Chicago Loves Part #1

Chicago Loves Part #1

What a wonderful, busy, crazy six/seven weeks I’ve had. I spent 5 weeks in Chicago last month training with my new company Aritzia. During my extended stay I got to explore and enjoy the city and wanted to share some of my favorite spots with you!

1. Penelope’s

1913 West Division Street: Ukrainian Village/Wicker Park

Absolutely stunning collection of all the brands that make my heart sing. APC dresses, Rachel Comey shoes, Alyson Fox jewels, Petit Bateau tees, I could go on forever. The whole aesthetic of the store inside and out was super inspiring, even if I didn’t have the dough to come home with anything! I am thinking about ordering these babies for summer.

Here are some instagram shots I took while exploring the shop…

I wanted this bug dress pretty bad.

2. Lula Cafe

2537 North Kedzie Boulevard: Logan Square

I shared a lovely brunch with two Aritzia gals at Lula Cafe. My indulgences: the best bloody mary ever,  carrot pancakes, and a lox plate. (Which I devoured!) We shared a large table on the recently remodeled side of the restaurant and I left happy!

Part two coming soon!
