Holding on to fall just a little bit longer over here… 🍂🍁

Chicago is having the most luxuriously long fall so far, the best that I can remember since I moved back from New York. Save for a few cold and rainy days, it’s mostly been warm and sunny. Trying to soak up every second of this beautiful weather 🥰

It seems like the holidays start earlier and earlier every year, and while I *am* looking forward to kicking things off, it doesn’t feel quite right just yet. Soon! Just not yet. 🎄🎁

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!! 🏳️

AD: All about a morning routine over here! ☕️

Now that the seasons are changing, it all starts with @cuddlduds. The coziest layers that take you from inside to out!

The first task on my to-do list each morning is walking the dog… Keeping my Cuddl Duds layers ready to go right inside my closet takes the guesswork out and makes getting dressed and out the door a breeze. No matter if your top to-do is school drop off or walking to get coffee, keep it cozy with Cuddl Duds!

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! 😳

Took Dave on a little getaway to 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐮𝐤𝐞𝐞 this weekend! There’s nothing we love more than eating and drinking our way through a city, and MKE did not disappoint. Already planning our next trip 🔙!

Save this post to reference back to, but I’ll be posting a full weekend guide on my blog this week! Here are the cliff notes…

I styled three transitional outfits from the recently relaunched 𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜.𝐜𝐨𝐦 — One for the office, one for the weekend, and one for a night out! 🪩 #ShowUsHowYouRock #Ad

𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧
I can’t get enough of these black coated jeans! They’ve got that leather look without any of the discomfort. Just the right amount of stretch and they pair perfectly with a pretty pair of pumps.
𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕

𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞
Nothing takes you from your desk to a dinner like a straight-fit pair of jeans and an oversized blazer.
𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒚𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 + 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆

𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫
You’ve got to try these denim leggings… They’re a must for tucking into tall boots this fall and winter! So comfortable with plenty of stretch, and they’re pull-on without any buttons or zippers. I love that there’s a faux fly and two back pockets so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing leggings.
𝑭𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑫𝑵𝑨 + 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉
