This year for Christmas Eve, I stepped away from my traditional holiday style that was full of deep reds and blacks into black lace-up pointed toe heels, sheer black tights, and a beautiful pleated silver midi-skirt for a mostly monochromatic look. Going for a more comfortable, casual, yet stylish look, I paired a […]

There are so many reasons to be thankful for the past year going into this holiday season – falling in love a little more each day with my SO; a supportive family and tight knit group of friends; new opportunities including a new job that I love; and being able […]

I can’t believe that it’s been over a week since election day. With all of the negativity that’s come out of both parties since that day, I am working hard to remain positive and hopeful for the future of our great country. I am extremely proud to be an American, despite […]

In the Fall, I took a trip out to San Francisco, CA. The primary reason for the trip was work-related for our Fall 2017 Sales Launch Meeting. I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to planning ahead two seasons as we do in the fashion world, but I’m working on it. Though […]

This Fall I am all about long sweaters, drapey details, and bold prints. This outfit ties in all of those trends in an easy, comfortable, and stylish way. With the beautiful leopard print, black skinnies, and soft oatmeal sweater, this outfit work just as well at the office as it […]

There’s so many things I love about Fall! The trees painting beautiful strokes of pinks and golds and auburns across the horizon; that brisk chill in the air that marks the return of hot cocoa as a staple in my beverage lineup; and so many opportunities for outfitting myself with layers, accessories, and boots.

I typically consider myself a person who doesn’t have an addictive personality – I enjoyed the music of both the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync back in the day, I love dark chocolate but I don’t need to eat it everyday, and though I do have a few shows I watch […]

Fall is here. It’s a little sad to write this, but considering that it’s already halfway through September, I have to accept it. The temps are hitting the lower 60’s, some slightly premature leaves are changing, and my fall wardrobe is starting to emerge from my closet. Besides those key signs that the […]

I am SO excited to share my first collaboration project with you all! Through the Milwaukee chapter of Rising Tide Society, I connected with Megan, the owner and founder of The Busy Bee. She specializes in apparel for kids and adults, home goods, and stationary products, including the tee I […]

With college football kicking off this past weekend and the NFL getting ready for the regular season to begin, I wanted to keep with the theme of one of my previous posts and share my top picks for repping your team in style. Whether you’re setting up an elaborate tailgate and […]

The end of the summer may mean the end of shorts, sandals, and white linens, but it doesn’t mark the end of floral prints. Whether adorning a skirt, a flowy long-sleeve top, or a scarf, there is plenty of room in your Fall wardrobe for florals. Compared to the pastels […]

Earlier this year, a few of my closest friends and I saddled up our carry-ons and headed south to Dallas, Texas for a long weekend. Our itinerary wasn’t fully-prepared but we had a few events in mind. The main one being Wrestlemania at Jerry’s House. But that wasn’t until Sunday… […]
