If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that one of my favorite places in Third Ward is The Kimpton Journeyman Hotel (as seen here, here, here and here). Not only is it a beautiful hotel, but Tre Rivali was a welcome addition to the restaurant scene in Milwaukee, and the Outsider has the most incredible rooftop bar with great views of the city. “Valentine’s Day Little White Dress”
Plaid Scarf and a Striped Tee
J.Crew Tee (old, similar version here) / J.Crew Skirt (old, love this similar style) / Sam Edelman Boots (love this over-the-knee style) / LOFT Scarf / Alexander Wang Rocco Bag
I don’t know about you but I’m sick of tights. I wear them about once a week with a little black dress and heels or an A-line skirt and booties, but that’s about all I can handle. I’ve been trying to wear more skirts and boots and over-the-knee boots paired with a cozy sweater so that I’m warm enough and comfortable throughout the day.
When it comes to pattern mixing, plaid and stripes are one of my favorite combinations. I have a few (read: too many) plaid scarves, but I promise they’re all different, just like my stripe tees. What can I say? We live in Wisconsin, and it’s cold for half the year. Plus, I tend to wear scarves to work as opposed to a statement necklace because usually the necklaces give me headaches (call me crazy, but they do). Plaid scarves are an easy way to add some more color to any look while also keeping you warm in those freezing cold work conference rooms.
I would dress this up a bit more for work by wearing a sweater or a button down. This top would be just as cute and a bit more work appropriate.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! xo

Wedding Wednesday: Getting Ready
I’m back for another Wedding Wednesday post! I was originally going to focus on the ceremony, but I thought I would start with some of the general planning information as well as details from our morning getting ready and what the guys were up to (it wasn’t your typical pre-wedding activity). “Wedding Wednesday: Getting Ready”
Updating Your Work Wardrobe
T.G.I.F. I thought it was Friday on Tuesday, and there was barely enough caffeine to get me through this week, but here we are. There have been a lot of good things going on lately, but I feel like I’m running around non-stop. “Updating Your Work Wardrobe”
Wedding Wednesday: Our Engagement
Cheers, friends! I’m kicking off a new series today. While we got married in September 2015, I thought it would be fun to share our engagement and wedding photos along with a few more personal stories about how Bill proposed, the planning leading up to the big day, the wedding itself and our honeymoon. “Wedding Wednesday: Our Engagement”
