{Chicago views from our trip last weekend...more photos to come}

Hello and happy Wednesday friends! Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

We had an incredible long weekend in Chicago not only attending a dear friend's wedding but also exploring one of my favorite cities that I hadn't been to in about 7 years! Of course there was the typical wind (It's not called windy city for nothing!) but other than that the weather was beautiful, the food was great and the people were friendly. I'll be sharing more on the trip soon, but in the mean time, it's back to reality. Unfortunately, that reality has included a website crash, a verbal attack from a random man on the sidewalk and the fine city of New York working on the road right outside our building right in the middle of the night (I'm talking massive spotlights, drills, trucks..the whole 9 yards, if 9 yards was an earth quake.). My only question- is it time to get away again?!

P.S. Thought I should clarify that I wasn't trying to complain by what I said up above, simply trying to sprinkle in a little reality to show that my life isn't all travels, pretty things and so-called perfect pictures.

{Unexpectedly greeted back from our trip by these pretty blooms (in a perfect summer-to-fall transitional color) that somehow managed to stay fresh and vibrant the whole time we were gone}

Quite possibly my favorite cat video of all time and one that I literally can't stop watching

Because we could all use a better night of sleep

Need this for fall

Fun living room vibes
