Earlier this month, I was interviewed by CHICago Style and we talked about Bowtiful Life, personal style, and why I love fashion. Check out their post here! We also did a photoshoot in downtown Chicago by the Water Tower and all my outfit details are linked below.

Red Pineapple Door
Just because it's past Labor Day doesn't mean that I'm going to stop wearing white! I love the color white and these jeans are the bomb! After looking for the "perfect" pair of white jeans, I'm very pleased with the fit and even more so with the price! photography by Ola Wysocki What I Wore Ann Taylor Embellished Tank (similar) - J.Crew Factory Jeans - B.P.

Feels Like Fall – SOREL Campus Style
Hey lovelies, happy Friday! I'm very excited to be teaming up with SOREL and Teen Vogue for today's post to share my favorite pair of boots from their fall line and to let you know all about the #SORELstyleCONTEST that's going on right now. SOREL is such an iconic brand and their boots are absolute classics. I remember having a pair of their snow boots when I was a toddler that I absolutely adored and that were passed onto my younger sister years later. The craftsmanship of their boots is …
Crown Fountain
This late in August it's typically ungodly hot and humid, but it's been quite chilly in Chicago recently! Not so long ago, it was super warm and the perfect weather for visiting Millennium Park on a regular basis (which Ola and I most definitely did this summer.) Crown Fountain, known by most as the "weird faces that spit water," is one of my favorite spots in Millennium Park because of how open it is and how it's such a hub of happy. Kids are running and playing everywhere, parents sit and chat …
Harbor Skies
There are quite a few things that I love about Chicago. To name a few, I absolutely adore being right by Lake Michigan and the city skyline is a sight that never fails to make me smile. I can't imagine living anywhere that's not close to a big body of water or in a location that's not in or near a big city. These two factors are things that I've grown so accustomed to and I am incredibly blessed to have experienced them my whole life. Water and waves calm me down while the bustling city gets my …
Cloud Gate
I've said it before... In fact, I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. I love being a tourist in my own city! When Ola's cousin Asia came to visit a few weeks ago a bunch of us met up downtown for a trip to Cloud Gate (AKA The Bean) and dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Vapiano. Naturally, Ola and I ended up doing a mini impromptu outfit of the day shoot in the garden and by The Bean. This post is the result of that! photography by Ola Wysocki What I …
China Doll
I'm such a big fan of the blue china print trend that has been around for the last few months. I've been seeing this sort of print popping up in lots of small boutiques as well as with bigger stores and brands. I love the contrast between the brightness of the clean white background and the vibrant pops of blue. (My mildly perfectionist self also really appreciates the symmetrical aspect of this style of print.) That being said, I am absolutely in love with this dress from Light in the Box! It …
My Kind of Town – Country Classics Giveaway
I'm very excited to announce that for today's post I've teamed up with one of my favorite North Shore boutiques to give away one of their exclusively designed Lilly Pulitzer Chicago-themed Murfee Scarves on my Instagram! (Details for how to enter will be at the bottom of this post.) I've been going to Country Classics since I was in high school and I've purchased numerous Lilly items there for special occasions like homecoming, baccalaureate, etc. They have a huge selection of Lilly and they've …
Turquoise & Ivy
It has been unseasonably chilly this summer in the Chicagoland area! I'm not missing the extreme heat or humidity, but I do miss having the option of making every day a beach day. That being said, I've really been enjoying going for leisurely walks since it's been a bit cooler and breezier out, especially by the lake! My mom and I stopped by Northwestern's campus recently on one of these walks and decided to snap some outfit of the day photos by one of the ivy covered buildings. If you can't …
Proudly Patriotic
I hope you all had an absolutely amazing 4th! Today I'm sharing what I wore yesterday afternoon for the parade and dinner with my family. I think the highlight of the day had to be the fireworks (picture included at the bottom of this post). They were right above us the entire time! What I Wore Forever 21 dress (similar) - Longhcamp Le Pliage Large Tote - Bows Arts Bow (similar) - Heirloom Ring (similar) - Jack Rogers Sandals - Wenger by Swiss Army Watch - Loren …
