Last week, I had the incredible honor of having my home photographed for a “Home Tour” feature for The Everygirl. The Tour just went live yesterday, and it’s so fun & exciting to see all of the beautiful photos that Coach House Pictures took!!! You can see the whole range of pics & my thoughts on decorating, DIY, style, and everything in between here. I’d love your feedback & thoughts on decor!
Have a fabulous weekend, Lovelies!

What’s better than one post in a day??! TWO! Yay!
I thought I’d go with a range of Coral shades this week – it’s such a Spring thing. Essie’s “Haute as Hello” has been one of my favorite shades for a long time now (so versatile), and paired with deeper corals/reds it keeps it playful and light. Happy Spring, everybody!

Hello, hello Lovelies! I hope you had a wonderful long weekend! I apologize for my absence the last few days. Let’s just blame my Birthday, combined with the long Holiday Weekend, shall we?!
I had a great time the past few days. Spring is in full swing, and fun events are happening all over town. Summer’s really just around the corner now! What are your plans for the next few weeks & months?? I’m looking forward to balmy days spent eating al fresco, relaxing in Chicago’s parks (with a picnic!), outdoor concerts, and a few little trips here and there. Chicago Summers are the BEST, it’s why we suffer through our crazy Winters year after year.

Though I definitely consider myself to be a Girly-Girl, from time to time I feel like injecting a bit of a masculine touch into my style. Case-in-point is this manicure….it’s a bit more toned-down than my usual Spring glitz & glitter.
This OPI color is the absolute perfect tone of navy! It’s deep and saturated, but not too dark where it could be mistaken for black. I’m envisioning a tailored, all-white outfit with this mani…maybe that’s what I’ll throw on over the weekend!?

Chicago is a city with an amazing array of talented artists, many of which are absolute masters of their craft. Local jewelry genius Laura Lombardi is one of them. Her current Spring 2013 creations & look book blow me away!! The ethnically-inspired pieces are made from vintage brass and copper…and they have a depth and mystery to them that I don’t see very often. Every piece is handmade right here in Chicago, which makes wearing these jewels all the more special.
I recently had the pleasure to (finally!) meet Laura in person, and not only is she mega talented, she’s also an absolute sweetheart. Perfect combo for one of Chicago’s most talented jewelry ladies, right?! If you want to know more, or to find her full line, click here.
