    More Humanity, Less Cruelty

    Today’s post is very special to my heart because I am talking about a topic that is very prevalent today: Bullying. Growing up, I was victim of bullying too. I was always different. I grew up in Germany, born to a German father and a Filipino mother. I always had big dreams and worked really hard to achieve my goals. I was bullied for being a ‘nerd’ at school. Yes, I was the one with the glasses, and the amazing grades in school. Girls were especially mean to me. It even went so far – that at one point –…

    Maxi Skirt

    Maxi Skirt

    Fall is slowly making its way to Chicago which means it’s sweater weather! Thankfully, the cozy knits have a HUGE comeback this season! Today I am taking the black-and-white trend into fall by pairing a ribbed turtleneck sweater from H&M with an elegant, high-waisted maxi skirt. The über-polished streamlined ensemble almost channels a formal evening gown but with an effortlessly modern feel. Doesn’t this outfit remind you of that time Sharon Stone shook things up at the 1996 Oscars by throwing on a black turtleneck from the Gap with her ball-gown skirt (remember way back when, kids?)?! As always, thanks…

    As fall approaches, I am looking forward to transitions. My thoughts turn to changing my interiors to more rugged, cozy home elements, as well as swapping out my favorite summer clothing with autumn must-have’s – which brings me to this amazing Karl Lagerfeld wool jacket I received a couple of years ago from my hubs. This is by far my favorite fall piece! You’ve seen me wear it here already (2nd & 4th picture from above) –  but I simply could not help but wear it one more time on the blog – especially since so many of you asked me…

    Love Is In The Air

    Love Is In The Air

    “Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.” —Gail Tsukiyama Today is a very special day for me because three years ago I was delivered to the hospital to give birth to the most amazing, little boy. I will never forget this day. My son was not due until October 7th, 2011 but when my husband and I went to our routine check-up on September 15, the nurse noticed that my stomach seemed smaller so, we did an ultrasound to see what…
