Ciao for now, 2018 👋🏻You were just alright. But, it’s ending in sweatpants with Prosecco and beer and maybe some Chinese food, and I am not mad about it. So yeah, this sign couldn’t be more right - new year, same me. Fun story: when my mom saw this sign, she said, “you should flip it over and on the other side right ‘and thank god for that.’” So, she’s the real MVP. Happy 2019, friends! ✨🥂🍚 Shop it 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2z6qH @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert

It feels like not long ago - mainly because it wasn’t that long ago - that I was wearing this outfit with BARE legs! Seriously, how? While I was forced to trade the denim skirt in for jeans (skinny or girlfriend) or ponte pants, this blazer and t-shirt combo is still a mainstay in my wardrobe. You wouldn’t think that a plaid blazer (this one is 40% off!) would be that versatile, but it is! Pair it with a lace cami, jeans and heels on the weekend // ponte pants, a turtleneck and flats at the office // and if you live somewhere weather appropriate, with a denim mini, booties and a t-shirt for dinner (my personal fave!). Are you into the plaid blazer trend or do you like to keep your blazer more classic (read: solid)? I linked a few of my favorite plaid blazers (and the comfortable black blazer) in the @liketoknow.it app. Happy shopping 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2yE3V #liketkit #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert

Do you ever get so excited about a sale that you quickly fill your online cart with alllll the things and then look at the total and kind of just cry, because you know - budgets? I know I can’t be alone on this 🤷🏻‍♀️ Especially with this @madewell sale going on until October 8! It’s good. I love basically everything on the site right now, but if there is one thing that I would say that you NEED, it’s this sweater. It’s comfy and makes you feel like sitting on the couch all day, but can also be dressed up for the office. I wore it today with a shirt dress and booties. Find you a comfy cardi that does both 🙌🏻 Unfortunately, this color sold out because of that darn #nsale, but Madewell has a lot of very cute colors! I linked my two favorites in the @liketoknow.it app so you can scoop one up! Don’t forget to use the code ‘ONYOURMARK’ for up to 30% off! http://liketk.it/2xChB #liketkit #LTKsalealert #LTKunder100

Happy Monday, friends! 💕 Being back in the office was especially hard today, but the good news is that’s there’s only four more work days until the weekend 🙄 Anyway, how about we talk trends ... while I’m not usually one to buy anything too trendy, I do love when I find on-trend pieces that mesh well with my personal style, too, basically, items that I would buy whether they were trendy and cool or not - kind of like these button-fly jeans and floral, bell-sleeve top. But since I want to make sure that I’m buying pieces I will love for more than just a season, or at least will wear very frequently, I follow my rule of threes before making the purchase ... can I make three different outfits using this piece? When it comes to this top, yes - blue jeans for casual Friday, black ponte pants during the week and a leather skirt on the weekend ✅ If it passes the rule of three test, and it has a price tag as attractive as this one (under $30!), it’s coming home with me 🛍 Do you have any rules you follow when it comes to shopping?

When you want fall but you’re still holding on to summer, let your nails do the talking 💅🏻 Im really loving this combo of a little bit of taupe-less beach and a little bit of don’t bossanova me around (my favorite @opi color). I usually get sick of nail polish realllllly quickly, and tend to chip them very easily, so I love trying out different combos or funky colors since I know I won’t be wearing it for it for long. But I still always manage to play it safe and pick neutral colors 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you’re like me and you tend to shy away from experimenting with anything too trendy, but you still want to try something new, pick two colors from the same family that complement each other while still being a little “different.” Yes, these may still be neutrals, but I love that it’s a little more funky than a normal manicure and somehow, I’m still wearing it / not tired of it and it’s been almost a week! Do you have a go-to color or are you all about trying out different nail trends / funky colors!?

