Lace up for Fall

I have to be honest the last time i remember wearing sneakers was in high school and that wasn't even by choice because it was required for gym class. It could be the association with gym and any sort of straining physical activity that drove me to despise sneakers but leave it to fashion to transform even this to something stylish. At first sight of this Fall shoe trend i think i cringed but the limitless ways to style the look really turned me around. The fact that this trend walks hand in hand with comfort makes this a must-have! The fashion 1....

"Stylspiration" Helmut Lang

Hold onto your Helmuts! (i couldn't help myself) I've been drooling over the infamous Sugar Jacket, made famous by bloggers and the pages in fashion and now its at the top of my most coveted list. This is another ever essential, classic and stylish piece by Helmut Lang. Exibit A I actually do believe this is the most impeccably made (for me) jacket for the transitioning season. And to make it even harder to restrain my longing to own one....it also comes in black! Yes, for such perfection it does come along with a price. And...

Birthday Shenanigans

I had the best birthday this year when i was surprised by my boyfriend and all my close friends in Chicago! I'm lucky to have such an amazing group of people who never fail to make me feel loved! And its never a celebration without each and every one of them. I couldn't have been happier to have them there with me. I have to give my boyfriend kudos for pulling this one over and arranging this, all the while convincing me of a whole other agenda. The long weekend in Chicago involved a whole lot of shopping and ironically not a lot of purchasing....

Camo Calling

I'm back from my mini birthday vacation to Chicago! I had an amazing time and can't wait to share my pictures and stories about my trip. I think for once in my life i was not packed well for this trip! I am guilty of excessively packing anytime i need to put things in a suitcase. Its like a guilty conscious and i just don't feel good about leaving anything behind, i have a ridiculous way of thinking. With that said, i thought i would restrain myself from unloading my entire wardrobe's contents into my ONE allotted suitcase SHARED with my boyfriend....

Savoring the summer

I can't believe it's AUGUST! Not only that but my birthday is just a week away! Although i am excited to indulge in celebration- it also makes me a little bit sad to get another year older and to know that soon, summer will come to an end again. This summer i have to admit i've been on the lazy side and have found comfort in reaching for an easy t-shirt and denim shorts but now and again, to spruce things up i know i can rely on some of my favorite classic pieces like a light blouse and cute detailed shorts. These are a few pieces i am currently...
