On The Road Again

Campos Bag (c/o) / J.Crew Sweater (On sale!) /C.Wonder Pumps (I know. Devastation. RIP C.Wonder. I’m obsessed with this similar pair of silver heels, though. / Michael Kors Watch (Old, similar silver Michael Kors watch here and here — on sale!) /Hazel & Marie Pearl Necklace (c/o) / Moon and Lola Earrings (c/o) / BlankNYC Jeans / Henri Bendel Bangle / Kate Spade Tortoise Sunglasses (Old, newer styles here)

Quick post today, as I’m traveling yet again. I was actually home on the East Coast for the past few days for my future sister-in-law’s bridal shower! (I apologize that I’ve fallen completely behind on my blog posts.) Today, I’m making that fabulous 12- to 14-hour drive back to Chicago, where these photos were taken. (I’m clearly in a fashion rut. Light blue sweater all day, every day!)

J.Crew Lady Day Coat

J.Crew Lady Day Coat, Janey Flats (Old, similar here and here, and obsessed with these J.Crew scalloped flats!), Pearl Necklace and Toothpick Jeans / Kate Spade Sunnies (Old, newer styles here) and Scalloped Bag (Old, newer scalloped Kate Spade products here) / Joyiia Elephant Bracelet (c/o) / Shokay Sweater (c/o) / Moon and Lola Carnegie Earrings (c/o)

Well, my friends… Chicago has been blanketed in many inches of snow once again, and this girl is feeling down in the dumps about the whole thing. March 16th was such a tease. (Remember this post?) So let’s throw it back to last week, when I was under the impression that winter was over.

The Cutest Gingham Dress

L.L.Bean Signature Gingham Dress, Tote, Wedges, Shorts, and Chambray Shirt (c/o) / Sperry Topsiders / J.Crew Earrings / Kate Spade Sunnies (Old, newer styles here) and Bangle (Old, newer KS bangle obsession here!)

The L.L.Bean Signature Instagram Takeover might technically be over, but this girl still has a lot of L.L.Bean-inspired posts up her sleeve. Like this one! How fabulous is this gingham dress?! (And the Lincoln Park Conservatory backdrop?!)

The dress is sure to sell out fast (as most adorable gingham pieces do), so be sure to nab one before it’s too late! Sizing tip: It fits true to size. :)

We Are Not Morning Girls

L.L. Bean Signature Monogrammed Dog Collar, Duvet Cover and Sheets, Dog Bed and Boatneck Shirt (c/o) / J.Crew Jeans and Pearl Earrings / Daniel Wellington Watch (Take 15 percent off with code “kellyinthecity15”)

I love sleeping late. It’s seriously one of my favorite pastimes. ;) Mitch, on the other hand, is an early riser–and often gets up at 6 a.m. on the weekends.

Shudder.

Lincoln Park Conservatory

L.L.Bean Signature Dress and Clutch (c/o) / Daniel Wellington Watch (Take 15 percent off your order with code “kellyinthecity15”) / J.Crew Pearl Earrings / Steve Madden Sandals (Old, similar here) / Kate Spade Bangle

Second stop on my L.L.Bean Signature Instagram Takeover tour of Chicago: the Lincoln Park Conservatory!

Despite the havoc that humidity wreaks on my hair, the Conservatory is one of Chicago’s coolest attractions, in my opinion. It’s a godsend, really. Especially in the dead of winter, when you desperately need an escape from the harsh weather. No matter what time of year it is, the Conservatory always feels tropical!

Tory Burch Private Sale

Who doesn’t love Tory Burch? My general rule, though, is to only buy when it’s majorly on sale, and to only own a few things that can be worn again and again. Everything is insanely gorgeous, but let’s be serious: everything is insanely expensive, too!

Typically, I skip the clothing and go for the bags, shoes and jewelry–during private sales only. (And the occasional Nordstrom event.) Below are my favorites from the current private sale, which is running now through Monday, March 23rd! Somebody please buy these wedges. They aren’t available in my size, but swoon!

Walks with Noodle

In this post:

L.L.Bean Monogrammed Dog Collar (It says “@noodleinthecity”–so cute!), Navy Door Mat, Signature Driving Mocs, Signature Short-Sleeved Sweatshirt, Signature Somerset Bucket Bag (c/o) / J.Crew Jeans and Pearl Earrings / Hazel & Marie Pearl Necklace (c/o) / Alex & Ani New York City, New Jersey and Nantucket Bracelets (c/o) / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o, Use code “kellyinthecity15″ to take 15 percent off your order!)

One of the best parts of our new neighborhood in Chicago is how friendly it is. It’s nearly impossible to walk down the street without bumping into someone we know, or someone new who wants to meet Noodle or simply chat. And we love that.

Some very exciting news over here on Kellyinthecity.com! Tomorrow, I’m taking over the L.L.Bean Signature Instagram account, which is essentially a dream come true for this preppy blogger. I’ll be posting from Friday to Sunday, and taking followers on a little tour of Chicago. :) I’m beyond excited!

Follow along on the Signature Insta account (as well as mine and Noodle’s), and check the blog for more in-depth coverage. For now, though, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of my first post! (And here!)

Windows Down, Van Morrison Up

Barbour Jacket (c/o — In navy here. Size up! I typically wear a size XS or 0 in jackets, and I went with a U.S. 4 in my Barbour.

Loafers (Newer pink style here) / Henri Bendel Bangle / Daniel Wellington Watch (c/o, Use code “kellyinthecity15″ to take 15 percent off your order!) / Kate Spade Sunnies (Old, newer styles here) / J.Crew Pearl Earrings

Monday was such a good day.
