“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

– Harriet Tubman

A DREAM CAME TRUE this past weekend when I wore this beautiful Monique Lhuillier Dress from Rent The Runway. My husband and I went to the Symphony on Saturday, followed by a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. It has always been one of my favorite places downtown. Home to the third-largest collection of fine art in the United States, The Art Institute of Chicago aims to inspire me every time I visit.

And before I forget:

Chicagoans, have you marked April 30 on your calendar for Rent The Runway’s GRAND OPENING in Chicago’s luxurious and historic Gold Coast neighborhood?! Also, I will be attending their launch event on the 29th – hopefully I will get to see some of you there! Definitely come and see me! Would love to meet you!

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

“My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I hope every girl has a jumpsuit or romper in their closet. They are so easy to wear and to move in. Today I paired my jumpsuit with a shaggy faux fur coat (it got really cold again!) and added a few accessories from my jewelry line to complete the look. Also, you may notice that I am not wearing heels but instead opted for flats, Oxford’s to be exact. They have been on repeat for a while because they are not only comfortable but I’m really obsessed with the look. Somehow they remind of my days living back in Europe. Anyhow, I really hope you like this look – I’ve picked some of my favorite jumpsuits for YOU below!

As always, thanks much for visiting & have a fabulous weekend! Also, thank you so much for all of your lovely comments on my Anniversary post! I read them all, and you’ve really touched my heart! I really do have the best readers in the entire world!

Much love, always!
