$100 AmEx Gift Card Giveaway

Disclosure: Post and giveaway sponsored by XFINITY, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. As always, thank you for supporting the companies and partnerships that keep Kelly in the City up and running!

When I was a teenager, I distinctly remember getting ridiculously excited about new episodes of my favorite TV shows: “Gilmore Girls,” “Friends” and “Dawson’s Creek.” (I’m dating myself, I know.) I never missed an episode, and I was glued to the television whenever the shows came on.

Five Places to Find Paris in Chicago

A couple of weeks ago, Jess and I spent an afternoon running around Chicago, taking photos of and drinking wine in the city’s Parisian hotspots for an article that appeared a couple of days ago in The EveryGirl. (Mitch came along, too, hehe. He’s the best, and he’s responsible for the photos of us together!)

I know what you’re probably thinking: Chicago has Parisian hotspots?

It does. And they’re pretty fabulous.

Read the full article–and see all of our photos–here!

If We’re Being Honest Here…

The Black Dog Sweatshirt (I’m wearing a men’s XS, but you can find the ladies’ version here) / Vineyard Vines Tote (Old, newer style here) / American Eagle Jeans c/o

If we’re being honest here, sometimes I get really overwhelmed when I’m home on the East Coast. I put a lot of pressure on myself to see as many people as I can and do as much as humanly possible. And while it’s amazingly fun and so wonderful, I kind of kill myself trying to make everything happen–and beat myself up when I realize it’s not feasible.

New York: The Video

Okay. I realize that this video depicts Mitch and me eating and drinking our way through Manhattan this past week, but… well, this is real life. ;) Mitch is on vacation, it’s summer, and we were really happy to be back. So here’s a glimpse into what things are actually like when we aren’t standing in the middle of busy streets, trying to take beautiful photos and capture little details. Here’s a glimpse into something real.

Know Your Stuff: Optimized WordPress

If you have a blog (or have ever considered starting one), you probably remember feeling overwhelmed and confused about the technological side of it in the beginning. When I first decided to start Kelly in the City, I didn’t even know what WordPress was, never mind how to install it, update it, or back up its content.

Last weekend, my family and I attended an engagement party for Katie, my childhood best friend, and John, her fiancé. It was held at the Strawberry Hill Mansion in Titusville, New Jersey–and it was such a good time.
