Floral Fresh

Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi in Lincoln Park. // 8.17.14

Top: H&M; Jeans: Urban Outfitters; Shoes: Louboutin.

Love this bright yellow color!

Love white jeans. They always make a fresh statement.

So chic, yet slightly uncomfortable. But so chic.

In love.

One of my favorite restaurants to eat outside in Chicago. So chill, great for a glass of wine.

The corn soup with lump crab.

Sunday night we went to my favorite summer spot for dinner in Chicago, Mon Ami Gabi. Located directly off the park, they have the most wonderfully chill patio for al fresco dining. It can’t be beat. I wore my white jeans — my time to wear them is winding down — and paired them with my new So Liz floral Louboutins.

Black & Gold

Date night with the bf. // 8.15.14

Sweater: H&M; Shorts: Juicy Couture; Shoes: Louboutin.

Love these shorts, even if they are meant for running in.

Date night at Stella Barra Chicago.

Stella Barra Chicago's patio.

Sweater: H&M; Shorts: Juicy Couture; Bag: Badgley Mischka; Shoes: Louboutin.

I am a big fan of gold. Anything gold. So naturally when I found these shorts at Juicy Couture (which is no longer there, sniff) in Beverly Hills a few months back, I just had to have them. They are actually running shorts, but I knew with a few key accessories and some simple black touches I could turn them into a cute outfit for a night out on the town.

Afternoon tea at the Peninsula is something my mom and I have been doing for years. For this outing, I decided to wear a bright blue dress by Madewell — perfect for an afternoon of tea and pastries.
