Loving Bambi's hair color in the first pic- I'm thinking summer hair inspiration?!

Teach U To Fly

I'm going to apologize in advance- this song is just WAY to addictive for it to be one minute and fifty-one seconds long. Just go ahead and turn on repeat before hitting play...

With a work trip next week to Atlanta being followed by a long weekend trip to NYC- I'm actually looking forward to flying! Even if it is partially for work, I'm LONG overdue for a trip! Looking forward to spending Memorial Day Weekend full of glamorous nights out on the town and mornings lounging with friends!

Looking forward to the downtime mixed with some sightseeing and just all around fun with some of my favorite people!

Buzzin'

I am definitely still buzzing from last night's DOMINATION over the Heat. Ugh- LOVE. IT!






Can't WAIT for Game 2!

Happy Cheery Monday my friends!

Real Life is Elsewhere

Not only am I in love with the name of the blog where I got this image- the image itself and the fact that it is inspiring Jared Van Camp's new restaurant endeavor in the old Marché location in the West Loop.... just no words.

Keith Richards and Gram Parsons laxin' out at Villa Nellcôte.

The new place will be called Nellcôte and I'm excited to see what kind of food loving will be thrown down when it opens later this year.

Love. It.

I think it might be time for me to take a vacation and leave the real world behind for a bit, but then again summertime in Chicago can sometimes feel that way don't you think?

My Weekend In Pictures: 5/6

Yelle show was awesome, the 2+ mile walk back to River North from The Bottom Lounge (concert venue) in the West Loop with an old friend was equally awesome, the dinner and free drinks at Vivo (seriously amazing food) thanks to a Miss Amber was awesome... My friday was just phenom!

Saturday at Sunda I had one of the best bites of food of my life thus far at a friend's birthday dinner- let me describe: escolar (white tuna) around rice, ok typical sushi bite thus far BUT THEN...top with a homemade potato chip...and top that with a piece of black truffle. I'm starting to salivate just thinking about it...

This is what my week has looked like so far and will continue to until Friday I fear:

Hope everyone is taking the time to enjoy this crazy weather and cheer for the Bulls!

GT Fish and Oyster for dinner tonight with Natasha the Crusher- will snap some pics to share tomorrow- can't wait! I'm going to try some new items this time...maybe. I can't help it- I'm a girl who loves her some lobster!

Je Veux Te Voir

Excited to see Yelle tonight at The Bottom Lounge! I'm looking forward to an exciting show full of dancing...assuming my legs are still moving come 9pm. Boot camp last night has pretty much put my legs out of commission today... I'm not lying when I say I am falling into my chair anytime I have to stand up and sit back down. *Sigh* I just keep reminding myself- no pain, no gain!

Enjoy some Yelle yourself today:
