Guys, this is the coolest thing ever. Click and hold down on the above photo, and then drag your mouse around. (Or if you’re on mobile, simply move your phone around.) It’s a 360-degree picture, snapped when Mitch and I attended Chicago Gourmet with American Express in Millennium Park over the weekend! At the very bottom of this post, there’s a 360-degree video, too. Doesn’t it make you feel like you’re there?!
Sweater Dress (I’m wearing a size medium. It’s SO flattering and not itchy at ALL. Also available here!) / Booties c/o (They also come in suede. Don’t see your size? I adore this similar pair.) / Kendra Scott Necklace c/o (Also here) / Gigi New York Clutch c/o / Similar Sunglasses / Monica Vinader Bracelet c/o (Love this one, too!)
Shop my favorite brown leather booties:
For a long, long time I steered away from caramel-colored clothing because I felt like it made me look washed out in combination with my vampire-white skin. But from changing leaves and spiced coffees to oversized sweaters and go-with-anything boots, it’s the color of fall, and I always find myself drawn to it this time of year. Doesn’t it just scream “cozy”?!
Utility Vest (Also love this one and this one) / Cozy Sweater (Also love this one, this one, this one, this one, and this one from BP.) / Reversible Tote (Also love the larger version, the pocket tote version, and this mini tote!) / Monogrammed Necklace / Booties (More affordable here, here, here and here. More options below. Love the leather version, too!) / Jeans (I have my eye on these, though!) / Sunglasses
Wow! Today really feels like fall, huh? Last night, I went out to dinner with my girlfriends Shaheen, Jess and Blair to celebrate Shaheen’s birthday–wish her a happy birthday! It’s tomorrow! Hehe–and we were all in sweaters. It’s been pretty toasty in Chicago lately, so the change in weather is a little bit of a shock to the system. ;) But I’m welcoming the change this year, as there’s nothing quite like fall in the Windy City, and I’m super excited about breaking out the cozy layers.
Cozy Waffle Top / Hudson Jeans (Loving these, these, these and these!) / Coach Loafers c/o (Newer styles here, here and here) / Louis Vuitton Tote (Buy here, here, here, here, here or here) / Similar Sunglasses / Daniel Wellington Watch c/o / Nearly Identical Necklace / Monica Vinader Bracelet c/o (Also love this one)
Over the last few weeks, I’ve realized the importance of owning some really comfortable clothing as a new mom. And now that fall is finally (kind of) upon us, owning some comfortable and relatively warm clothing is important, too.
Hello, best top ever.

Guys, I’m so excited about fall. Last fall was the best of my life: the weather was insanely perfect and lasted well into December, we took a bunch of incredible trips, and we found out we were pregnant. This year, though, I’m pretty sure we’re going to top all of that. We have more excursions planned, layers are going to be my post-baby body’s best friend, and Emma is actually with us!
Because I’m so excited about the change of seasons, I thought I’d dedicate today’s post to the “fall things” I’m most excited about:
As someone who writes on a regular and somewhat professional basis, I experience major anxiety when writing about topics that are truly important to me. A post about fall vests? An awesome sale? Adopting a new look? Quick and easy writing. But writing a post on the love I have for my newborn daughter is a bit more challenging. That love is indescribable, after all, and that poses a problem. How, exactly, does one put it into words? And how does one do it as perfectly as possible, with eloquence, organization and meaning?
Vest (Old, but LOVE this one! Similar here, here, here, and here.) / Sole Society Pumps c/o / J.Crew Shirt (Old, but I just ordered this shirt! And I love this one and this one!) and Jeans (Similar here and here) / Louis Vuitton Tote (Buy here, here, here, here, here or here) / Daniel Wellington Watch c/o / Similar Sunglasses
I have to tell you: Getting dressed in the morning with an infant in tow is a bit of a challenge. Simply put, you only have so much time before the baby wakes up! (And it’s not significant, unless you get up at the crack of dawn.) But if I’m being honest here, I’m to blame for a lot of that challenge. If I’d actually unpacked and organized the master bedroom before Emma was born (instead of just throwing everything into drawers and closets and calling it a day), I’d probably be having a much easier time with it. My wardrobe is just so disorganized. I tell myself every day that I’m going to fix the problem, but then life happens.
Emma’s faves: Tucker + Tate Dress (3m) / Jack Rogers Sandals (Size 2 so she can wear them longer) / UppaBaby “CRUZ” Stroller & “MESA” Car Seat
Prepare yourself for some major cuteness!
Reversible tote bag (Larger version, medium version) / Necklace / Sunglasses / First military jacket / Second military jacket (Which do you like better?! I couldn’t decide, so I kept them both, haha!) / Peplum top / Leopard heels (Similar here and here. And love the lace-up version! And swoon: I need this clutch!)
Oh my goodness. I had a very upsetting thing happen to me last night.
