Getting back to the basics. 

It’s about time I get back to doing things that I’ve really enjoyed. That starts here with Chi City Love! As promised, I will definitely posting more about things that inspire me and sparked the inception of this blog: Fashion, Food, and of course all things Chicago! 

I’ve been living in Old Town for a few months and ABSOLUTELY love it. (Old Town was recently named the #1 neighborhood in the ENTIRE country by Huffington Post!) I cannot wait to start sharing more of my experiences relating to the city I love! This summer is going to be incredible and I plan on sharing my experiences with all of you!

Things I love about summer in Chicago:

❤ The Beach 

❤ Riding the beach cruiser around 

❤ Street Fests 

❤ Green City Market & Lincoln Park Zoo

❤ Boating on Lake Michigan

❤ Lollapalooza of course!

I’ve been day dreaming about:

Eating brunch outside on a gorgeous summer morning, sipping on a vodka smoothie from Feast, with my sunglasses on.

Going for bike rides along the lake.

Running on the beach in the early morning. 

The intoxicating scent of Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil.

Tacos and killer margaritas at Big Star! 

Basically, I simply miss being outside & am COMPLETELY ready for winter to be over!! Who’s with me?

Before I explain what I purchased (due to those shoes!)
Did you notice how every store came out with high waisted denim shorts at once? From light washed to embellished to cotton candy colored?Do you ever think about who decided this was the next big trend?! Put it this way all these designers & retailers that are competing against each other decided that this was the next big thing that fashionistas like you & I would be into right at this very moment.. I honestly never would’ve seen myself wearing those kind of shorts! How do you feel about the high-waisted denim shorts trend right now?

As I already hinted at..I gave in! The weather isn’t even consistently warm yet & I’ve seen these shorts all over the place. They’ve definitely grown on me! Since the pattern on the pockets matched the shoes I chose these shorts by Joe’s!

Which led me to try on a shirt by Splendid that I also fell in love with & bought….oops!

These are super cute!

Took myself on a bit of a shopping spree today..I cringe at the amount of money I spent but I know every piece I purchased was worth it!

I went in a store just to look & ended up walking out with these..which I LOVE!! Best part they were already on sale! However, once I saw these I knew exactly what I needed to purchase next…

Keep dreaming always
