There has been a lot of talk about Elle UK lately. With their July cover starring a man (for the first time ever!) and that man being the rather handsome Mr. David Beckham, it is no wonder people hav...
Chicago temps seemed to have moved into full-blown summer this weekend! And with it came the summer styles. As Lukus and I ran around getting errands done, I couldn’t help but crave a new pair of fla...
I am running around finishing off packing and last minute errands before heading back to Chicago this afternoon. It was a nice little escape to Atlanta (although, I must admit, due to canceled flight...
For those of you content with just standing there, in her latest ad for Target, Coco Rocha shows us that modeling is much more of a sport: Am I the only one tired from just watching?! Image of...
One of the features I am most excited about in my new apartment is the location. More specifically the fact that 30-seconds after walking out of my building I can be lounging on the beach. Okay. So i...
I know, I know. You must feel awfully neglected. I mean, I’ve gone from posting at least 5 days a week to something like 3 or 4. Please forgive me. This isn’t due to a lack of love for North On Harpe...
Very few people could plan a Versailles-located, Rococo-influenced, Marie Antoinette-inspired fashion show and still be taken seriously. I mean how ostentatious can you get? Well, very few people are...
Well a week of florals has all cumulated here. That’s right. This is where I show you how I wear a flower pattern. Now I have to admit, I RARELY (read: almost never) wear floral prints. But this top ...
I know what you are thinking. “What more could Alexis possibly say about florals????” Well the answer is: Plenty. So, we carry on in our flower inspired week! Today I thought it would be fun to take ...
I traumatized a lot of you yesterday. And for that I apologize. I went a little crazy with the floral. What can I say?? I got swept away by my inspiration… And that’s okay, florals all over are not f...
Yesterday I shared some of my favorite blooms in my parents’ yard. As I mentioned I found the environment inspiring. So inspiring that I thought I would take my floral trend picks to a new level! If ...
Friday I shared that I have made my way to Atlanta for some rest and relaxation with the family. I also mentioned that I find Atlanta particularly inspiring. A lot of that inspiration is drawn from t...
You must be wondering: where have I disappeared to?! Well the answer is simple: ATLANTA! That’s right, with Lukus working a ton and me being penned up in a hotel room all day, the timing was just rig...
I don’t usually call things a “sham,” but THIS article on Huffington Post is exactly that. The article, entitled “Most Fashionable Cities In America: Did Your City Make The Stylish Cut?,” proposes to...
I am sure you are familiar with the blog Advanced Style by Ari Seth Cohen. (If not, please check it out- it is really a testament to style having no age limit!) The blog captures some of New York’s m...
With all the craziness in my life right now, it would be nice if I some things could be just black and white. Alas, that isn’t going to happen! (At least not until I sign a lease….yes, I am still apa...
I love when I come across an ad campaign that makes me “wish I was there.” That is the case with the below Hermès Spring/Summer 2012 Ad Campaign. The scene feels magical. I love the giant tree. And t...
In a book co-authored by Judith Perrignon, French designer Sonia Rykiel has revealed that she is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. (Read more about it HERE) Initially I was shocked. But as I began ...
So today (due to some internet drama) I have got to keep things short and sweet. And that’s okay, because we all know a picture is worth a 1000 words. Especially when said picture is a photo of Karl ...
I am in a bit of a funk today. And it is all because of the Chicago weather. Don’t get me wrong. I love the city. But when the average temps are in the 40*s in April, this girl just doesn’t feel l...
There is a new BeachMint line on the horizon. It is called HomeMint and is a collection of home décor elements curated by Justin Timberlake and his interior designer, Estee Stanley. Unlike the count...
By now I am sure you have brought many spring pieces out of your closet. But that doesn’t mean that the temps have crossed into the truly warm category. And that’s okay!!!! In fact, I would argue ...
It’s time for the obligatory “I’m on Instagram” post! That’s right, now that the app is Android friendly, you can find me there snapping pretty pictures of building and flowers and what not. Let me g...
One of the things I love about Chicago is walking. Seriously, I choose walking as my primary form of transportation almost every day! Even in LA, I always tried to walk places. Just feels good! Al...
Lukus and I spent this weekend apartment hunting (right now his work is putting us up). During a break we took some time to lounge around Millennium Park. The park (as is true of the rest of downto...
“Creativity is a challenge. It requires us to be fully human…autonomous yet engaged, independent yet interdependent. Creativity bridges the conflict between our individualistic and our so...
There is a trend on the horizon, a trend that I am very fond of. It is rich in art deco inspiration; dropped waists and T strap shoes. It is the Roaring ‘20s. And while I remember being somewhat a...
Victoria Beckham does not stop. The former Spice Girl turned successful fashion designer/mother-of-4, seems to be just about everywhere these days. And now she has landed not one, but two Harper’s ...
Today is my birthday! Admittedly I was a little melancholy having to be alone in a new city. Fortunately, I have gotten lots of lovely calls from friends & family to cheer me up. And the flower...
Over the past few weeks I have found myself in conversations about bloggers and clothing. The big question in each of these instances has been “How can she afford all of that designer/expensive/larg...