My shopping motto that I try to follow at the start of every new season? Buy quality pieces (fyi ... that doesn’t always mean expensive!) that will last you for seasons to come. Kind of like this jacket from last year’s @Nordstrom sale. Today’s fall-like weather brought me back to this look from last year - I reach for these pants pretty much year round, and if this rain would stop I would break out this suede beauty, too! ☔️ Suede jackets were the talk of the office yesterday - this jackets comes in SO many different colors. Shop them here 👉🏼 @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2xeqY #liketkit #LTKunder100 #LTKstyletip

wear now 👉🏼 wear later. Striped tees and white jeans might feel a little summery to you, but toss on field jacket - I’m partial to olive green and military deets - and you’re set for fall. These three items - plus this purse scarf combo that I LOVE - are perfect staples to start building your fall wardrobe. If I was wearing this in the real world and not a dressing room, I’d wear it with black slides now and black booties when fall officially arrives. I’m not a pumpkin spice kinda gal, but today today was a total tease - I’m officially ready and excited for fall 🍂 Shop these items on the @liketoknow.it app ❤️ http://liketk.it/2x9kO #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50

On Wednesday, I made a joke that it was already starting to feel like fall, and then Friday came in like, “hold my beer,” and really showed us what fall was all about. I know it’s going to be like 80 in Chicago tomorrow, but I didn’t hate breaking out a couple of my favorite buys from the #nsale while still wearing open-toed shoes. It was the best of both worlds. And while today’s look made for a very casual Friday, I’m excited to wear this top with wide-leg black pants for a weekday work look, too. You can’t tell, but the bell sleeves are ah-mazing! Have you started breaking out the fall wardrobe yet? Shop any of these perfect-for-transitioning pieces in the @liketoknow.it app 💕 The cool weather will be here before we know it! http://liketk.it/2x5s6 #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKstyletip

A Thursday night that includes all of my favorite things: peroni, street fests - especially Italian ones, because ... arancini 🇮🇹 - and a fun wide-leg jumpsuit 😍 Under $59, ruffles and polka dots ... SOLD. Get it here 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2wZxu @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip

Two reasons to love a two-piece set: work and weekend ❤️ Unfortunately, the matching tank and skirt are old, but o linked the accessories, blazer and a few aid my favorite two-piece sets in the @liketoknow.it app 💙 http://liketk.it/2wJlG #liketkit #LTKstyletip

Monday’s are better with fancy cocktails and The Bachelorette 🍹 I told myself that I was going to “be good” tonight, but instead I took a walk and had a drink. Everything in moderation, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now, can we talk about The Bachelorette for a second ... after tonight’s episode, I am so ready for this season to be over. Mainly so Bachelor in Paradise can start but also because I’m very done with Becca’s wardrobe. Who do you think she’s going to pick!? // Outfit deets in the @liketoknow.it app http://liketk.it/2wGQd #liketkit #LTKunder50

A rare sighting 😎 Me, in a pair of sunglasses that aren’t my everyday tried-and-true aviators. I’m the queen of losing sunglasses, so I really hate spending big bucks on them when I know darn well that I will probably lose them within a couple of months. I’ve had my eye on a couple pairs of Le Specs for a while, and of course, swoon whenever I “swipe up” on a pair of Celine’s or Gucci’s - but if the $100 price tag scared me off, you know I was never going to spend $300+. Then, I saw this in the #NSale. *Gasp* Le Specs! That look kind of like Celine’s! For less than $70! Sold. And I’ve work them everyday since. Head on over to the @liketoknow.it app and follow me, because you can shop these bad boys tomorrow 🙌🏻 http://liketk.it/2wD9A #liketkit #LTKsalealert #LTKunder100

Ah the #NSale 🙌🏻 I bought 12 items (each for under $100) that will make countless outfits this fall AND managed to keep it below budget. Feels like a major win in my book - also, you need all of this 🤷🏻‍♀️ @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKunder100 #LTKsalealert http://liketk.it/2wC6H

Good vibes is one way to describe my feelings about the Nordstrom Annoversary Sale. And believe it or not, I think I’m actually done shopping 💁🏻‍♀️ This sweater is easily one of my favorite purchases. I’m keeping the tags on and crossing my fingers that it’s restocked soon, because I would love to size down. This is a large, and while it’s super somfortable, I think a medium would look a little more polished and be more versatile in the office and on the weekends. This year, I stuck to a really strike budget - which is just one of my strategies to get the most out of the #NSale. Another strategy was to focus on basic, classic pieces - every item I bought was under $100. And because I don’t want you to scour through 24 pages of women’s clothes (like I did) now - or when the sale starts on Friday - I found 30 items for fun, for lounging at home or for work - all under $100 🙌🏻 Head to the blog to shop them or shop these looks by following me on the @liketoknow.it app😘 http://liketk.it/2wBrR #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert #LTKunder100

