Sweetly Dazed

“As you age, time seems to accelerate, but it is not time that has sped up; rather, it is your perception of time.” – Will Bowen Let the countdown begin: Six days. Time for change. Something is stirring. A nostalgic delivery is being hurled at us. The crisp air sweeps up sweet aromas, leaving traces […]

Explorations | [Start Here]

[Start Here] “In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.”–Ansel Adams Let’s welcome the season of rain, blooming flowers and warmth. Winter has quickly melted itself away, while the fluctuating sunny and gloomy days have made themselves present. However, there’s no way to get carried away […]

Snowless Snow Globe

“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” –Albert Camus Though Chicago was hit with a sudden snowstorm, there’s nothing surprising about it. Chicagoans are very aware and may have perfected how to survive freezing winter temperatures and how to dress in style for the frosty […]

More than autumn leaves

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” –Dr. Seuss It’s already mid way into September. Soon enough we’ll be basking our noses into scents of pumpkin spice […]

Howdy, I’m fallin’ for warmth

Here in Chicago, or should I reference the term “Chiberia”, autumn winds are busting in to make an appearance all too soon. Now that we’re at the end of August and quickly approaching September, summer will soon pass the baton to fall. I must say, whether it pertains to the changing of seasons or multiple […]

August: Boho Time

Folks it’s August and there’s still plenty of time to clothe yourself with summer boho fabric. Personally, I’ve always adored bohemian inspired styles because there are such vibrant colors and emphasized details on each stitching or fringe. Boho chic is a commonly coined fashion term, but the looks themselves are very versatile and unique. This coral A-line […]

Prominent, Pure, and Polished

“Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of them all?” –Queen from Snow White Dressing fully in white might have Snow White looking rather subdued standing beside you. A white, simple, and boxy mini dress can unravel you up to be a hidden gem, but sometimes wearing an all white outfit calls […]

Owning the Streets

It’s true. Wide/boot legged pants are making their comeback. My mother, being one of my biggest fashion role models, has always told me that culottes or what I like to term them, “trumpet pants”, were in style when she was in college. She has always tried dressing me in wide-cut jeans or different colored culottes […]

Overall, a good day

Overalls have made their return to the front of the closet from once being in a box filled with vintage clothing. Fashion bloggers like The Blonde Salad, Sincerely Jules, and Song of Style have been rocking their denim overalls through their pics via Instagram. I chose to wear a tone of military and olive green […]

A Little Black Dress

“One is never over- or underdressed with a little black dress.” –Karl Lagerfeld Subtle, simple, yet chic. Can’t go wrong with one pullover the head with a little black dress. With a minimal outfit, there can be more emphasis on the natural essence of beauty in an overall image of the one behind the clothes. […]
