I think breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day.
And it’s definitely one of my favorite meals to eat OUT. Especially when a city (like Chicago!) is sprinkled with heavenly spots like JAM.
My super cool aunt was kind enough to take me to the hot new spot before driving me to the airport.
Upon sitting down, we were presented with these little gobs of goodness.
Mini marmalade muffins with orange cream.
Adorable! Too adorable to eat? NEVER!
The homemade granola and greek yogurt immediately caught my eye.
See the raspberry preserves in the middle?
If there’s a hell, it’s a room of people being forced to watch others eat raspberry preserves and not getting to try any themselves.
Seriously.
What’s your favorite flavor of JAM?
Last weekend, I headed to the Windy City for Tracy’s Bachelorette Party. Shall we review my trip?
Day one – shopping and lunching solo
The day also featured a “spot of tea” with the lovely Jenn from Eating Bender - I love meeting up with blog friends. It was SO good to see you, Jenn 
Day two – Bachelorette Party
We spent the day at the beach and then headed out for a night on the town with dinner at Quartino followed by drinks and dancing at Howl at the Moon.
This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise! All dishes were designed for sharing, so we ordered multiple plates of goodness. I tried not to over-stuff myself, but it was pretty difficult – everything was delicious!
Of course we had to order a special dessert for our Bachelorette
Howl at the Moon
You don’t have to tell me how sexy that dancing face is, I’m fully aware of my awesomeness. Honestly, with some diligent practice in the mirror, you can look just as cool. Scrunching the chin to look as unattractive as possible is key.
All in all, my time spent in Chicago was nothing short of fabulous. It was so great to catch up with my oldest, bestest friend Tracy. Isn’t it amazing how some things never change? We can go for months without talking and then sit on the couch and chat from 5 p.m. – 1 a.m. chattering non-stop. Do you have any friends like this? Aren’t they the best? She really is more like a sister to me than anything else, and I can’t wait to celebrate her wedding in August!
Stay tuned for Puerto Rico updates!
Good morning and happy Friday!! If you follow me on twitter, you may know that I wasn’t the happiest camper last night regarding Lebron’s “Big Decision.” But instead of feeding into his ego and fueling the arrogance, I’m not even going to bother to talk about it this morning. How you like them apples, LBJ?
Instead, I’m off to enjoy a day in the Windy City! But first, let’s talk CLOTHES!
Two of my favorite outfits this week:
You can’t tell, but this dress is covered in doggie icons, Andy Warhol-style. I’m obsessed with it. It’s also borrowed from my mother, who consistently proves she has the best taste of any woman I know.
Dress: Anthropologie
Belt: Steve Madden
Shoes: Steve Madden
Purse: Betsey Johnson
How amazing are those shoes? Yea, I know
Dress: Anthropologie
Cardigan – not sure, it is VERY old
Shoes: Sam Edelman
Well, I’m off to explore!! Let me know if you are in Chicago and wanna grab a coffee or something!
See ya later, loves!
