White Lace

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with some of my favorite Chicago bloggers to shoot a little video together: Bloggers Who Brunch. We all got together to have Brunch at Tippling Hall, our neighborhood gem for anyone who wants great drinks and food in a relaxed atmosphere. Tippling Hall was the perfect place for us style bloggers to meet and gossip. It’s edgy, yet unpretentious; comfortable, yet raucous; and classic, yet modern. It was such a fun day, and on this note I would like THANK Monika Dixon PR and Janet Mandel of Fashion-a-holic, as well as Tippling Hall for having me! I feel blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people who are not only beautiful but hard-working, driven and talented as well.

Also, in case you have missed it: We are currently hosting a Giveaway on Instagram! You can win a complimentary brunch at Tippling Hall for you and your seven friends! The winner will be announced in the #bloggerswhobrunch video on Monday, March 30! Good luck!

Much love, as always & have a fabulous weekend!

Sun Showers

Last weekend my husband, son and I went to Garfield Park’s Conservatory to see the 2015 Spring Show, called “Sun Showers”. It truly is beautiful. More than 200 yellow umbrellas hang from the glass ceiling, celebrating both the rain and sun that bring us hopeful spring flowers.

I was so inspired after our visit, and it reminded me how beautiful life is in general. I did take a few pictures, and I initially wanted to share some on my Instagram but my husband and I have the rule not to be on our cell phone’s during the weekend so, we can spend more quality time together. It is very important to us. It’s funny how much beauty we’re surrounded with, and yet people prefer looking down on their cell phones. Technology is evolving so quickly that many of us are barely aware of how our behavior is changing and how our most important relationships are threatened. My family is my life, and I never ever want technology replace what is “real” in my life.

For instance, the other day my family and I walked into a restaurant and we noticed a couple seated near us. And we noticed that this couple did not really enjoy this opportunity to be together, because one was patiently waiting for the other to stop texting. Once finished, the food came, they ate and left. No word has come out of their mouths. Sad and scary – and yet we see it so often. People replaced conversation with connectivity.

I recently read this amazing quote: “Anything that becomes a necessity has the ability to become an idol”. In other words, you can become so attached to your smartphone that it basically becomes the most important thing in your life: “If you can’t live without a gadget … throw it away. If a gadget is absorbing most of your leisure time … throw it away! Life is too short. Let’s not invest what little time we have in meaningless endeavors.” And yet – I heavily rely on social media especially as a blogger and entrepreneur – but I do remind myself that it’s not the most important thing in life. Our family, and our relationship to our heavenly father is the most important gift we have in life.

As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful, and hopefully a ‘cell phone less’ weekend!

Much love!

Polka Dots

Spring has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more excited, and so I decided to revive this simply joy of wearing polka dots! This simple print has such an elegant, yet elementary feel to it and I couldn’t help but feel like a youngster – which obviously means jumping around in it! SO fun! My son copied me, and started jumping all over the place and yes, we did take a few pictures of him as well but unfortunately they didn’t come out as good! Hopefully I will get some good ones soon because it’s just too darn cute – I swear!

As always, thanks so much for visiting & have a fabulous day!

Much love!

Pink Beanie

Happy Friday, love bugs! I am so excited for this weekend because Chicago’s weather is predicted to be in the mid 40’s which seriously gets Midwesterners all giddy (we consider 30s and 40s warm during winter)! My family and I are already making plans of all the things we are going to do outdoors. My son loves to be outdoors so, we’re thinking of going to the City or the Botanic Garden perhaps. We shall see.

PS: Feeling like I’m head swamped in cozy pink clouds with this über comfy beanie. I added this pink beanie to give my edgy, all black ensemble some color since we all need a little dose of pink, now and again, right?!!
As always, thanks much for stopping by & have a lovely weekend!

Much love!
