I've got 99 problems and pillows might just be #1 on that list. Yep, that's right. I've got major pillow problems. So who do I turn to? Ding, ding, ding, that's right. Pillow guru of style extraordinaire, Emily Henderson. While putting this post together, I started looking around the house for all the pillows that I've purchased since[...]
While perusing Pinterest, I recently came across a new bedding company called Parachute Home, and the caption under the image was "What do you love about your bedroom?" Hmmm, do I love my bedroom? Well, that's a really good question. Not really. Well, not now anyway, but I will...as soon as I finish this bedroom makeover. We moved into[...]
Dressing for spring in Chicago can be tricky. The mornings can be quite chilly while the afternoons are comfortable. And then you can get days like Monday where we had blizzard-like conditions; while today is pushing 60° and sunny. It's madness. You never know if the snow is gone for good until it hits 90° and even then, it can be a cr[...]
So we're almost halfway through March, and quite a few of you...including myself...have finished The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. All the reviews I read had compared it to Gone Girl, so I was thrilled to be reading this month's book picked by Ashley from Bigger Than The Three Of Us and Thalita from The Learner Observer, and m[...]
If you've been watching my Pinterest boards, you might have recently noticed a few pinning sprees with one theme — credenzas. I have 2 in my home, both with TVs hung above them. Nose crinkle, I know.

Yes, you might have been sitting on the most perfect vintage blue Persian rug that you bought for $12 that alludes me and wearing the most perfect plaid shirt with the most perfect brown boots no[...]
Ever since I started writing this blog I knew I wanted to create style and fashion posts. But for me, photographing myself is not the easiest thing to do. (Unless you're Heather Wyancko she makes it look like a piece-a-cake!) After returning from Alt Summit, I knew I need to make this style thing happen, so I searched and searc[...]
I’m starting to shop for the master bedroom makeover, and I have sooooo many home decor wants it’s ridiculous. I’m also learning (not really, this has been clear for quite some time) that I have shopping ADD. I tell myself to only search bedroom decor and suddenly I’m shopping for shoes. What is wrong with me? So today I decided[...]
My ears get bored very quickly, so I've been on the hunt for new music as of late. It also probably doesn't help my cause when I find a song I like, it goes into heavy rotation for a month or two of commuting...over and over and over again. It's the one major issue I have with iPod playlists. Convenient yes, but one can only listen to a[...]
