A Chicago Style Blogger Shows Us A Perfect Weekend In The Windy City
I love Chicago so much that I actually created a blog dedicated to the city -- and the fashion that goes along with it. Whether you’re interested in music, theater, style, art, or culture, there’s a “scene” in Chicago for everyone. Although I have many interests, fashion is my jam.
People always told me I had to move to New York or LA to make the fashion thing happen, but I wanted to prove them wrong. Now, we have quite the thriving fashion scene here in the Windy City, and it's pretty amazing to see it grow over the years. Because I have somewhat of a Midwest mentality, there’s a practical side to the way I dress, and I consider the weather for every outfit I put together…which is difficult, as it's so unpredictable here. I don’t want to ruin new suede boots or a silk dress, so I save things like that for days when there is a zero percent chance of precipitation. That’s what I deem practical. You feel me?
In partnership with Sunglass Hut, I'll show you my idea of a perfect weekend in Chicago.

Friday: Al Fresco Dining at Expat
I go to events three to five times a week during the weekdays, so on the weekends I just like to relax. Sometimes that means just sitting on my couch watching Netflix, and other times it’s grabbing early drinks with friends.

Friday: Al Fresco Dining at Expat
There’s a new place called Expat that just opened in the West Loop. It’s al fresco only and boozy snow cones…how could I say no?

Friday: Al Fresco Dining at Expat
Although I consider eating a hobby of mine, nothing makes me happier than doing so outside. And with the temperatures finally warming up, it looks like we can make this a regular thing!

Saturday: Grabbing Stems At Oliver Dogwood
I typically reserve the weekends for what I consider to be “fun errands” like getting flowers and plants, groceries, fresh coffee for the week, and so on. (Yes, I actually do enjoy these things. It’s better than getting paper towels at Walgreens!)

Saturday: Grabbing Stems At Oliver Dogwood
If I find myself in the West Loop, I’ll grab a few stems at Oliver Dogwood (pictured here). If I’m in my neighborhood, Lincoln Park, I love the succulent selection at A New Leaf.

Sunday: Catching Some Sun At Jonquil Park
I have two dogs, who I’m obsessed with to a point where it may not be healthy. When it’s nice out, I take them on super-long walks, or we’ll run around at one of the parks near my apartment to let out their energy.

They aren’t small guys so it takes more than a brisk walk around the block to get tired pups.

Sunday: Catching Some Sun At Jonquil Park
If I know we’re just going on a long walk, I’ll wear workout clothes but if there’s a possibility we might stop for lunch at an outdoor patio, I want to be dressed a little nicer…so, ripped-up jeans shorts and slip-on sneakers it is!
