A midwest girls pursuit of travel, fashion, food and martinis
Back with another installment of our Iceland Adventure. See Part 1 here. I'll cover days 3-4 (we were there for 10 days total so there will be many parts to this adventure.) Back on the road again for days 3 and 4! I would be remiss if I didn't mention a little bit about the food… Continue reading Iceland Part 2
Taking a brief break from Iceland to share with you some of my favorite new pieces for spring, some of which I will be taking on my California trip in May. As you will see I am not a big fan of jeans or pants. I basically live in skirts and dresses all year round.… Continue reading My Spring Favorites
I briefly mentioned in my return post that the hubs and I vacationed in Iceland last summer. It was quite possibly the most amazing trip of my life and I desperately want to live there.

So it seemed like the perfect opportunity. I am a… Continue reading Napa Valley/ Sonoma Trip

However when I hit 30 all hell broke lose, like my body realized I missed the problem skin teenage years and decided to do it now. So gone are the days of "this… Continue reading My Skin Care Routine
Alright this is something that I've struggled with and I feel at the age of 32 I should have figured something out, but I haven't. Ladies, how do you find the motivation to run or workout the first day or two of your period? Seriously I have ZERO energy and between the cramps and other… Continue reading #motivationmonday
Back with another TGIF post! I am so ready for this weekend, even though this work week wasn't particularly stressful. Hoping to tackle some more spring cleaning projects. The high of my week was: Seeing Richard Turley at the Walker Art Center. The hubs gets Bloomberg Businessweek and normally that magazine wouldn't be my cup of… Continue reading TGIF
So after taking on the role of EVP for the Junior League and the hubs taking a new job for a start up we decided we had to switch up the home office situation. I don't really have any pictures of our office before because it was usually a bottomless pit of papers to sort… Continue reading Office Makeover
