22. December 2010

So you may have your holiday shopping in the bag, but do you have your holiday look figured out yet? New Years is closer than you think, so last week, I along with Rachel Yeomans from The Working Wardrobe, figured we’d get a jump on it and dropped by Cerato Boutique to try out some [...]

I love dressing up for the holidays, don’t you? Even though I do love dressing up, figuring out what to wear to holiday parties or New Years Eve can be so nerve-wracking. Yes, believe it or not, I was already receiving emails about New Year’s Eve before Thanksgiving. Trying to find that perfect blend of [...]

Holiday Handbags – What’s your Style?

1. December 2010

If you’re a Chicago-native, you should be familiar with 1154 Lill Studio by now. It seems I know someone who’s either given or received a 1154 Lill bag (or gift certificate) or who’s been to one of their handbag parties. If that weren’t enough, I constantly pass people on the street with a Lill bag [...]

What to Wear: How to Dress Casual Chic for Thanksgiving!

One of my biggest problems with the holidays is whether to over dress or under dress. I’m big into overdressing (any excuse to dress up is a good excuse); however, my family tends to lean towards underdressing. Here’s a good example: When I go to Thanksgiving dinner, the family tends to decide we are all [...]

What to Wear: Easy Last Minute Halloween Costumes

It’s Thursday. You’re well aware Halloween weekend starts tomorrow night and you’ve waited until now to start thinking about a costume. We’ve all been there. I remember one year my husband and I waited until the last minute, and wound up going as matching pirates. It. Was. Horrible. The worst part is everyone at the [...]

This Labor Day weekend, I just want to relax. I went to France (and Spain) this time last year; which by the way, is a great time to plan a vacation to Europe. Their holiday/vacation time is over, it isn’t exorbitantly hot, (although it was warm), and you can bank a vacation day because of [...]

If you saw my recent What to Wear post, you’d know my Top 3 Summer Concert clothing picks. But what about shoes and accessories? Shoes. First let me say that I don’t understand it when I see women wearing dressy heels to a concert. I just want to say, “What are you thinking???” First, these [...]

If you missed my post from last week about perfect outfits to pack for a weekend getaway, you could apply some of these clothing and accessory picks to a concert as well. However, there’s a little more leeway to get creative with concert attire. Whether trekking up to Alpine Valley in Wisconsin, or kicking back [...]

24. June 2010

For the 4th next weekend, some of you may be heading out of town to a friend’s lake house in Wisconsin, Indiana, or north or west in Illinois (Galena, Round Lake). That’s what I usually do for the 4th, and despite that it’s a low-key weekend; I still struggle with what to bring with me [...]

Even if you can’t stand weaving through that bottleneck of people that always occurs around the food, you can’t miss out on going to the Wells Street Art Festival. Not to be confused with the Old Town Art Fair (which is held the same weekend further north, winding around the side streets in Old Town), [...]
