One of my favorite trends that started last year and is still going strong is the metallic shoe trend. What better way to take a simple outfit and dress it up than with some shine? This trend is leaking into spring with full on metallic sneakers, or sneakers with a metallic tip, or full on…
Statement Sleeve Trend
I consider myself a pretty big advocate of being confident in your body, no matter the size; but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have insecurities. One of my biggest insecurities has always been my arms. So when a trend comes along that is designed to make them look skinnier, I’m going to…
The Modern Fanny Pack
Remember when we were kids, and we made fun of adults who wore fanny packs? Well, the joke was on us because they are awesome. Living in Chicago, I do quite a bit of walking and recently I was walking to the store and thought about how annoying it was to carry my entire purse when…
My Christmas Wish List
My family and I do Secret Santa every year and instead of sending them ideas directly, I thought..why not make a blog post out of it! You’ll notice that most of my choices are winter related. It’s about to get real here in Chicago and I figured I better start preparing now. Scroll down to…
Patterns and Rugs
AG Jeans : Similar here / BCBG Shoes: Here Patterns are fun, I don’t think anyone can deny that. I got this stunning rug at Modern Cooperative in Pilsen and just fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It inspired my outfit on this day and since I love mixing patterns, it inspired…
Fall’s Most Wanted List
Every time the seasons change, I seem to re-evaluate my wardrobe. And every single time, I decide I need a whole new wardrobe. This fall isn’t any different! Unfortunately, I can’t buy everything at once so I make a list of everything I want and work my way through it, in a finance-ably responsible way….
Fall Trends For Less
We’re coming into my absolutely favorite season, especially when it comes to fashion! Fall is the season for boots, oversized jackets, layers, scarves and more! It’s one of the best seasons to showcase your wardrobe. The only problem is, it seems as though all the bloggers out there only wear designer pieces; but this is…
Fall Trend Alert: Velvet Booties
You may have heard that a huge fall trend for this year is Velvet (in all forms). I’m loving the look of velvet booties as seen on cool girls Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, etc. With fall approaching and so many imminent fashion trends it’s bound to take a hit on our wallets (amiright);…
Tech accessories every girl needs
Tech accessories have come so far in the past few years. Long gone are the days of boring old charges that you plug into the wall (that’s so last year). Did you know that there are actually purses that have built in charges now? It’s true! Fashion is being incorporated more and more into tech…
Jacket or Top?
There are so many fashion bloggers that I admire and am constantly in awe of their wardrobe. While I commend their hard work and accomplishments, I know that not everyone (including myself) can afford their wardrobe. I hope, someday, to be successful enough to reach that level but in the mean time you’ll notice that…
Airport Approved Outfits!
With spring break coming up and so many people taking trips, I thought it would be good time to discuss one of my biggest fashion pet peeves: how people dress at the airport. While I truly understand the idea of being comfortable when flying, I cringe at the idea that somewhere along the road people…
Orange is the new Black
Orange is the new black is not just a popular show on Netflix but also a big theme this Spring/Summer in fashion! With designers like Altuzzara, Lacoste, Michael Kors and Prabal Gurung showcasing orange in their Spring/Summer lines during the 2015 fashion shows, it’s set to be a big hit this year. I’ve always loved the…
