Happy Friday! What is everyone up to this weekend? This is my last weekend before my summer starts getting really crazy with weddings, wedding events, work travel and personal travel. Needless to say I just need a weekend to relax and enjoy this beautiful Chicago weather before everything starts getting so crazy busy! Anyways, I wanted to talk today about Fast Fashion. When shopping I like to get inspiration from what some of my favorite celebrities, fashion icons and even favorite bloggers are wearing and how […]
Staying Trendy on a Budget!

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 […]
Travel Guide: Sonoma, California
Happy Friday everyone! I’m so excited to finally share with you part one of our mini-moon, a travel guide for Sonoma California! You’re probably wondering what the heck a “mini-moon” is and why I keep referring to it as such. Basically, this is what we are calling the trip after our wedding instead of calling it our honeymoon. We had to make a little lemonade out of some sour lemons we were given at the beginning of this year and made the decision to […]
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. […]
Monday Blues and Greek Easter Traditions
Its Monday and I’m feeling even more sluggish than usual. After all the delicious food that I ate at Easter yesterday, I just want to crawl under my desk at work and take a nap! Did everyone have a great weekend? The weather in Chicago was PERFECT, finally a beautiful spring weekend! Saturday I headed to Parlor in Wicker Park for a friends engagement party. They have been dating for seven years, I am so happy for them!! If you are ever in Chicago, Parlor is […]
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

This website allows you to connect with other women in the industry for support and encouragement. I’ve learned a lot from […]