You know it’s a good white blouse when you get drenched by a torrential downpour and manage not to host a solo wet t-shirt contest 😂 But seriously, this lined, linen-like peplum top is the real VIP - and it’s less than $30! Pair it with a white skirt for a monochromatic look that can be dressed down with birks or dressed up with a wedge. It would also look so cute with distressed jean shorts. Maybe I’ll need to wear that to my next country concert!?

When you find out the theme of the party when you arrive (Hampton’s Chic), and you kind of think you nailed it 💁🏻‍♀️ But then suddenly you get very mad that you didn’t wear a suede bandeau and a cowboy hat a la Carrie Bradshaw on the beach. Who remembers that outfit!? I would dare that to say that it was one of her most eccentric looks of all time. Anyway, this one-shoulder bow tanks may be much more Natasha than Carrie, but I’m still kind of obsessed - the 🎀 detail is adorable! I paired it with a pencil skirt, but it would look equally as cute with jean shorts or white jeans, and it’s on sale for less than $20! FYI: I’m wearing a medium and it fits perfectly.

Happy Indepence Day, America 🇺🇸 a lover of stars and stripe, in life and on clothes, I had a lot of outfit options for last night and today, but I’m honestly thinking about repeating this t-shirt dress again. It’s lightweight, the perfect length (it looks short in this photo, but it actually hits a couple inches above my knee - I’m 5’6ish) and ummm less than $10!! I’m always between a medium and large, and went for a large so that it would be a little looser - I’m glad I did. In other non-outfit-related news, so many of you messaged me about this cocktail that I shared on stories last night! I threw it together with the alcohol we had at the house (I wasn’t kidding about being a backyard bartender 😂), but I think you need to make it for your Fourth of July festivities! Paired best with sunscreen and a pool 💙 http://liketk.it/2wpfr @liketoknow.it #liketkit #LTKunder50

This is 26 🍹 Negroni slushies, pizza for breakfast and the most flattering dress for only $30 🙌🏻 I celebrated my birthday this weekend, and I think we had the worst longest brunch. But then again, if a 14-hour marathon filled with drinks, food and friends doesn’t say 26, I don’t know what does 😂 Side note: Did you know that some Target’s are open until midnight!? Friday night, I treated myself to an evening alone at Target and literally wandered around every aisle for almost three hours. I went for shampoo and came home with this smocked maxi dress and an adorable jumpsuit (I forgot the shampoo) #NoRegrets 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you’re a bit on the busty side, this maxi will look amazing on you! It accentuates your waist, and since it’s a little on the tighter side, it helps to keep your strapless bra in check 🙌🏻 You can instantly shop my looks by following me on the @liketoknow.it app http://liketk.it/2wi8G #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKstyletip

On a 100 degree day like today, I really wish this breezy, tropical outfit was office appropriate 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lightweight and flowy and bright and feminine - perfect for a beach vacation or a sticky, hot Chicago day ☀️ I love midi and maxi skirts, because they always make me feel put together even when my hair is frizzy and I’m sweating. But with our fail, whenever I wear one, at least one person tells me, “I love that style, but I could never pull it off.” Usually, they blame it on their body type. Is this something that you say? Or you’ve heard a friend say? Because even though I think you’re crazy, I totally get feeling uncomfortable wearing a new style. If you’re interested in stepping outside your fashion comfort zone, a midi / maxi wrap skirt might just be it! This particular skirt is adjustable, so it’s super shapely - just tie it in a cute little bow and define your waist. But whichever skirt you try, make sure it’s fitted at the smallest part of your waist (either elastic, a tie or a perfect zip for) and if you’re in the mood, try styling with wedges or heels to elongate your legs even more! Also, this top is 40% off. Buy them today, so you’re brunch ready come Saturday - you can instantly shop this look by downloading the @liketoknow.it app and following me 😘 http://liketk.it/2wcqU #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKsalealert

