Happy Friday, lovelies! It might be cold and nasty outside but that does not hinder me from wearing some light and calming colors, such as pink and white. This unique blend of contrasts is a personal favorite of mine. It creates such a ultra-feminine look. It’s a simple way to add a flattering pop of color and complements any monochromatic outfit effortlessly, don’t you agree?!

But before I forget: How awesome is this IPhone case from Kidogo Kidogo? Founded by Kim & Kristen Waeber, Kidogo Kidogo helps low-income woman in Tanzania to get the life-changing gift of a mobile phone. No matter who you are or where you live, a mobile phone makes your life better, don’t you agree? If you purchase a case from Kidogo Kidogo you can be assured that a woman in Tanzania will receive one cellphone, one SIM card to be connected to an operator, and last but not least cell phone credit to get started learning how to use her phone. Isn’t this so amazing?! Shop your IPhone case here now, and help a woman in Tanzania!

And speaking of making a life better…I have a BIG SURPRISE for you! You can WIN this amazing backpack from These Odds!

To me, autumn means whipping out all of my black outfits. All black never goes out of style and always, SERIOUSLY ALWAYS looks very pulled together, don’t you agree?! It’s one of those colors where you don’t have to think so hard about what you are wearing, and it’s fun! Hence 99.9% of the time it is my favorite ensemble during the colder months. What is your favorite go-to color during fall/winter?!

As always, thanks much for reading! Your support and love means the world to me!

You guys are the best!

Happy Monday! Glad you stopped by! I am all about classic, timeless pieces that will always stay in style and help you reinvent your staples year after year. Hence for today’s post I decided to pull some of my fashion staples.

I am wearing a polka dot blouse with an old pair of ripped jeans, and a classic trench coat. I love this classic – yet fun look, and it’s certainly casual enough to chase after my 3 year old son (by changing to flats, though!).

PS: How awesome are those spike earrings from These Odds?! Based in Atlanta, ‘These Odds’ are known for recycling and up-cycling homeless pieces, and for graciously giving us an opportunity to shed light on the value of clothing that others may have over-looked or simply forgot about.

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Monday!

Happy Friday, lovelies!

 We’ve had amazing weather the last couple of days which gave us the opportunity to spend some quality time in our favorite city: C H I C A G O. Yes, I am very much a city girl! There’s nothing else I enjoy more but stroll around the city with my family, grab a cup of coffee on the go, and watch the world go by at Millennium Park.

I am wearing a lace dress from OASAP which I have paired with one of my favorite biker-esque jackets (which I have purchased a while back in Germany), and my cozy faux fur scarf from H&M! This look is super chic for a stroll downtown, and yet comfortable enough to have fun with the fam(ily)!

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a great weekend! See you back here on Monday!

I have a healthy obsession with faux leather pants. They are edgy yet chic, and let me tell you: They are super comfortable! I received these faux leather pants from Bohme as part of our collaboration, and I am completely smitten! Faux leather pants are so versatile too – simply pair them with your favorite sweater, or a fun graphic tee and you are all set! I paired mine with a neon sweater (I still cannot let go of bold colors!), and my new MUST HAVE item for autumn: The Fedora Hat.

Warning: You will see me rock the fedora hat on several more occasions!

As always, thanks so much for reading & a BIG THANK YOU to Bohme for sponsoring this post!

PS: I have a coupon code for you from BOHME! Use SHOP20 and get $20 OFF your purchase if you spend $150 or more!

Happy Shopping!
