Weekender: Stylishly Cozy

It’s been a chilly weekend in the Windy City as the Irish played the Hurricanes at iconic Soldier Field and runners took their marks at the 35th annual Chicago Marathon (photos to come!). But just because it’s layering season doesn’t mean you have to hide your style under bulky cold weather gear. I opt for knits, cords, and scarves to beat the cold while saying no to snowman style silhouettes. See what I mean by scrolling through the outfit below. 🙂

Stay warm!

Weekender: Wild on White

Happy weekend everyone – hope your Saturday is off to a great start! As we get ready for fall, find ways to transition your favorite summer pieces into autumn-wear that’s functional and stylish. Carry this versatile white dress into the cooler months ahead by pairing with some colored tights and lush suede boots. Add a splash of wild with a printed bag and you’re more than ready to take the plunge into what I believe is the greatest season of all. 🙂

Have a great day!
