One of my favorite finds this winter is a black and navy beanie. I have always enjoyed mixing these two colors and this goes to show they look great together. A leather jacket and pointy boots add just the right amount of edge to a comfortable look. Have a great Monday!

The best way to make a look come to life is to have one statement piece. For me, this tends to be a great pair of shoes! This loafer is the perfect balance of menswear and feminine florals. I can see myself wearing these on repeat. What are some of your favorite statement pieces?

With these temperatures dipping into the negative and single digits for the past few days, a warm and cozy sweater is an absolute must-have. Many businesses were closed yesterday due to the extreme cold, and today it’s back to the single digits…I can hardly wait until summer, even 40° degrees would feel nice! Have a great Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Chicago was hit with another snowstorm on Saturday, beginning in the wee hours of the morning and lasting until early evening. Somehow, I managed to be out and about the entire weekend, even in the frigid 15° temperatures on Sunday picking up a few more Christmas gifts. Layers over layers are my go-to as of late. Have a great Monday!

‘Tis the season for holiday parties. Since most begin right after work, a desk-to-drink look is best. For me, it’s black with a play on textures and subtle gold accents. All-day comfort is important, too. If you’re not one to wear heels all day, don’t start now! Hobbling into the party isn’t the way to go, so bring those heels with you to slip on right before heading out. Freshen your makeup and add a bold lip, like YSL – Le Rouge.

I hope everyone survived the long Thanksgiving weekend full of food and sales! I generally don’t go out shopping on Black Friday, though I did manage to snag a few sales online and later on Saturday at some boutiques in my neighborhood. I’m so excited about this hand-painted silk scarf from Eliza Dot Design. It’s luxurious and is the perfect way to add a pop of color to any look. Each scarf is unique in that it’s handmade and painted with a palette of vibrant pigments. Have a great Monday!
