NYC Again...
Sadly, although I carefully planned my wardrobe for the trip, especially my interview ensemble, I didn’t take any outfit pictures in NYC. The friend I stayed with was so busy at work that bugging her to take pictures of me at night seemed very silly. Bothering random people on the street also didn’t seem like the best idea. It was too hot to even be outside on most days so the pictures...
Backyard BBQ
Hi dolls!
I don’t even know why I’m posting these because they’re definitely not some of the more flattering pictures of me…I guess the frizzy hair and sweaty face make me a bit more human…not that anyone had any doubts. :) I swear I came to the party with freshly done hair and makeup; it’s too bad it all only lasted about five minutes. Humidity is a jerk like...
Bold Makeup
I normally wear some shade of gold or brown on my lids but once in a very long while I feel the urge to experiment, usually when I’m wearing something very plain. When this makeup creativity strikes, I don’t just play with a different color, I go all out doing things like putting lipstick on my eyelids editorial style. At least that’s how I think of it; my boyfriend just calls it...
Picnic
Hi dolls!
Here are some more 4th of July weekend photos. These are from a picnic we had in a beautiful park close to my house.
Of course it was hot out so I thought that a cute little dress, contrasting necklace (red and turquoise is one of my favorite color combinations), and floppy hat combo was perfect for the occasion. Another accessory of choice? Bug spray. The super greasy deep woods kind....
Day at the Pool
It was crazy hot outside during the 4th of July weekend; perfect weather for going to the pool for some fun in the sun and some water workouts. Always looking to inject a bit of glamour to my pool or beach look I wore my favorite steal of a deal vintage Oscar de la Renta swim cover up with a beautiful vintage belt and gold chain detail nude sandals. I think the belt really added some polish while...
Outdoor Music Festival
Hi guys! I hope all of you are enjoying summer as much as I am. It’s been a pretty awesome last couple of weeks filled with concerts, picnics, parties, nights out on the town, and even a trip to NYC. I got back to Chicago last night and immediately went out afterwards so today I am taking some time to relax, unpack, and post a few pictures.
This look is from Friday, July 1st when we went to...

New Vintage
I must admit, I am a sucker for anything vintage: clothing, accessories, fine china, furniture… If it wasn’t made in this decade, there is a good chance I like it. I like old things because they have character and a story; I can just sit back and imagine who owned the vintage items I now have. I also like that there is a very small chance of seeing someone else with the same exact...
Gap Sale/Date Night
Yes, the Gap’s monster sale that’s going on in stores right now qualifies as a valid event… I don’t know, maybe I was totally wrong before in thinking that the Gap carried little more than simple t-shirts and well-priced jeans (let me tell you, 1969s fit me like a dream!) and the chain has always been an underrated gem or maybe they have really stepped up their game...

Black, White, and Brights
Hi again!
I went to a childhood friend’s birthday celebration on Thursday night. It was at a nice European cafe that had delicious Saganaki and amazing drink specials. I met some very interesting and fun people and had a great time. Outfit pictures were definitely the last thing on my mind during the party so here is Thursday night’s outfit pictured on Friday morning, or truth be...
Update
Hi dolls! It’s been a while since my last post because life has been a bit crazy since the last time I took outfit pictures. I have no idea how this happened but a friend told me about a possible fashion position in NYC (my favorite city in the world!) and somehow I actually got invited to interview for it! I flew to NYC on a whim, went to the interview, explored Manhattan some more, and...
Bright Florals
Hi! I know I’ve been gone for a little while but I am so glad to be back now. This time around I’m going to keep things more simple and focus more on the photos. Also, there is no more pressure to update every day. I might do it daily or just a couple times per week, depending on free time and my mood. :)
This outfit is from the beginning of the month when my boyfriend Nik...
