Last weekend, I got to tick another item off my Madison bucket list – go to Frostiball! Frostiball is an annual fundraiser and gala for the Overture Center here in Madison, which is the largest non-profit arts organization in the city. As a former theater major, I love art and especially live performance and have […]

Over the last year I’ve unintentionally become obsessed with basket bags. They were super trendy in the summer of 2018 and I thought they were so fun, so I caved and bought my first one vintage on a trip to Philadelphia. Ever since then, though, I’ve started to collect basket bags even though I’m pretty […]

A few weeks ago, I was home in Chicago for my mom’s birthday and was invited to join a fun photoshoot with some bloggers. I love meeting people through Instagram (which sounds weird, but it’s actually how I’ve met so many of my friends in Madison!) so I happily agreed. On a ridiculously cold Saturday […]

Happy Second Hand September! It’s no secret that I’m a big thrifter. I’ve always loved bargain hunting and thrift shopping – there’s just something so satisfying about finding an incredible deal that makes me love my clothes that much more. My love for thrifting started when I lived in Dublin because there were so many […]

I’m not gonna lie. It’s Thursday and I’m sooo ready for this week to be over. It has been a long week of events and networking, but honestly I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s doing events like I did this week that keep me motivated and make me feel really proud of myself and […]

I found this amazing jumpsuit while on a swimsuit shopping expedition to Target and I mostly bought it because I needed a win out of that shopping experience lol. But it’s actually turned into one of my most worn pieces all summer. It’s a linen blend so it’s light and breezy but it doesn’t get […]

Last night, my friend Sarah and I met up at Hilldale Mall to check out their Sidewalk Sale! I love a good bargain and a lot of my favorite stores were participating, so I was excited to scope it out. We had so much fun stopping by my go-to spots at Hilldale and I’m here […]

If you’re in the Madison area you know it’s been a long, cold Spring. I think yesterday it finally got over 80 for the first time! I’m a hot weather lover, so it’s been tough dealing with weeks of rainy and chilly days. Despite the dismal weather, though, I’ve tried to keep things Springy in […]

I love this dress. This dress brings me joy. It makes me feel powerful and fun and like I stepped out of the 80s. It’s a vintage, double-breasted suit dress from Rethreads on State Street in Madison. The vintage there can be kind of hit or miss, so I was super pleasantly surprised to find […]
