Happy Links + Election Day
Election Day is here – is anyone else as nervous as I am?! Gracie and I flew home from Charleston last night and were exhausted from the trip, but my mind couldn’t stop spinning in anticipation for today. I’ve treated this election like my favorite TV show – coverage has been constantly on in our house, and I’ve planned whole nights around being able to watch the debates. I’m sure you agree that it’s been a wild, nail-biting election season and I’m looking forward to the way forward. Whomever you vote for, may it be the candidate who you feel will run our country with integrity, intelligence, and will uphold the strong values our nation was founded on.
In the meantime, I figured a few links that aren’t election-focused would be welcomed, because sometimes it’s nice to aimlessly peruse the web, right?! Here are some happy links to charm your day.

An Easy Way To Spruce Up Dresses
We all have one. A favorite dress that is worn season after season, year after year. It fits perfectly, is reliable in almost any situation, and is comfortable. It’s a classic. But there’s just one issue; all that wearing can make it feel just a bit…dull. Sometimes, even with the most reliable of pieces, you need to mix it up a bit. Jazz hands for your outfit, if you will.

A Day At The Apple Orchard
Can you believe tomorrow is November?! I can not comprehend it. It seems like just yesterday we were starting off summer, and all of a sudden the leaves are changing. With fall in full gear, I thought I’d share some photos of a fun day that we had a few weekends back, when my mom, Doug, Gracie and I went to an apple orchard near Chicago.

It’s Good To Be A Girl
I’m fortunate to be surrounded by strong women in my life. From work to family and friends, there are countless women who I admire and look up to for their strength and character.
Beyond those I know personally, when I think about being a female in today’s world, I am proud. More and more, we’re vocal about issues, aren’t afraid to tell our narrative, and prioritize our relationships yet aren’t afraid to take time for ourselves. You can have it all; family, career, friendship – all or none at once. It’s good to be a girl.

Year-Round Closet Staples
Confession: I get crazy excited to switch my wardrobe from spring/summer to fall/winter. As soon as mid-September hits, a few weekend hours are devoted to doing the swap. I close the door, blare music, and our room becomes a tornado in which clothes fly into heaps that I somehow deem organized. Once the warm-weather gear is carefully sorted, folded and put away, the sweaters, boots and scarves emerge, and I get giddy with excitement over the new outfit possibilities.
This year, there’s been a biiiig problem with this routine, though. Fall has been coming at a snail’s pace (Today in Chicago it’ll be 80 degrees – what?!) and the Indian Summer means I’ve been constantly confused at what to wear. All the knit and plaid has been on hold as I’ve reached for the items in my closet that work year round – you know, the ones that never make “the swap.” The 365 day staples, if you will.
