When was the last time you took a weekend for yourself? Blocked off the calendar, and told yourself that you weren’t scheduling anything? No work, no chores, no outings, no trips, no social functions?

I love my neighborhood in Chicago. Lincoln Park has everything I could ever want: tree-lined streets; friendly residents; fabulous restaurants, cafés and bars; beautiful townhouses I pretend I’ll one day live in; bustling shopping areas; and parking. (It matters. Especially after eight years in the New York metropolitan area.) In many ways, Lincoln Park reminds me of the West Village, and I love that. It almost feels like a town within a city.

J.Crew definitely should’ve hired Jess and me to be their official Tissue Turtleneck reps this year, don’t you think? Our favorite–the striped version–is on sale for $21 right now, and this gorgeous baby blue turtleneck sweater is on sale for $42. (Not a “Tissue,” but still a great find!)

(Chicago’s really getting to me, huh? Haha.)
Oh my goodness. Do you see the above scalloped tote?! It’s my newest bag crush, and it comes from Kate Spade’s new arrivals. Check out my other favorites below!
(Oh, and we’re still buried under quite a bit of snow. But this reminds me that spring is just around the corner! Right? RIGHT?!)
1. Britt Lauren Design Address Stamps. I have no words. Actually, I do. HOLY CUTENESS. Is this not the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?! Noodle’s a pretty big fan, too. :)

Life has been crazy over the last few days. Actually, that’s an understatement. All is well, but I’m exhausted and my head is cloudy. I feel like I have a zillion things to do and am being pulled in too many directions… so please excuse me while I take mental health day.
Okay, guys. New obsession! It’s called WeStyle, and it’s an app that provides instant style advice and inspiration so you feel confident in your outfit choices. It’s pretty awesome.

As much as I love ’em, very rarely do wear skirts and dresses these days. The bitter cold makes them impractical; the working-from-home thing makes them not worth the effort and discomfort. Especially on days when my only face-to-face interaction is with a 10-pound dog who needs to be taken outside every two hours. ;)

1. So much J.Crew, I know. But I’ve exhausted my heavy sweater collection, and there’s not much “winter wardrobe creativity” left in this girl. So I’m breakin’ out the Schoolboy Blazers. They’re a bit more fun that my usual navy and gray wool sweaters… and when in doubt, wear all J.Crew. Right? ;)
