Friday



A day at work: H&M Lace Top, United Colors of Benetton Skirt, Steve Madden pumps, Timex watch, Viv&Ingrid hoops, Target sunglasses.



Outdoor dinner with friends: J.Crew ikat scarf, Ann Taylor tee, J.Crew sequin skirt {similar style}

Well, let me explain. 1. Having photos taken of yourself {on purpose} is weird - at first, then it's kinda fun. 2. Everyone in my life is traveling, hence the patio background and my only option. I promise that these photos will get better! Here are two outfits from my week. I will try to share more week by week, but this was a fun #1!

Happy Friday my dears! What are you up to this weekend? I plan on enjoying Chicago, brunching, soaking up some sunshine, stopping by the Farmers Market, crossing some items off of my to-do list, slipping in some hot yoga, and trying somewhere new/fun for dinner. Can you believe it is the first weekend in August? Only a short month left to enjoy this beautiful Chicago summer, and enjoy it I will!

Pop over to Breakfast at Toast today where Danielle is celebrating her one year anniversary in Chicago and sharing The Ultimate Chicago Guide from a handful of fabulous windy city bloggers! xo

Segway Tour of Chicago - I grew up here and this is still a blast, especially because you get to wear reflecting vests and segways are incredibly awkward, plus the coolness factor.

  14. Gorgeous and you pulled off navy and black and those glasses perfectly! I've been wanting to try wide rimmed glasses and even bought a pair, but whenever I put them on to go out, I always look in the hallway mirror and take them off at the last minute. Someday... Have a fantastic weekend Liz!
