After Tuesday’s outfit post, you probably don’t need me to hear me further articulate how much I love the fashion miracle that is the high-waisted short. Simultaneously casual, effortless...

Earlier this week, a colleague and I debated on whether or not Kate Middleton is a style icon. While I don’t find that she’s a reflect of my own personal taste, I’d argue that Kate&...
Here in Chicago, we’re gearing up for what’s bound to be a hectic weekend, as our city is the official host of the 2012 NATO summit. In preparation for thousands of journalists, enthusias...

Friday… finally! Do you feel the same? I’m pledging to lay low this weekend — catching up on sleep, closet cleansing and reading the handful of magazines that I haven’t yet fi...
Last week, I roadtripped with Jessica from Bows & Sequins and Lauren from The Girls of Lincoln Park to meet, greet and naturally, DIY with Jenni Radosevich, the brains and beauty behind the blog-...
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I recently joined the Apple ranks of society and purchased an iPhone. Finally, right? Next up: Hallie-proofing my phone. With so many options ...
It’s been a bit gloomy in Chicago the past two weeks, so the very first day that I awoke to a sun-streaked sky, I jumped on the opportunity to ditch my rainy-day duds for some fancy metallic pl...
Only two episodes left this season! Tonight, Chuck proves once again that he may be a potential threat to Dan and Blair’s relationship… Do you think B will finally come to her senses? #Te...
With wedding season just around the corner, I’ve received a few questions about what type of metallic shoes are appropriate (and comfortable!) for bridesmaids and ceremony-goers alike to don on...
Another month draws to an end and as a result, so does another monthly Offline Life review. From escaping on a sun-ridden vacation to attending the Yigal Azrouel runway show in Chicago and winning a ...
Last week, I hit the town to get a glimpse of New York designer Yigal Azrouël’s fall 2012 collection, an evening sponsored by CS Magazine and Saks Fifth Avenue. The space at Block 37 (where the...
I’ve been easily seduced by high-low hemlines this season, and from the moment I laid eyes on this shimmer and lace dress by Plastic Island, I knew I had to have it. I wore this dress to the Yi...
I love a good, old fashion Chuck-and-Blair scheme — and tonight, that’s exactly what’s in store for us on the Upper East Side. *Get the look: Topshop top, Style by Marina shorts, To...

Do you ever find yourself in a color rut? I’m talking, like, stuck on a certain hue — when you find yourself pinning, shopping and dreaming in monochrome. I’ve been dreaming up my s...
Remember when all of us Chicago bloggers raved about spring having arrived? Well, we lied. And let’s be frank: when the skies go (and stay) grey, our wardrobes tend to follow suite. There’...
I’m excited for tonight’s episode, but quite honestly, I’m still recovering from last week’s big reveal about Chuck’s real mother. Are you up to speed? If so, #OMFGG! In...
Sailor stripes put me in a fresh, i’m-on-vacation-type of spirit, and nothing says classic summer style quite like a striped espadrille, am I right? They’re comfortable, they won’t ...
This has been a long, busy, yet fulfilling week, and I’m glad the weekend has arrived at last. This weekend should be a good one — most notably, with a few visitors and lots of sunshine. How ...
Looking for ways to use your tax refund responsibly? Well, this post is not for you. Whether it’s a lot or not, a refund is a refund. And using that “gift” from the government to pa...
