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;)

Leap into Spring

Yesterday was quite a crazy day here in Chicago. I woke up to the sun shining so bright in my room and it was so warm in my apartment. I walked through the kitchen and couldn't believe how hot it was, something was off. I checked the weather and it was already 54º at 8am!! I immediately turned off the heat and opened a window. I was so ecstatic, Spring!! 

I worked on Dethrose Vintage listings for a bit and then went to brunch with Kat. It was just so gorgeous out, we walked around soaking up the sun. Unfortunately if you live in Chicago you know the weather can change at the drop of a hat. One minute I was leaving my coat in the car and the next it's raining and dropped 25º with in 30 min. No joke, bipolar Chicago decided to turn right back into winter. Hey, at least I got to enjoy it for about 5 hours.
