Recently I took a trip back down to Chicago to visit the pop up experience The Happy Place. It’s basically a blogger’s paradise. Instagramland if you will. A warehouse installation with several different rooms full of fun and colorful photo ops! Obviously, I had to check it out before it’s last day, September 3rd, 2018.
OH this darling dusty blue dress for our date night in Door County! (okay that was a little heavy on the alliteration…) But for real, this dress!!! I bought this as my birthday present to myself during a quick shopping trip the day before we left for our getaway. I went to SoHo Boutique,
Patio life is the life for me! Especially in a cute jumpsuit. Eating and drinking outside on gorgeous Summer day, in a great outfit with good people makes me REALLY happy! It feels like such a treat when you live in Wisconsin, or anywhere it’s cold for over half of the year. Give me a
This afternoon with Lillian was not the first, and I’m sure won’t be the last time that I’m the only mom at the park wearing a dress. Maybe I’m crazy for getting dressed up in mom life. Maybe I’m just a fashion fanatic. Maybe looking good just makes me feel good and love living in
When I heard that I new clothing boutique was opening up in our little village of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, I was obviously excited and anxious for it’s arrival. I was invited to the opening party of Soho Boutique this Winter, where I shopped, sipped wine and tried on too many clothes. Since I’ve returned to
Recently I was invited by Pamela Kieck, Badger Liquor and Veuve Cliquot on a boat ride along the Milwaukee river.

So it was time for some pre-summer style to
Black and white polka dots is a classic print that we will continue to see season after season. The tie-front/cut-out trend is something that will come and go. But this polka dot dress combines the two terrifically for trending lightly this Spring and Summer. Surprisingly I only own one other polka dot piece, and I

For months I stared longingly out the back window wondering what my garden looks like and waiting to get my hands back in the dirt. I’d completely forgotten all that I planted and
Brian Mattinson Photography Fun at The Pfister Hotel A couple months back, during an unseasonably warm Wisconsin weekend, some blogger babes and I booked ourselves a little stay-cation at Milwaukee’s famous Pfister Hotel. In the heart of downtown Milwaukee, this architectural stunner definitely stands out with very regal feels. Once inside, the amazing classical interiors
Photography by Amanda Vick Creative Embroidered Denim at the Milwaukee Domes A couple weeks ago cabin fever was really starting to set in for this Midwest stay-at-home mama. During one of our chats, my photographer Amanda, a Wisconsin native, suggested we take a trip to the Mitchell Park conservatory domes. YES! Great idea. Upon entering,
Photography by Amanda Vick Date Night Dress Sometimes a girl just needs to put on something more than a pair of jeans and boots for date night. Sometimes we want to feel more fancy… Put on some heels, show some leg, order a martini! Maybe going to your local/regular spot? Maybe you’re trying a new
I’m SO in love with my new Winter coat! You could say this was a Christmas present to myself. As my personal outerwear story is a tale of woe… After buying a bright yellow puffy coat in college I decided I wanted “pretty” coats and began my coat collection by charging a red wool peacoat
