Info Post
Happy Monday (I guess)... This weekend was a nice mix of fun, entertaining and relaxing.

Friday night we celebrated a friend's birthday while bopping around the lovely city of Chicago via a trolley. We loved having out of town visitors from Michigan and New York (wish this could happen more often!). Saturday was a day of rest, recovery and relaxation for me. We did some necessary brunching at Yolk, hit up Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale and spent the night watching a movie and dining on deep dish pizza. I also made some fabulous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Sunday we met up at Feast for brunch (we like brunch), did some more shopping (sorry bank account), watched the World Cup Final (sad), cooked a healthy dinner and celebrated national ice cream day with some Ben and Jerry's.

Here's to a wonderful week ahead and finally, these are few things I'm loving right now...

My new black dress {Trouve Cutout Back Silk Dress}
My newest go to oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe {found here}
Freshly sliced bread from Fox and Obel
{you pick the loaf and they slice it right in front of you = perfect}
Our view
{we have lived here for over a year but it doesn't get old. I'm reminded how lucky we are on sunny Sundays like the one this weekend. The day we have to move is going to be seriously upsetting}
This idea - Frame colorful shopping bags in simple white frames
{I'll have to back pocket this idea for when I have a sizable closet with extra wall space. A girl can dream, right?}
