, cape etc. The Midwest can surprise you daily on how quickly the weather is going to change, so you need to be […]
