I’ve got more than a few statement coats now but this one is by far my favorite. Chicago has gotten really cold again, and even though, I do complain about Chicago’s crazy winter – I sure must admit that I love wearing faux fur coats (and yes, I am aware of the irony!) during the winter season.
Tell me: What’s your favorite coat to make a big statement in?! Do you prefer faux fur or real fur?! Do share!
As always, thanks much for reading & have a great day!
We live in such frantic times, moving from one thing to the next without really concentrating on anything in particular. Our minds become restless – yet we have so many opportunities to be generous and inspire each other. Today’s post is all about “smelling the roses”, and how the birth of my son, Kingston taught me to appreciate just how precious life is. When Kingston was born everything had changed. As a new parent, you learn that the cliché everyone tells you is actually true: It goes so fast. My son will turn 4 this year and I cannot help but be astounded by this simple fact. I get teary eyed just thinking about it because I don’t want this experience of raising Kingston to race by. I want it to drag on, deliberately, definitively, and perhaps forever.
I want to enjoy being a mother. Being a mother is the BEST life has to offer. It has taught me to live my life with compassion; to be kind to myself so I can be kind to others.
So, let’s make today count! Let us stop, and “smell the roses” together, as they say, because right now is the only time we will ever have. Let’s make the most of it.
Happy Friday, lovelies! I am excited to introduce you all to Nikki Poulos, a fashion designer known for her love of vintage-inspired styles, graphic prints and bold colors. Nikki’s designs have been featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Elle, Lucky and Fitness magazines, and she was a designer on the NBC prime time TV show “Fashion Star”. As you can probably imagine…I was quite thrilled when the team at Nikki Poulos asked me if I wanted to collaborate with her.
I am wearing Nikki’s graphic print jacket which is such a fun piece! It reminds me of spring which by the way (!) can’t come soon enough! To finish off the look I have decided to pair it with a gorgeous peplum top which my mom recently got me (she’s the best!) and faux-leather pants. I have also added some fun accessories to my modern boho-chic look. I am currently head over heels in love with Kay K Couture and Mellow World Handbag. The necklace and earrings are just to die for, and my handbag is just the perfect size for your every day wear. You should definitely check them out!
As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful weekend!
There are days where the “I don’t know what to wear” syndrome bites in (despite a wardrobe filled with clothes), and today was one of those days where I wasn’t keen on wearing my skinny pants. I was looking for a more sophisticated yet very on-trend look – hence I reached for my wide-leg pants! It seems to be the perfect timing to be a little bit more daring and wear flares in the city. These pants seem specifically tailored to any confident, stand out woman that embodies a sensual, sophisticated lifestyle with a unique twist. Oh, and fear not, for wide-leg pants fit everyone! Whether you are petite or tall, skinny or curvy – they are seriously the new go-to for all shapes and sizes.
