A chocolate girl's career, style, foodie & travel journey.
While on a blogger’s vacay for the last few weeks, I rocked an oversized H&M Sweater and Topshop Leather pants on the sandy cold beach. I love the mix of the two very different textures. What are your favorite texture pairings?
You ever purchase something on a whim and feel so happy that you did? For me, this entire outfit is that. This silk blouse and Urban Outfitter skirt are two of my favorite purchases. I’ve had this blouse for some time but the skirt was a recent last minute, “this is cute and I love stripes” purchase. I love it because it’s sexy yet almost modest. “How could this be?” you ask. It’s past my knees, covering yet flaunting my curves. This year, I want to enter fall boldly wrapped in chic patterns, colors and confidence.
that time of the year again! Time to accessorize with an effortlessly fabulous coat, a la Olivia Pope. Living in Chicago, coats are a huge part of my life. There’s nothing better than having a chic coat! I mean, they’re the pre-outfit before the big reveal. Above are some of my favorites silhouettes, lengths and styles all under $200! Chic and inexpensive are always for the win! How are you draping yourself for fall?
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.Here in the U.S. we celebrated Labor Day Monday. Chicago is currently humid, hot, muggy and miserable. Everyone is talking about fall and how amazing the breeze will be, which is right on time because tomorrow New York Fashion Week begins. READ MORE

A few weeks ago I bought this super cute black and white striped dress from Urban Outfitters. I’m obsessed with black and white, all black or all white. I journeyed to the beautiful Gold Coast and voila. I can’t tell u why I love black and white. Maybe I’m obsessed because it’s just classic, chic & simple. Regardless, they are definitely two colors that go together effortlessly.
