One of my favorite summer wardrobe essentials is a pair of well-made, white jeans. I've tried on so many different pairs over the years but only one has really stood the test of time and wear for me. I snagged this pair on sale a few years ago and they've been my go-to white jeans ever since! …

Stylish Business Casual for Spring
Being a post-grad professional and also speaking as someone who was in a sorority, I've put together quite a few business casual looks in my life. When I was in Chi Omega I would wear business casual every Sunday for chapter. It was a requirement since we always had formal chapter. Recently, I put together this look for an influencer panel I spoke on at Loyola's School of Communications! …
What I Wore For My Birthday Dinner
My birthday was earlier this week and as a part of this year's bday celebrations I got to go to BLVD in the West Loop (shown below) for dinner! BLVD has this swanky "Old Hollywood" vibe to it, so I knew that I wanted to wear a fun dress for dinner! I fell in love with this Show Me Your Mumu dress and I knew that I'd found my birthday outfit. I paired it with this denim jacket from Madewell when I actually went out to dinner and the look resulted the perfect mix of soft and structured. …
Easter Sunday in Lilly
Happy Easter! I hope that you're all enjoying a your Sunday and spending time with family, friends, and loved ones. I headed back in the 'burbs today to catch up, have Easter dinner, and spend some quality time with my family. …
Burberry Plaid + Stylish Scarves for Spring
Winter is finally fading away and spring is peeking its head through the Chicago gloom. At this time of year in Chicago, I always make sure that I'm carrying two things with me: a scarf and an umbrella. Layering is key during these transitional temps, so a light scarf is the perfect thing to throw on when you're running out the door. As for the umbrella, I do my best to be prepared for the sporadic spring showers that have a tendency to sneak up on us so I always make sure I have one in my tote …
Black Turtleneck & Metallic Brocade
There's nothing quite like a statement piece when it comes to concocting the perfect outfit! Sometimes it's fun jewelry, occasionally it's bold lipstick, and other times it's a specific item of clothing. When I came across this Kate Spade skirt I was obsessed and I knew exactly how I wanted to style it! I added contrast with all black clothing (besides the skirt of course) and coordinated with the pattern by throwing on gold-toned accents and accessories. …
Austin Instagram Roundup
I've been sharing a lot of photos on Instagram from my recent trip to Austin, including the various outfits that I wore while I was there. When I was packing, I did my best to put together looks that I could mix and match. I didn't want to overpack! (I'm a serial over packer so this was no mean feat for me, BUT I'm happy to report that my suitcase was underweight both there and back. Which is an accomplishment for me in itself!) I've included links to all of the items in each outfit. …
Snake Booties on Central Ave
As winter wraps up and the first day of spring approaches (March 20th, come faster please!) the weather in Chicago becomes less and less predictable. Just this week we had a day in the high sixties with a day after it that was in the low thirties! With these crazy up and down temperatures layers are key whenever you're walking out the door. …
Why I Love My J.Crew Cocoon Coat
Living in Chicago, it's crucial to have a variety of coats for the colder months. Temperatures jump all over the place and weather patterns have a tendency to be unpredictable! Some days it can be negative twenty degrees and then the next day it can be as warm as fifty degrees! I have a decent selection of coats that I wear between mid-October and early April, but my J.Crew Cocoon Coat is by far my favorite! …
