Our very own fairy tale closet finally opened in Chicago.

I am so thrilled to announce that we have our very own Rent The Runway store now, located at 710 N Wabash Ave, Chicago. I attended their launch event on Wednesday which was so much fun! The store truly is magnificent. You are surrounded in shades of gold, silver, and champagne, and the store has a lot of perks too, such as a “selfie mirror” for all fashionista’s who like to take a selfie while in the dressing room, beautiful seating enclaves, and in-store styling appointments. If you are in town, or even better – if you are from Chicago then you should definitely drop by and play Cinderella for the day! Four-day apparel rentals start at $30 and run up to $800, while accessories rent at price points from $5 to $400.

I wore a Cedric Charlier dress to the event paired with a AV Max bangle which are both rented from Rent The Runway. I truly loved the dress, it is so colorful and chic! Just perfect for fun events!

On this note, I would like THANK Rent The Runway, and the wonderful team at SKIRT PR for the wonderful collaboration & for having me and my friends at the launch event! We had so much fun with our fellow Chicago bloggers!

I am sure you will see me sometime soon again!

Much love.

I love a good jumpsuit and this particular one is one of my favorites. I got it last year from Marshalls and I can’t believe that it’s still one of my favorite pieces. The wide leg pant and the elastic waistband are so flattering on every figure. I’ve paired my jumpsuit with a simple white blazer, nude heels, and I decided to braid my hair for today’s look! What do you think?! People told me that I looked ”very German” which is right on (!) since I’m actually half German ;-)!

 As always, thanks much for stopping by & have a lovely day!

 Much love.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

– Harriet Tubman

A DREAM CAME TRUE this past weekend when I wore this beautiful Monique Lhuillier Dress from Rent The Runway. My husband and I went to the Symphony on Saturday, followed by a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. It has always been one of my favorite places downtown. Home to the third-largest collection of fine art in the United States, The Art Institute of Chicago aims to inspire me every time I visit.

And before I forget:

Chicagoans, have you marked April 30 on your calendar for Rent The Runway’s GRAND OPENING in Chicago’s luxurious and historic Gold Coast neighborhood?! Also, I will be attending their launch event on the 29th – hopefully I will get to see some of you there! Definitely come and see me! Would love to meet you!

As always, thanks much for visiting & have a wonderful day!

 Happy Fri-Yay, lovelies! I’m loving this peachy, half-sleeve coat from Choies. It’s so versatile, and just so perfect for spring – wouldn’t you agree? I’ve paired mine with a pair of skinny, ripped denim (lately I’ve been obsessing over ripped denim if you haven’t noticed), and my “it” handbag for this season: My hot pink handbag from Kate Spade. I found it at Marshalls when I decided to pay them a visit during my lunch break from work. As always, I strolled around the store while sipping on my coffee, and there she was…A bright pink beauty – just sitting there all by herself – literally just waiting for me to pick her up, and so I did. Isn’t she a beauty?

Also, I’m SO excited to share a sneak peek of my Tassel Bead Bracelet Collection coming out June 1st, 2015 with YOU! Each bead bracelet is handmade by me, and even comes with little “Made With Love” tags. I cannot wait to share more designs from my Tassel Bead Bracelet Collection with you within the next couple of weeks – but until then mark your calendars for June 1st, 2015!

As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful weekend!

 Much love.
