About Me

Welcome to Something Whitty – I’m Whitney! I’m a Midwest girl here to share my affordable and fun fashion, beauty, home decor and lifestyle tips with you. Below is a little more about me…

I work full time in marketing for a small fashion technology company. Prior to this, I worked in the hospitality and retail industries. I’ve always had a love for fashion and style. During my time in retail, I was able to let my creative juices flow in my stores and had so much fun styling different looks. While I love fashion – and wish I could afford all of the designer bags and shoes – I am truly a bargain shopper. I have a very hard time buying anything full price – so you will find a lot of sale items from me! Even when I do buy designer items, I usually get them on sale – or I buy them while in Europe because they are typically less expensive there.

Some of my favorite things are traveling, trying new restaurants, my puppy Josie, pure barre, and wine – oh and obviously my husband Nick. He’s my Instagram husband and takes pretty much all of the pictures you will see on here and on my Instagram.

Now for a few Q&A…

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Chicago, in a neighborhood just outside of downtown, called Beverly – like Beverly Hills, only this neighborhood only has one hill.

Why did you start a blog?

I considered starting a blog for over two years. I actually created my Instagram and blog domain two years before I ever posted or launched anything. My excuse at the time was that I got too busy at work and ultimately put this on the back burner. A few years later, I found myself in what some might consider an unfortunate situation – my job was eliminated with my former employer in the fashion industry. It was definitely a tough pill to swallow at first, but it gave me the time to focus on what I’m really passionate about – fashion, food, traveling, fitness…just to name a few.

Where do you live?

I live in a neighborhood of Chicago called Bucktown with my husband, Nick. Nick and I bought our first home in June 2015 – a two bedroom condo where we currently reside. We love our neighborhood and have seen it change so much in the almost 5 years that we have lived there.

Any other questions, message me on Instagram or submit your info on my contact page.

XOXO,

❤️ Whit
