Jennifer Dunham Luby

Jen is a Chicago native who, after many years of planning events for corporations, associations, charities, and private clients, has officially hung up her event logistics hat and now focuses on the type of event planning she loves best - home entertaining. She believes hostessing is a fine art and that with a little help, anyone can be a hostess extraordinaire.

When she’s not trying a new recipe, staying active with numerous organizations, or exploring her Wicker Park neighborhood, Jen and her husband love to play with their dachshunds, travel the US and internationally, or just spend the night on the couch with a good Chicago pizza and episode of Family Guy.

 A travel and fashion blogger since 2005, in 2008 Jen launched SecondCitySoiree.com, which features advice, ideas, and inspiration for home entertaining. She is also the editor of YouKnowYouLoveFashion.com. Follow her on Twitter
