My husband and I will soon escape Chicago’s cold weather to soak up the sun in Tulum. Here are a few items that I’ll be bringing on our trip to Mexico! This year, I decided to add a white bikini into my wardrobe. After spending hours online shopping, I decided on another one from Proenza Schouler. I love the black and white bikini I purchased a couple of years ago and was excited to find this one – super comfortable and a great fit. Also, since my hair is short and I can’t pull it back, I wrap it up in silk scarves. It’s easy and keeps me looking chic on the beach! Sunshine, beaches, tacos, and mango margaritas for days!

jumpsuit: c/o Tobi // scarf: Gucci similar// heels: Vince Camuto // earrings: COS // shades: Marc Jacobs

Jumpsuits are a favorite of mine – easy to dress up or down and always comfortable. This moto jumpsuit from Tobi has just the right amount of edge and street chic style. It’s perfect for Saturday night cocktails or Sunday brunch on a patio. And because I love jumpsuits so much and think everyone should have one in their spring wardrobe, one lucky person will win this one (different from pictured above)! In the comment section below, tell me how you would style it and a winner will be selected on April 15th!

I’m loving the new Nude Sheer Lip Gels from Marc Jacobs! There are 7 neutral colors to add just the right amount of shine and shade to your lip. Oh, let’s not forget the conditioning and moisturizing ingredients – vitamin e, myrrh extract, and monoi butter – to keep your lips soft and kissable!

Neutrals and all-black looks are far from boring. They’re versatile, chic and elegant. And they are often easy to style in different ways. Here I wear an oversized/asymmetrical turtleneck with jeans and zip-up booties. A grey and tan coat adds just the right amount of contrast and texture.

I love the simplicity of black and white together; it’s classic and effortless. A moody lip is a nice pop of color, and you can never go wrong with a pointy shoe. Have a nice Monday!

Summer time calls for Summer shades! Even if I do wear sunglasses year round, it’s always nice to add a new pair to your collection. Here are a few classics that can easily be worn year after year, and with a variety of outfits. I like to think of a pair of sunglasses as I do a great investment bag; quality over quantity.

It’s always refreshing to change up your beauty routine and colors for Spring. I’ve selected a few of my favorite products and a few that I have my eye on…that Marc Jacobs gloss is so pretty! I generally stick to a natural palette and will occasionally wear a bold lip for something different. I’ve been wearing Amber by Prada consistently for 8 years, and will never stray away from this elegant aroma. What are some of your favorite beauty products and trends?
