Guys! I’m hosting an event at the Tommy Bahama Flagship Store in Chicago on Michigan Avenue (at Erie) next Wednesday, July 1st, from 6 to 8 p.m. with Shaheen, Jess, Johanna, Zahra and the Windy City Blogger Collective. There will be appetizers, signature cocktails and gift bags, and you can take $25 off your in-store purchase of $100 or more. RSVP here! We’d love to see you there!
In regard to these photos, Jess and I snapped them last Saturday atop Neal’s rooftop in Lakeshore East on the nicest day of the season to date. We had the best time taking in the skyline, laughing and sipping cocktails, and when it started to drizzle, I was devastated, haha. Good thing Jess and Neal have the place for another month, because I am permanently parking myself up there. ;)
(That’s fine with you guys, right?)
Anyway, I wore this linen top and these leather sandals from Tommy Bahama, and they were absolutely perfect for the hot, sticky weather. Chicago, while one of my favorite cities in the world, definitely got the short end of the stick in terms of weather. Temperatures that make your bones cold in the winter, and unpredictability in the summer. One minute it’s stifling and muggy, the next it’s thunder-storming, and the next it’s freezing.
Long-sleeved linen tops, I’ve realized, are a godsend. They’re lightweight and fast-drying, and they cover my arms and shoulders when the temperatures drop. They also protect from misquotes. And the sandals? Comfiest pair I own. You’ll be seeing them all summer, for sure!
Hope everyone’s having a great week! Hope to see you next Wednesday at Tommy Bahama. :)
(RSVP here!)

Isn’t the rooftop the BEST?! Neal and Jess are moving in August, so we really need to live it up during July! :)
That sounds like an awesome event! That rooftop view is gorgeous!!

Thanks, Alyssa! You’re such a sweetheart.
I adore your red handbag! And I LOVE Tommy Bahama! A store just opened up near me and they have the BEST beach stuff! Seriously, their beach chairs are probably some of the best I’ve ever owned! Wish I lived in Chicago so I could come to your event! Have fun!

Oh thank you! It’s actually Jess’ — but I steal it all the time, hehe.
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE BEACH CHAIRS. Must investigate…
Wish you could come, too!!!

I went to Tommy Bahama for the first time a few years ago when I visited Michigan Ave and was really impressed with their selection. We don’t have one near us but I like to stop in whenever I visit Chicago. I especially love their perfumes, they’re very “beachy” if that makes sense, haha!
