Normally I am not a gift list type of girl. I’m the one when asked “what do you want for X Holiday?” that says “oh, I don’t know, surprise me.” What can I say, I prefer surprises over knowing what I might be getting. I also feel that as we get older, if we need… Continue reading Holiday Gift Guide 2016
I often think about how amazing it would have been to have lived in another era. There are so many decades I would want to spend time in, for so many different reasons. The 1920’s and 30’s for fashion, the 1940’s for the jazz and big band music, the 1950’s for the dressed to impress-cookie… Continue reading Dream’s From a 1950’s Housewife
Well now, I have to admit, this isn’t really true at all. I am enjoying my vacation far too much to miss my own bed. However, I know that after sixteen days away, coupled with a work trip immediately after I return, that my own bed is going to be a warm welcome once I… Continue reading Missing My Own Bed
Summer is fast approaching and what screams summer more than fresh lemonade and all things citrus. Sadly, I don’t care for lemonade, but I do like lemon in my vodka, lime in my margaritas and anything with a cute orange pattern, so I can still join in the fun!

Summer is quickly approaching (I think) and with that comes sunshine, warm weather and the chance to enjoy every second possible outside. My patio is my place to do just that!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that spring is on it’s way to Chicago! A rise in temperatures always spurs the rise in my desire to spruce up my place. One easy way to do that, a very simple way, is to hang a wreath on your front door. Not only is it a welcoming thing… Continue reading Wreath Round-Up
Today it is snowing in Chicago, and has been the perfect day to curl up on the couch with some hot cocoa and a good movie, or 3! I adore my apartment and really put my heart into decorating it, and am so proud of how it turned out. (You can see the comfy living… Continue reading Comfy Cozy Home
One of the most fun parts of the holiday season is decorating for it! I am not normally the host for holiday meals, so my decorating expertise doesn’t usually extend into the kitchen or dining room, but this year I took a swing at it, as I hosted Thanksgiving for my parents. I love my… Continue reading Dining Decor: A Happy Holiday Table
I adore design, and have always loved decorating. HGTV is my favorite channel, and I have seen every single episode of House Hunters (probably twice!). When I need help falling asleep at night I rearrange rooms in my head. Odd tactic, I know, but it relaxes me. Needless to say, it’s probably obvious how excited… Continue reading Plum Perfection
Since joining the “real world” after college, for the most part I have found ways to keep my creative car in drive…whether it be decorating my apartments, crafting, styling my own wardrobe, etc.But over the past few years I’ve felt the need for a bigger, better creative outlet. What better option than a blog!… Continue reading Sarah In Style is born – My first blog post!
