Father's Day on a Budget // FOX32

Last week I got to chat Father's Day gifts on Good Day Chicago, and had an absolute blast with the team! For the segment I teamed up with Block Thirty Seven to create a carefully currated collection of Father's Day gifts under $50. Inspired by four different types of dads, we came up with a list of products that I'm proud to say will leave both Dad and your wallet impressed!

Best of all, with Block Thirty Seven at the heart of the Loop, you can pick up Dad's gift right after work & just in time for Sunday!

Stylish Dad:Bucketfeet // Skinny Tie // Dress Socks 

Sports Dad:Blackhawks Polo // Stanley Cup Playoffs Hat

Business Dad:Chicago Mug // Card Holder

Well-Groomed Dad:Sephora Gift Set // Sabon Shave Set, Lotions, Scrubs

Happy Friday, Sportsfans!! If you're anything like me, today there's only one thing on your mind– game number 6!...

Let's be honest, being a Chicago sportsfan isn't difficult, especially when our Hawks bring home the Stanley Cup and all madness unsues across the city! While, it's been a slow week over here recovering from a cold, some things are priority, and I simply couldn't let the week come to an end without first celebrating our Chicago Blackhawks!

In the spirit of the Cup, Clark Street Sports recently opened a celebratory pop-up shop at the State & Randolph corner of Block Thirty Seven! This pop-up shop couldn't have arrived at a more opportune time, & the moment you walk in you'll feel the excitement! Here you'll find all of the sportsgear you could want, including this jersey & even some swag for the pups!

I'm proud to say we've earned that Championship title these past two years, and I can't wait for our Hawks to bring home the Cup for the third time in a row! So hop on over, and pick up some gear, then head to your favorite sports bar for what's sure to be a spirited evening! ;)

I'd love to see your game day looks, and don't forget to enter our Spring Around the Block contest for a chance at a $237 shopping experience! To enter simply share your best outfit pic on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook with hashtag "#OOTD37". For contest details, click here.

Guys, I can't even tell you how excited I am to share today's post with you! Starting today and continuing through June 11th, I, together with Block Thirty Seven, will be hosting a style contest via. social media, & I want all of you participating!

On June 11th, one very lucky contestant will win a $237 GIFT CARD to Block Thirty Seven, Chicago's modern shopping center, accompanied by a one-on-one shopping session with yours truly!

Located in the heart of the Loop, this is my go-to shopping center, and very much a symbol of Chicago life & style intersecting in our city.

My go-to shops at Block Thirty Seven include trend setting favorites, ZARA & Anthropologie (featured above), though I usually find myself wandering into Sephora, and somehow wind up with a cupcake or frozen keifer along the way. [Some things aren't meant to be examined, just enjoyed...]

Being somewhat of a social media addict, my favorite part about this contest is how easy it is to enter: simply share an outfit photo via Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and use hashtag #ootd37.

That's it! Easy as pie. And you can enter as many times as you'd like!

So, no excuses, Summer is here & I want to see and be inspired by all of your outfits! Go ahead, get started...

Significant

Today's look is inspired by these five words : "Make it simple, but significant."

A look like this is timeless, versatile, and easy to wear; good for errands, casual Fridays, or Happy Hour.

One of my goals this year is to shop less & choose well. While this is the first of me sporting this black shirt, I'm confident it was a wise investment.

The accompaniments to this look are simple, but statements nonetheless. I'm obsessed with this new bangle from Nordstrom, and paired it with my favorite bullet shell necklace by Vo Jewelry.

Coal Miner's Daughter // Feat. Buckley K

Happy Monday! As you're well aware via. Insta, the hubs and I are currently roadtrip-ing the east coast! It's been a blast so far & I'll be sure to follow up with a recap post once we return, but for now, I have to talk about a very important piece of my suitcase.

As you see, today's look has zero jewelry, and frankly, I wish I would have gone barefoot. When traveling, I want to remain stylish, but the jet setting attire we see celebs sporting, just isn't realistic for my non-jet owning lifestyle (#firstworldproblems).

Lucky for me (and you), here enters Buckley K...

Buckley K is the co-venture of two sisters passionate about travel. This brand is all about adventure, wanderlust, & practicality– the go-to pieces you can wear anytime & anywhere!

In the words of Buckley K, "The modern woman is a juggler...she is busy and on-the-go. Our pieces are designed to hit the road with her...."

You've seen me wearing Buckley K before, but this dress has been my uniform of choice for the long days of travel in our little wagon. Comfortable enough for the ride, and stylish enough for touring local attractions, Buckley K's lux yet laid back pieces have been a staple in this trip's suitcase!

Until next time... xo
