New Favorite Summer Dress

Shoes: Christian Louboutin Begona Pink Nosy PVC T-Strap Pump

Handbag: Senreve Blush Mini Maestra Pebbled Leather Satchel

Summer is officially here! Bring on the Chicago heat! I have a love-hate relationship with summer; I love hot hot days, but I hate going inside anywhere because they crank up the air conditioning! A little fact about me; I am always cold and could bask in the warm sun for hours and be absolutely content! Who’s with me?

Now on to my new favorite summer dress….I just love everything about this litl’ pink gingham number! The color (obviously); fun gingham print; off the shoulder sleeves and of course ruffled hemline! I styled it here with pink t-strap pumps and carried a blush satchel. I’m looking forward to wearing this dress again more casually with wedges or flip-flops. It would also look super cute styled with a denim jacket over it.

Cannot wait for all the warm days ahead! Happy summertime! 🙂

I was born a fashionista… you would think I was wearing a hot pink tulle skirt and a cropped lace blouse, size: newborn. That’s how far back my passion for all things fashion goes — for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a little girl the creative fashionista fire in me has burned bright, and as I sit here today I have that same spark sizzling on and on….

I think of my style as romantic and feminine — but also creative and accessible. I like to be bold and creative with my outfit choices, styling pieces that one may not think would work with another piece. I believe that confidence comes not only from within, but also how you present yourself on a daily basis. When you walk out the house wearing a cute outfit that you feel good in, you are bound to smile! I hope to give you the confidence to put on that pleated skirt that’s been sitting in the back of your closet and feel like a million bucks prancing around in it!

I hope to instill that same confidence in my precious little princess, Madeline. Taking after her mommy, she already loves playing dress up – and you better believe that she always has a smile on her face!

I have had the pleasure of working with brands such as: Amazon, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Christian Louboutin, Henri Bendel, Rent the Runway, and REVOLVE Clothing to name just a few. I have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, InStyle, and on WGN-TV.

If I give you just one idea for styling an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks, then I will consider my work a success.
