Launched in early 2016, The Casual Luxury is an outlet to share my love of travel and event planning. Whether it’s planning a weekend trip with my husband, stretching my airline miles for an upgrade, or throwing together a dinner party for my friends, you can almost always find me mapping out my next adventure.Why The Casual Luxury? To me, Casual Luxury is the perfect term used to describe the little luxuries that can be added into life. Whether it’s a glass of champagne, creating the perfect tablescape or getting the upgrade at a hotel, it’s the little things that make the experience.
After growing up in a small town in Nebraska, I made the move to the Windy City – Chicago. I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I earned a degree in Hospitality and Event Planning (I swear, it’s a real thing).
While working in the finance world, the Casual Luxury became my creative escape. It’s through this outlet that I found a passion for social media, website creation, and the world of digital marketing.
