To all the amazing moms, Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours! I was so fortunate to have been able to celebrate; having a lovely and delicious dinner with my mom. She has always pushed me to strive harder and encouraged me further than I ever thought possible.   If yours is anything like mine, [...]

Was recently at Four Seasons Chicago reviewing a collection and happened upon a few things that made me giggle. The ladies’ was fully equipped with a traditional mirror flanked by two “skinny mirrors”. Fabulous! I found myself laughing and feeling the need to share and thinking how I could get this install next to my [...]

Yet again, Hermes does not disappoint. I am loving the soft grey hues going back to the tonal browns, navy and forever black. The lines are clean and precise and the drape classically whispers: luxury. I live just down the street from the Oak Street location and popping in for a visit is always a [...]

I was not able to attend Paris Fashion Week, so the next best thing I can do is review the shows by bringing to you my favorite looks from the lines, that spoke to me most, over the next few days. Let’s start with Chanel since it is fitting and all. The sparkly eye and [...]

It feels like I have been growing my hair out forever! I decided to give it a rest when my heavily highlighted color, or lack there of color, was looking severely damaged and stopped growing. It apparently was in a fight with me. After giving it a few years and having a lot of patience, [...]

I am back in Chicago after a nice sunny week in Florida and getting back in the saddle. My trip was amazing and I have so much to tell you about! Over the last three years, I have been regularly traveling to the Sunshine State to produce private trunk shows where my clients come to [...]

As I prepare for this season’s Trunk Show trip to FL, wanted to take a moment to share the addition of award winning, master couture milliner, Loreta Corsetti. So honored!! Loreta’s work can be described as couture, whimsical and inspired by nature. Her use of semi precious stone colors, vintage and one of a kind finds, [...]

TO HAVE & TO BHLDN. Or shop for a destination wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridesmaid gown, honeymoon, headwear, jewelry, clutch, cocktail dress, party dress, shoes, lingerie, gifting item; should I keep going?! I have come to find that the shop has mostly been categorized as a wedding destination and while it definitely fits the silk shoe [...]

Here’s a little sneak peek at what’s to come tomorrow… Spring is arriving at BHLDN, in Chicago’s Gold Coast. Pretty sure I just fell in love with them a little more.
