I went to the Spring Training Red Sox game this past weekend. My husband is on the board for the Boys & Girls Clubs so we attended with many others from the organization, including some of the kids! The Red Sox association invited the kids and board members onto the field before the game and presented the clubs with a check. It was a really cool experience watching these kids having such a great time!
I grew up playing softball and have always loved the sport. I love attending games not only for the game but for the event as a whole. I love watching all the fans getting ready to cheer on their favorite team and of course the ball park food. Who doesn’t love a good beer and a hot dog!
Prior to leaving for the game, I struggled with an outfit. When you aren’t necessary a die hard fan of either team, what should one wear? I am always confused on this matter. I like to dress the part when attending events, but obviously a Red Sox jersey was not in my closet. I ended up opting for black leggings and a cute tank top with a jacket and flats. It worked because this was somewhat of a work event for my husband, so I didn’t want to appear too casual! I’d like to know what do you all wear to a baseball game at night where you need to be somewhat professional but still want to dress the part?
Meet Sarah! Sarah is a busy marketing assistant and always has a smile on her face. She looks stunning. I love how she paired this neutral scarf with black details with a bold cardigan and black tights! Thanks Sarah!
We absolutely love when happy ChiChi Collections customers send in their photos and were thrilled when we saw Sarah doning this ChiChi Collections Scarf.
This scarf was a hit and sold out quickly, so unfortunately it’s no longer available but check out some other fabulous scarves!
All week I was anticipating meeting up and spending time with one of my old college roomies on Saturday night. It’s always hard when I head back to Chicago to spend quality time with everyone. So it was nice that she was down here in Marco on vacation and I could spend some time with just her. We decided to hit up 5th Ave in Naples for some great sushi and wine with my husband and her friend from high school. It was a blast, lots of laughs and reminiscing of old times! We lived in a house with 5 girls, so of course we had lots of funny stories.
I decided to wear this Missoni print dress (Old, Mimi Chica from Nordstrom’s) and this Classic Cruising Necklace from our boutique. I am a huge fan of this teal hue right now and just loved the vibrant colors in both this dress and necklace.
Dinner arrived and we loved the presentation.
R – Though the visit was very brief, I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon – catching up, creating new memories, and just being with you, always a blast!
The other night we had dinner event to attend at my husband’s parents house with some of his real estate clients. I had just scooped up this cute Classic in Stripes Top from our boutique and couldn’t wait to wear it. This mocha and black stripe top was a great addition to my closet. It’s very versatile. The material gives me the impression that it can be dressed up or down. It was a pretty casual night, but I love getting a little dressed up which is why I paired this tee with some high-waisted scalloped edge shorts that I had gotten a while back, a jean jacket (was getting a little chilly) and some black pumps. I finished off this look with my favorite red lipstick and simple jewelry.
I love cookies, but not baking! So when I came across this picture of these adorable Easter egg cookies I was very happy to see that all you have to do is slice and bake and add a few toppings. These are simple and so festive for the Easter holiday. By the way, if you have little kiddos they will love these Easter egg cookies too!

So I have to admit, I’m probably the last person on this planet to purchase a maxi dress. My sister on the other hand probably considers maxi dresses a staple in her wardrobe! Now maxi dresses are nothing new in fashion, but seem to have grown in popularity over the past few seasons. I guess, why not? They are visually stunning. Maybe it’s because of the length, but whatever it is…I always notice someone when they are wearing a maxi dress. These dresses are typically lightweight and really comfortable. I love that you can feel beautiful in a maxi dress and still be comfy. Since summer is right around the corner, we couldn’t wait to start ordering a few for our boutique. Hope you like these as much as we do!
By the way, use promo code “Maxi” and save 20% on your new maxi dress!

This past Sunday was my kind of Sunday. A little lazy mixed with some fun! We started off the morning relaxing a bit and then ended up heading to the Greek Festival in town. I had been dying to attend the last few years but unfortunately never made it. It was full of friends, amazing food, entertainment and people watching.
I threw on this floral maxi dress that I had purchased a few months back from Nordstrom’s to head out. I wasn’t sure what to wear to the Festival as the weather was overcast and a bit windy. As it turned out as the day went on the sun appeared and it ended up being a great day!
My nephew, Drew loved riding all the rides. It was fun seeing his excitement before each one. The Ferris Wheel is a staple carnival ride and I knew I had to capture it as part of our day!
As I mentioned the entertainment and food was amazing. Here are a few of my favorites from the day!
