I ♥ Chicago

Chicago is my town. I love everything about it. Even when we're having a crazy Winter with tons of snow. I can bare the frigid temps from time to time. Why? How? Because when the weather is gorgeous, this city's awesomeness comes through. You just feel motivated to do everything. When I wake up to a sunny warm apartment, I just feel an extra pep in my step! Just a simple walk around the neighborhood or outdoor seating at a restaurant can really brighten your day. I know it's the vitamin D, we need it! Well, I need it!

 Kat and I took a stroll down Michigan Ave today and stopped at the Lake. It was so clear and gorgeous. All I kept thinking was how much I can't wait for the vintage Spring/Summer season. Pop Ups and Flea Markets!! And of course, I thought about really stepping up my workout from 3-4 days a week to 6 days. Gotta get ready for those crop tops and swimsuits! My gams have been neglected for far too long;)

Apple Pickin' Part 2

Here is the finale of the Apple Pickin' adventure Leilani and I had this past Sunday! 

After the first orchard we came upon much more that this place has to offer. A field of sunflowers, a corn field maze and a much bigger orchard. What a day!

 

Leilani's amazing fall acorn bracelet, I am obsessed with it:) 

The larger orchard was definitely my favorite. It was so full and lush! Very serene.

 

 

And then just when you think it's over, a pumpkin patch! I mean this place had everything!! 

 I love how happy the jack-o-lantern looks!

I am happy to report that the apples and the varieties of apple butter, pumpkin butter and sweet potato pecan butter have all been amazing. So amazing in fact, I can not pick a favorite! The apples picked right off the tree are the best tasting apples I have ever had. Jubilee Fugi is where it is at!!
