I’m a sucker for a matching set whether it’s for a casual look or a dressy look.  And when it comes to workwear I go wild for a matching set!  There in nothing more stylish that a matching dress and jacket or pants and a blazer.  It instantly dresses makes you look put together and the most stylish person in the room.  A matching set for workwear is the ultimate style statement. I have several traditional navy and black matching sets.  I love the versatility of them and the ability to wear the pieces separate and together.  But a girl can only have so much navy a ..read more

Spring in Chicago is the hardest season ever.  One day its 70 and the next its 35.  And for fun it snows at the end of April!  I’ve learned a thing or two about how to dress for Spring in Chicago over the years.  Most importantly I learned that classic spring basics are my best friend.  These are basics that I have had for years or am planning to have for years.  Spring always ushers in new trends and bright spring colors.  My suggestion is to stay away from that stuff and stick to the basics.  By the time I’m ready to wear bright spring colors, its sum ..read more

Are you even a style blogger if you aren’t sharing the latest spring jackets?  I’m a sucker for a jacket or coat, specifically green jackets.  I know it sounds weird, but the green spring jacket was an icon in the early 2000’s.  And old habits die hard for me.  That’s why I’m so excited to share the best spring jackets for 2024.   If you are a Millennial or a younger Gen X you lived and die for the green spring jacket.  You either had one from Old Navy or Target, it was made of cotton and could literally be worn anywhere.  And to be honest, it was one of my ..read more

Spring is so close, I can feel it.  The other day it warmed up to 70 in Chicago and I was all in for fresh warm temps and spring clothes.  It just so happened that it coincided with the Sezane Spring launch!  It was perfect timing, literally.  The Sezane Spring line features fresh feminine French girl blouses with bold floral patterns mixed in.  You can’t beat french style, especially in the spring!

One of my favorite series on the blog is 5 Days of Real Office Style.  Today I’m sharing my winter edition and there are so many good finds and key pieces that I’m featuring.  For this edit I am focusing on more neutral items that I will have in my work rotation for years.   I spent a bit of time over the holidays editing my closet.  I cleaned out items that didn’t fit, were out of style and too loud for the office.  And I replaced them with more neutral items in black, cream and camel colors.  These colors look rich and luxe, even if the price tag isn’t.&nb ..read more

I’m a hair girl, my hair runs my life, literally.  I spend the most time styling my hair  everyday.  Partly because it’s super thick and requires a lot of work and partly because I love having my hair look good.  I’m the girl that’s only concern when having a baby is if my hair was done.  So before I went to the hospital (both times) I did my hair.  Call me crazy, but when my hair looks good I feel good. My postpartum hair journey after Maggie has been a struggle.  I’m almost two years out and I feel like my hair is still suffering.  During pregnancy I ..read more

I think the one thing everyone can agree about these days is there isn’t enough time.  I don’t care what stage of life you are in, it feels like you can’t get it all done.  Right now I’m in my “full time working mom of two little kids who wants to be fun and healthy over 40” stage.  It’s exhausting and stressful at times!  Some days I’m rocking everything and others I’m a complete mess.  I’m trying my hardest to maintain a healthy lifestyle and one way I can do that is by moving my body every single day.  I’ve been doing this with the help of Melissa Wood Health ..read more
