Dear Kim

Dear Kim,

It’s hard to explain just how happy I am that you’re now my sister. You’re hilarious, kind, beautiful, smart, humble and fun-loving, and you’re everything I could ever wish for in a sister and friend. I’m so lucky.

Chicago is located on the shores of the Lake Michigan, and life completely revolves around it. There are parks and piers to visit, activities to participate in, events and festivals to attend, and boat tours and cruises to take. But my favorite part of Lake Michigan is its 26 miles of beaches.

We Made It.

Let’s be real. For every outfit that I share on this blog, there’s another one that is, well, pretty darn un-bloggable. My favorite is my “morning uniform,” which I wear long into the afternoon on an all-too-regular basis. It consists of black leggings, sherpa-lined slippers and whatever shirt I slept in the night before, and while it’s the comfiest getup ever, it’s not a cute look. I own two really cute pajama sets, but what do I reach for first? Mitch’s old t-shirts. Only when our hamper is completely overflowing do the fancy PJs make an appearance!

Chicago Elite Launch Party

Vineyard Vines Dress c/o (Old, shirt version here, here and here, and similar dress here) and Bangle c/o / J.Crew Pearl Earrings / Vera Bradley Satchel c/o / Barbour Rain Coat c/o Barbour (Also available here and here. And Vineyard Vines cuteness here and here!) / Charles David Wedges c/o L.L.Bean (Clearly the only pair of cute wedges I own) / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o / Kate Spade Sunglasses (Old, but love this similar pair by Tory Burch)

Guys, I love Chicago. Do I miss New York like crazy? Yes. But I freakin’ love the Windy City.

I do not, however, love its wind, as contradictory as that statement is, haha. OR its propensity for abruptly changing up the weather. One second it’s sunny; the next it’s foggy and drizzling.

Friend photos: Sunny and happy.
Outfit photos: #wtf?

(Dad, #wtf means “Where’s the food?” I swear.)

NoMI Garden Party

Devon Baer Dress c/o — Shirt version here and here; also available at Tuckernuck / Vera Bradley Tote c/o / Charles David Wedges c/o L.L. Bean / J.Crew Pearl Earrings and Tortoise Headband / Helen Ficalora Necklace c/o / Paul Hewitt Anchor Bracelet c/o

Last week, I attended NoMI Market, the Park Hyatt Chicago’s annual Garden Party, to celebrate summer’s arrival as well as the opening of the hotel’s gorgeous garden area. The weather, company (Jenn, Nicole, Arin, Blair and Jess), food and drink were all fabulous, and I was legitimately bummed out when the event came to an end. Needless to say, this girl is really excited about Chicago’s awesome summertime rooftop scene! Thanks for a great time, NoMI Garden!
