What is @ZARA telling us about Fall 2026? 👀 I went in looking for patterns — not just individual pieces — and the same ideas kept showing up: leather jackets, military-inspired details, funnel-neck outerwear, corset tops, lace, suede and fringe, satin and polka dots, and rugby shirts. And it

The cutest little stop in downtown Geneva ☕️📚 @storybookcafegeneva completely got me with the storybook wall — it feels like stepping into a tiny literary escape. I grabbed a matcha and an almond croissant before heading out for the day, and the whole space is such a charming little find. Def

Before summer ends, consider this your sign to plan a Chicago museum day. ☀️🏛️ I spent Creator Weekend at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and was reminded just how much there is to experience here — especially as an adult. As a fashion girl, Crafting Character: The Costumes of Paul

A quiet night with fruit, Vogue, and absolutely no urgency. Sometimes the reset isn’t dramatic — it’s just choosing slower rituals, better inspiration, and a little more intention in the everyday. Consider this my reminder that style is also about how you live, not just what you wear. #Edito

I told you this was one to have on your Chicago radar. 🏁 What a weekend for Porsche in Chicago. Friday night kicked off at Porsche Downtown Chicago for the All-New Porsche Cayenne Electric Preview Party — incredible food, music by DJ Mario Gage, an auction benefiting Crushers Club, and an up-

Luxury doesn’t necessarily have a pricing problem. It may have a value problem. Inspired by recent reporting from The Business of Fashion on luxury brands rethinking their value to shoppers, I started looking at just how dramatically luxury pricing has changed. Luxury goods prices rose an ave

Porsche took over Fulton Market. 🏁 Four blocks, an incredible lineup of Porsches, and thousands of car enthusiasts in the heart of Chicago — Check26 did not disappoint. From vintage classics to modern builds (and a few cars I’m still thinking about 👀), it was such a fun morning walking Fulton

Such a fun start to Check26 weekend. 🏁 Tonight’s preview at Porsche Downtown Chicago was the perfect introduction to what’s ahead — incredible cars, beautiful design, and a community that takes its Porsche passion seriously. And this was only the preview. 👀 Tomorrow, Check26 takes over four b

Outfit of the night, Porsche edition. 🏁❤️ Kicking off Check26 tonight at Porsche Downtown Chicago before the main event takes over Fulton Market tomorrow — which, naturally, called for a look. I rented this Endless Rose contrast knit midi from Rent the Runway and styled it with strappy black

Another Chicagoland event to add to your weekend plans. 🚗✨ This Sunday, the Geneva Concours d’Elegance takes over Third Street in downtown Geneva from 10 AM–4 PM with an incredible collection of classic, exotic and collector automobiles. ✨ Free admission ✨ Family friendly ✨ Dress for the oc

Buy the tickets. Wear the outfit. Bring the champagne. 🥂✨ A night at Ravinia with Ricky Martin was the perfect reminder that sometimes the best plans are the ones you just say yes to — good music, good friends, a little Veuve, and one of those summer nights you wish you could bottle up. Some

Pre-concert picnic, but make it Ravinia 🍋🥂 We set up on the lawn with Veuve, lemon-print plates, snacks, and the kind of summer spread that makes getting here early part of the experience. Add good friends, golden-hour weather, and Ricky Martin waiting in the wings… honestly, this is peak Chicag

This is how the North Shore does a picnic at Ravinia 🥂✨ Tonight’s plan: Ricky Martin, three friends, Veuve, and an outfit that feels polished without being impractical for the lawn. I’m wearing a blue-and-white Polo Ralph Lauren midi dress from Rent the Runway, paired with a grass-friendly ch

Chicago weekend plans: found. 🏁🏎️ Check26 is taking over four blocks of Fulton Market this Saturday, August 22, with an incredible collection of Porsches on display at Fulton + Ada. The weekend kicks off Friday night with the Checkeditout Preview Party at Porsche Downtown Chicago before the m

I think fall 2026 is changing denim in a way that’s much more interesting than just giving us another “must-have” jean shape. The shift I’m seeing is polished denim — darker washes, wide-leg silhouettes, chocolate brown, and trouser-inspired jeans styled with crisp shirts, blazers, belts, struct

Glenview, put this one on your radar. 👀 LAGO by Fabio Viviani is bringing its second location to Glenview, with an opening slated for the end of 2026. The new restaurant is coming to 1808 Waukegan Road, near Waukegan + Chestnut. Consider this your early heads-up. ✨ I’ll be keeping an eye on t

Proof that fashion events don’t always have to be about shopping. 🎨✨ I spent the afternoon at Veronica Beard’s Craft Club at the 900 Shops location for a watercolor workshop hosted and taught by @Molly Fallon, and it was such a refreshing way to slow down and do something creative. Between th

There’s something about mid-August that makes me want a reset ✨ Kids are going back to school, fall fashion is everywhere, and suddenly I’m craving fresh routines, darker denim, a new planner page, and a little more structure. I’ve been thinking of it as my adult back-to-school reset — getting b

Just did my 10th F45 class 💥 these have been a game changer for my workout routine. I love the different style classes. They’re 45m so by the time you think about it class is over and you can move on w your day. #f45class #fitnessclass #workoutroutine
