Inspiring women to create and explore in everyday life.

Hi, I’m Makenzey Mae! I am a lifestyle blogger and creator based in Chicago.

I love to create through photography and styling my daily outfits. As a city girl, I enjoy exploring Chicago through coffee shops and strolling through new areas, as well as traveling across the country.

I hope to inspire women to do the same - to express their own creativity, and to cultivate curiosity through exploring no matter how crazy life gets.

Here you’ll read - and see - about my newest coffee shop obsession, my love for Chicago and California, and fashion tips and outfit inspiration.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

The Blog

From the days of dressing Polly Pockets, to working at Nordstrom on Michigan Avenue, fashion has always been an interest of mine. I love the creativity, the newness, the boldness of experimentation. Ultimately there are no rules.

On the blog, I share my personal fashion tips, outfit inspiration, and brands I love.

I’m proud to say I’ve been a Chicago resident for 10 years and counting. This city is full of life, gritty, and intensely beautiful. It may not be the biggest, but it sure is unique. (We all know it’s the best.)

I love sharing my favorite coffee shops, restaurants, and things to do in Chicago. If you want to know how to have a good time here, you’ve come to the right place!

I love to travel. So much so I have basically booked flights for other people. Like, you don’t even know.

I love documenting the new places I experience - the food, the architecture, the nature. And don’t get me started on travel research! I share my tips on how to do that, as well as my own experiences and recommendations.
