New Orleans!


We visited the ever crazy New Orleans over Spring Break and had a blast! It was my first time and it struck me how it is unlike any other city I've ever been to. There are definite remnants of colonial times with influences from the Caribbean. I spent a few days at Tulane's campus but we also walked through Jackson Square and ate beignets at Cafe du Monde. Delicious!

Summer ...in March


I wore this forever ago, on the first day of a warm spell. I'm somewhat relieved that it is back to normal March temps in Chicago. Of course, it's that odd season where I have to keep every single item of clothing on hand because it could snow, rain or be a sweltering 90 degrees.

This blue skirt is becoming a summer staple, and often pairs well with my tan oxfords. The cream top was a gift from relatives in Spain. The slinky, stretchy fabric and small details make it a perfect match for bright summer skirts.

I just got back from a spring break trip in New Orleans--pictures to come!
