It’s been a funnn summer to be a Cubs fan, especially now being able to *walk* to/from Wrigley Field! ⚾️🧢🐻 (Although scooters have become our preferred method of transportation! 🛴)

Dave has streamed every game we haven’t been at and it’s safe to say he was quiteee jealous @terez invited me to go to the Crosstown Classic last week to celebrate the launch of their @mlb collection! #terezxmlb
Got to witness Morel’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th and a Cubbie W over the White Sox. So much fun!! 🏳️

Also, thank you @cubs for having an off day on my birthday tomorrow 😅 Love you, mean it.

Power suit, but make it @revolve 💞

Had the best time yesterday at a little riverside lunch @pizzeria.portofino with @revolve & @nosotros 🍕🍝🥗🍹 Such a great way to kick off the weekend and so fun to meet a handful of new friends to follow, too!

Outfit is linked in stories! 🛍️

Anyone else still *fully* in Barbie mode? All pink everything lately and I’m loving it. 🩷

PS - This matching set is SO good! (And I totally plan on pairing the pants with other pieces in my closet, too!) Beyond flattering, too… The top’s wide set straps hit at the perfect place on the shoulder to cover up any ‘bra bulge.’ I’m wearing a M in both the top and bottoms, and the pants *do* run a bit big like the reviews say. I didn’t snap a pic until after lunch and was nervous my pants would be wrinkly AF after sitting for two hours, but it’s a slinkier fabric that creases less. If you need a cute little going out ‘fit, this one’s a 10/10 for me. 💯

We’re calling this the summer I got my health back on track… Or rather, the summer I 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 to. Two months in, and I’m realizing just how long these things take. ⏳
The last few ~interesting~ years and just generally getting older has had me itching to find a primary care doctor. Through a referral from a friend, I found a clinic that focuses more on preventative care, versus your traditional primary care. With most primary care in our country, you get 10 minutes with your doctor and as long as all metrics and bloodwork look ‘fine,’ you’re good to go and out the door.
At the concierge practice I’m going to, I was able to get A LOT of bloodwork done (basically what felt like every blood test you can run) and had an hour-long telehealth appointment a few weeks later to discuss my results.
And boy, oh boy, was I in for a bit of a 𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙚 awakening! 😳

Tigers don’t change their stripes 🐅

Remember the days of maximalist statement necklaces and layering on all of your jewels at once?! 🤩 I saw @instylemagazine report this trend is back for fall and I couldn’t be happier I’ve saved most of my jewelry from the early 2010’s. Bling it on, baby ✨🪩

This fab striped set is back in stock and only $89! I mean, it’s basically like wearing your PJs in public, but I got THREE verbal compliments from strangers walking the *one* block from my car to the party I was going to, so I’ll call it a win! 🏆 I had to steam it out of the box (obvi) and was worried it would be wrinkled from sitting down, but I was majorlyy impressed with the lack of wrinkles from wearing. 💯 I’m in the Medium.

My friend @jenniferlake launched her annual holida

My friend @jenniferlake launched her annual holiday collection with @sailtosable today and there’s no shortage of sparkle! ✨ I was so generously gifted a style of my choice and picked the Anne gold sequin maxi dress (swipe) — CANNOT WAIT to wear it for holiday parties this season. 🥂 I might just start wearing it around the house on a Tuesday morning because it’s that good! 🤩

They also brought back my favorite Charlotte sequin dress in this capsule collection! I have silver (pictured above), but it’s now available in a stunning emerald sequin fabric and a classic black sequin fabric, too.

A few notes on quality… The bar is set high! ⬆️ You’ll be hard-pressed to find dreamy sequins like this at this price point. These styles are fully lined through the bodice and not itchy at all. The fabric has a slight stretch to it and drapes BEAUTIFULLY. It’s hard to explain until you have the dresses on, but they both fall and swing so, so perfectly! 10/10. No notes. 🏆

There’s more info on my blog, along with four other brands that launched their holiday collections this morning! I’ve also linked both of these dresses in my LTK shop — click the blue link in my bio. 🔗
