seeing stripes

Stripes are bold, especially black & white. It takes an average white or black piece and amps up the fashion while still keeping it fairly neutral. Black and white stripes can go with almost any color and can be dressed up or down. Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2013 runway was full of big black&white striped statement pieces.

here are a few pieces I love!

fall color ~ red wine

I love red wine. Fortunately, so does the fall color palatte.

Red/burgundy/wine is huge this fall. It’s a new neutral because it goes with everything & adds an interesting color to any outfit. Try grabbing something in every piece in this color and add it to your daily wardrobe!

I just bought these burgundy ankle-cuffed pants from Urban Outfitters.

chicago symphony orchestra at ravinia

Ravinia is a large outdoor concert venue in the suburbs of Chicago. The concerts start in June & end in September, and there’s a concert almost every night! Both of us, along with our college roommates, went to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Ravinia a few days ago and had a great time with amazing food & wine.

huge field for people to sit on blankets, eat, drink, relax, & listen to music!
