I’m so excited to feature one of my new favorite Chicago bloggers, Maria of The Style Letters!

So happy to have you lady! xx
Haha i stalk the breaking bad cast too–another great feature, Maya!
Alyssa, I'm addicted to that show–I watched the entire series with my husband in a little over a month, and I'm LOST as to what to watch next! Nothing will compare. Unless I just watch the series over again.

Those pumps are gorgeous! And I have heard so much about the High Brow pencil. Can't wait to try it!
You HAVE to try the High Brow pencil! Seriously, better than a cup of coffee. (In terms of looking like you're awake, I mean.)
Thanks for reading!
