Light Layers
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but neutrals are my go-to lately. I’ve been living in them as well as these pink Hunter boots which add a little something to the otherwise colorless outfit. People have constantly been asking about which boots are best for winter & I strongly recommend Hunter rain boots. They’re weatherproof which is essential this time […]
Pastel Pink
When asked my favorite color I quickly & confidently respond with, “anything pastel”. Ever since I got over that neon phase (circa 7th grade..thankful that ended quick) I’ve always gravitated towards the softer hues of pastels. You’ve heard me blab about my pastel blue winter coat & now I’m onto another one: this perfect pink coat! Shop this […]

Where To Eat: Carnivale Chicago
One of my favorite things about Chicago is that there’s no shortage of incredible food. Most every street bears at least 2-3 restaurants & since us Chicagoans are such foodies, only the best ones survive. Earlier, in 2015, Carnivale celebrated 10 years of incredible cuisine, so you know this place is good. If that wasn’t enough, I scoured out their dessert […]
Bake 425
There’s absolutely no time of year I’ll pass on a pizza. From when it’s too cold to even think about going outside to a party by the pool, pizza always seems fitting. Not to mention, I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like the stuff. Bake 425, a new Chicago company, is changing the way we […]
Rainbow Cookie Doughnuts
People often ask what prompted me to start this blog. After graduating college (where I didn’t have more than a microwave for four years) I began baking constantly. It was around that time that Instagram was really blowing up & I began posting some images of my baked goods on there. People were constantly asking […]
3 Ingredient Easy Cake Batter Milkshake Recipe
There is absolutely, positively no reason you shouldn’t make this milkshake. It only requires 3 ingredients, 1 tool for cleanup, & 4 minutes of your time (not even 5 minutes, people). Plus, it tastes like a heavenly slice of cake mixed with a creamy milkshake because, well, that’s exactly what it is. If you want […]
Cinnamon Roll Popcorn with SkinnyPop
Did you know that microwavable popcorn is one of the WORST things you can put into your body? The bag you make it in is filled with tons of harmful chemicals that have been linked to some pretty scary diseases (source). As someone who thought it was considered a “healthy” snack I was shocked & disappointed […]
Currently Craving
Lately I’ve found myself gravitating towards everything neutral. Maybe it’s as I’m getting older I’m starting to actually build a wardrobe instead of just buying in the moment. Or maybe it’s this more so than usual confusing weather that’s throwing me off. Either way, I don’t hate it. This cozy sweater from H&M immediately caught my eye as […]
Funfetti Layered Cake With Cake Batter Ganache
Sure I’ve done tons of funfetti recipes before & even tons of layered cake recipes, but this one is certainly unique. Topped with a cake batter ganache, this is the ultimate funfetti cake recipe. Speaking of that ganache, if you scour the internet as I do, you’ll notice the only types of ganache recipes out there are for dark, […]
