A balcony is a wonder to me. Perhaps it ties in to Romeo+Juliet and romance? Springtime and all of its possibilities? I love the concept of being high in the sky, outdoors and soaking in my surrounds. My dream apartment (in NYC) will have its own little haven attached for me to decorate and turn in to a cozy little spot like these…

Montmartre would also work just fine of course!

I love the styling on this blog. The writer has moved from one coast to other and showcases her incredible mix of clothing styles & layers with obvious influences from both coasts.

Oh Coco Chanel! Your innovations opened up a wonderful world to us, from the fantastic clothing & bags to a bicycle & ice cream cone…Chanel is the crème de la crème.

Accessories add depth and dimension to any look. They spice up what can be boring and change the style of your go to pieces depending on how they are mixed and matched.

Back from a busy weekend celebrating my bachelorette party in Chicago! I had a wonderful time all weekend long. One of the many fun things we did was to take a cooking demonstration class at The Chopping Block on Lincoln Ave.

The class, “For the Love of Crepes” was delicious!  Two types of crepes were demonstrated and then eaten (!) along with a few other treats. The chef was friendly and able to explain things clearly while also keeping the class involved and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend going!