Friday! Drinks! Summer! Is anyone’s else’s mind moving at a similar pace today? It’s literally the trifecta 😂 Since this weekend is going to be extra hot in Chicago, you’re going to want a light and refreshing cocktail in hand. I don’t know, maybe my Trader Joe’s Spicy Paloma? Because nothing says summer cocktail quite tequila. Head over the the blog for this quick, simple and oh-so-good recipe. And if you want the deets of this fun t-shirt and the MOST AMAZING jean shorts, follow me in the @liketoknow.it app 😘http://liketk.it/2vYQj #liketkit #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50

Chicagoans! Rumor has it that it’s finally going to be be sunny and hot and you know, summer, out this weekend 💃🏻 Which means it’s finally time to bust out the summer dresses! I haven’t been able to wear this since my trip to Colombia, but I think it’s going to be perfect for a Father’s Day barbecue. I wore it on the HOTTEST day in Cartegena - I mean, 98 degrees with 94 percent humidity - and don’t get me wrong, I was still hot (there was no way not to be), but this cotton-linen blend was an ideal outfit in my book. And you can snag it for less than $50 online 🙌🏻 Head over to the @liketoknow.it app, follow me and you can shop this dress and a few similar straw bags! http://liketk.it/2w9vZ #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert

Good news, gals! The long-awaited (and requested) DIY Pom-Pom Clutch post is officially live! 💕 And it also includes outfit deets for this simple, classic summer look that I’ve been wearing on repeat - plus, everything is on sale! But back to this clutch! A couple months ago, my friend Katie from @maketocelebrate posted a story with these straw clutches she found at Michael’s, and I had to copy her. My pom-pom straw-clutch from last summer was one of my favorite pieces, so that was my inspo to create something similar, but different for spring and summer 2018. A couple trips to Michael’s and $13 later, and I had everything I needed to DIY this clutch!

The prettiest blooms to Bogotá 🌺 We were only there for two short days, but one of my favorite outings was to the fruit and flower market, Plaza de Mercado de Paloquemao. The most delicious fruit salad (for like $2) and bright, fresh flowers everywhere. If only we were there for a few days longer, I could of dressed up our hotel room with some hydrangeas - my favorite! Speaking of faves, these gym shoes were perfect for travel - they matched with everything and were so comfy! And they’re under $100!

Back in the US of A 🇺🇸 after the greatest week in Colombia 🇨🇴 After three days in the sun along the Caribbean Coast in Cartagena, we made our way up (literally) to Bogotá. The city sits two-miles high in the mountains - and whoa, the view from up top is something. It felt like we were in a completely different city - different food, more traffic and a much different climate. But after sweating a lot, I didn’t mind breaking out the layers. This blazer (under $100 🙌🏻) is a summer staple over dresses, but paired perfectly with a chambray shirt and jeans for a day of touring the city!

After a winter that feels like it lasted a million years, I’m looking forward to being somewhere on a beach in Colombia in less than two weeks 💃🏻 I did a little online shopping today, and I can’t wait for my new bathing suits (always such a challenge to find) and a few other fun, summer finds to arrive ☀️ I linked a few of my @asos buys in the @liketoknow.it app, so download the app and follow me - the bathing suits are perfect for the busty gals 🙌🏻 Andddd if you’ve ever been to Cartagena or Bogotá, I would love your recommendations! 😘 http://liketk.it/2vH5D #liketkit #LTKunder50 #LTKswim

The most ideal lunch break of all time 🙌🏻 This morning I put on the most comfortable pants, dressed them up for work with block heels and a blazer, and grabbed my new #bookofthemonth selection. I read it on the train in and planned to work through lunch, but the sun was shining and I was wearing grass appropriate pants 🤷🏻‍♀️ so it felt like the perfect opportunity to sit outside and read. I linked my pants, similar sandals and my book in the @liketoknow.it app 💕 Preorder the book on @amazon, so you get it right when it comes out on May 15! It pairs well with iced tea, linen pants and the ☀️ http://liketk.it/2vGtz #liketkit #LTKshoecrush #LTKunder50
