Chicago
Since being engaged and planning a wedding back home in Illinois, it feels like we are weekend commuters. So many Fridays, D and I roll out of Madison and into Chicago late at night and make the return Sunday. Most of those trips are spent in the suburbs, which don’t get us wrong, we love.…

Neutrals
Lately, I’ve been wearing neutrals. Muted blues, grays, creams, rose, etc. I think I am in transition with my style, but trying to be practical with all of my purchases. I more often wear neutrals than crazy bright colors, so am I really trying to streamline my shopping. H&M and Target are absolute go to’s…

Fourth of July
This summer has just flown. Maybe it’s wedding planning, maybe it is just the post college life. But, the fourth just seemed to pop up this year. We had a busy start to our summer months, and I think now we have some relaxing weekends ahead of us. I’m hoping to crank out some more…

Getting Crafty
Kell and I are always saying one of these weekends we are going to sit at home, relax, and make craft cocktails. Does that ever happen? Well, no. Not until last weekend. Last weekend was Shake the Lake, Madison’s pre July 4th extravaganza. The night was filled with friends, food, live music, and an over-the-top firework…

Chicago Weekend
Just a short couple weeks ago D and I were back home in Chicago. Father’s Day rolled around and we found ourselves heading back home. As much as the struggle of driving there and back so frequently is insanely grueling, summer nights with family and friends makes it that much easier. The night was perfect.…

Seven Years!
We celebrated our seventh anniversary yesterday. Just seven short years ago, high school Dillon asked me to be his girlfriend. And the rest is history. Lot’s of things happen to a person in seven years. Especially from high school to post college. Wow. We both have done so many things, and grown up so much.…

Market Day
This past weekend, both of our parents came up for the day! The weather actually panned out for us, and we spent much of our day outside. Since we are so close to the Dane County Farmers’ Market, we decided to walk around there. As it is the beginning of June, it was the kick…

Apartment DIY’s
D and I are all about home projects. We are endlessly pinning ideas, and trying new things. So I wanted to try a project to recycle some pieces and reflect our changing styles without breaking the bank. Lately, I have been digging the neutrals. Browns, blacks, greens, whites, etc. Earthy tones. I think this is…

BBQ
We decided to spend Memorial Day weekend back home in Chicago. It was a great chance to relax with our families, enjoy summer time meals, and get outside. Dillon and I have a habit of hoping for super relaxing weekends with no commitments. But, we always end up trying to cram as much as we can. …
