I feel like I talk about this all the time, but Mitch and I had a rough time decorating our current home. For the time being, we’re renters–and we’ve found difficulty in investing in anything for the apartment, as we view it as temporary. I mean, how could we possibly predict what our future home will look like, and whether the pieces we purchased for this apartment will work in a permanent space, too? The struggle!

My First “Investment Bag” — And Living a Simpler Life

Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM (Secondhand bags available here) / LOFT Top c/o — Similar here and here / Converse Sneakers c/o KicksUSA / Hudson Jeans (Super Old. Already mourning their inevitable destruction.) / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o / J.Crew Earrings / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair from Tory Burch and this similar pair by Ray-Ban)

I’m a very lucky girl. Through Kelly in the City, I’ve been able to work with amazing brands and take part in incredible partnerships, which–in turn–have led to a wardrobe I never dreamt of having before this blog came along.

Again, I’m very lucky.

(Thank you!)

What to Wear to Chicago’s Summer Festivals

Garnet Hill Dress c/o / Converse “Shoreline” Sneakers c/o Kicks USA / Kate Spade Bracelet (Old, similar here) / Vera Bradley Backpack c/o / Uniqlo Sunglasses c/o / Moon and Lola Earrings c/o Tuckernuck

Summer in Chicago is the best, and the city’s festivals and street fairs can’t be beat. Recently, Mitch and I have fallen into the wonderful habit of hitting up as many of ’em as possible on the weekends, and it’s been so much fun! Yesterday, we attended Ribfest (as amazing as it sounds) and Midsommarfest. We also may have spent way too long at HopLeaf, downing the establishment’s famous mussels and frites. ;) Today, we’re going to the Old Town Art Fair, which Mitch attended several times as a kid while growing up in Lincoln Park. (Happy memories!)

Guest Attire for Beachy Weddings

DRESSBAR by Dressbarn Maxi Dress c/o

As evidenced in my blog content as of late, I freaking love weddings. Everything about them, really. I love watching the groom’s face as his bride walks down the aisle. I love watching parents as their children dance their first dance as a married couple. I love the personal touches. I love seeing the gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses. I love hearing toasts, meeting families, getting dressed up and breakin’ it down. Like I said, I love everything.

Patrick and Kim’s Rehearsal

White House Black Market Dress / Vineyard Vines Tie

It’s hard to believe that Patrick and Kim’s rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (and Kim’s birthday!) were nearly a week ago.

What?!

Wasn’t I just searching high and low for my favorite earrings–thanks for coming to my rescue, Tuckernuck and Moon and Lola!–and deciding between Lilly dresses? (The two that I was between were old “super sale” finds, but Lilly never goes out of style! Option One // Option Two)
