Sea Bags x Kelly in the City Noodle Dachshund Tote Bag / Ralph Lauren Boxy Cable Knit Sweater (Size up! I’m wearing a medium here and it’s perfect. It’s available on Amazon in different colors, too. I also love this one, this one, this one, this one and this one. J.Crew’s cashmere version is another fave!) / Sperry Topsiders / Maternity Jeans (But this is my favorite pair of non-maternity distressed white jeans at the moment! Looking for something more classic? Try this pair or this pair. I own both and love ’em!) / Stamped Initial Necklace / Ray-Ban Sunglasses
Some randomness for you today:

We went to the Old Town Art Fair in Chicago yesterday. It was GREAT!
We go every year, but this was definitely our best experience yet. We loved wandering up and down the streets and popping into a few of the art stands–though it was difficult with a double stroller in tow 😜–and the food was phenomenal. It’s going on tomorrow, too, so if you swing by, I’d highly recommend trying Bocci’s sandwiches. Also, if you have children, check out the kids’ corner off Wisconsin. So many great activities! Emma attended a science “class” and did a ton of arts & crafts. She loved it!

My roommate and best friend from college, Beth, came to visit on Thursday.
It was unbelievably fun. She lives in Connecticut, not far from Fairfield University, where we went together–and we simply don’t see each other enough. We laughed so much, and it was just like old times. Mitch and I talked and we’re making a point of getting to Connecticut this year to see my Fairfield friends, and I’m beyond excited about it!

Mitch and I have been meeting so many new people, and we’re loving it!
I think it’s partly because of the location of the new house and partly because Emma’s involved in more activities these days, but it’s been so awesome. I feel like no matter where we go in Lincoln Park, we run into a friendly face, and this makes Chicago really feel like home. If you see us out and about, please say hi! As the weather’s “warmed,” we’ve so enjoyed meeting blog readers, too! :)

I’ve been on an Amazon tear lately.
I just want the house up and running, you know? Definitely doesn’t need to be decorated; I simply need things to function. And since running errands is almost impossibly difficult right now, I’ve been relying on Amazon, and I’ve been fixing all the probs. Here’s my Amazon storefront! I need to be better about adding products to it, but there are some gems in there. ;)

I’m featuring my Sea Bags x Kelly in the City Noodle Dachshund Tote Bag in today’s post!
I actually drew Noodle for this collaboration a few years ago, and then the Sea Bags team did the rest. I love how it turned out! (I’m also not an artist, so the fact that I was able to do this is nothing short of a miracle, haha. I think it took me five hours and 75 tries.)

This is my favorite Ralph Lauren sweater.
It’s available on Amazon in a few different colors, too. (Navy is adorable.) It has a boxy fit, so I would definitely size up. I’m wearing a size medium in these photos, and it’s perfect!

My Sperry Topsiders are on sale today.
I can’t imagine life without them. ;) They run TTS and are insanely comfy. My go-to weekend shoes during chilly summer days! (Ugh. Summer, where are you?!)
Anyway, I’m off to have a glass of wine with Mitch on the deck before bed. :) Hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
