I dream of Tibi

Tibi definitely makes some of my favorite dresses out there- and my latest browse through the site didn't disappoint one iota! I often dream of days when my closet will be full of all the glorious prints Tibi offers and get excited!

I'm definitely stalking that amazing blue outfit- it might have to find it's way into my closet this fall. Did I mention there are also pants in that pattern!?! Kiiiiind of amaze. I didn't even attempt to touch the Tibi coats and fur items... I'm thinking a full post devoted to the fur pieces I love this fall/winter season is a must sometime soon...

What do you think- do you love Tibi as much as I do?

Great Gatsby Summer Soirée

Last week was spent putting fires out at work, and this week won't be much different I'm afraid... except for one major thing. The Junior League of Chicago's Summer Soirée is this Friday! I have been on the committee planning the event and was thrilled when we decided on a Great Gatsby themed event. While the event doesn't lend itself to full on costumes, "Jazz Age Cocktail" is definitely encouraged. While I didn't go as "jazz-y" as I originally had planned, I found a beautiful Tibi dress that just spoke to me- you can't ignore that can you!?!

So if you're looking for a fabulous, young and fun charity event to attend as your summer winds down come to the Chicago History Museum this Friday at 8pm. I promise it will be a night to remember!

Until then- some Gatsby inspiration for you! I'm thinking I should watch the movie sometime this week to prepare as well... care to join me?

Frisky

I don't want you to think I've forgotten about you, I haven't! It's just been a crazy, crazy week at work. TGIF!

I'll be picking up the blogging again soon, but until then here are some songs I have on repeat:

Watch the Throne

So I'm kind of obsessed with the cover of "Watch the Throne" (Jay-Z and Kanye's collaborative album that came out August 8th) - I'm a sucker for anything gold and shiny. I think I need to listen to the album a few more times, but currently this is my favorite song, "Gotta Have It":

Lucky Stars!

So I'm definitely in the middle of a lucky streak right now because I just won more tickets! This time to see Digitalism in the Hard Tour at Congress Theater alllll thanks to React Presents! I'm loving how my concert schedule is swiftly growing this week- late summer/fall shows in Chicago are the best!

I love that Digitalism just came out with a new album recently too entitled "I Love You, Dude". It has been on repeat since I got the news this morning thanks to Spotify!








Me thinks it's time for me to go buy my first lottery ticket ever- don't you agree!?!

Lillie Q and Tasting Table

I have to thank Tasting Table Chicago for giving me tickets to one of their Summer Break BBQ events that was held last night at Lillie Q's in Wicker Park. As any quasi-into-food Chicagoan knows, Lillie Q's has been quite the popular BBQ joint in the city. I was super excited to finally get to try out the place, and let.me.tell.you. Deeeeelish. I also was a big fan of the Tamari malbec being served- will definitely have to pick up a bottle(s).

While Chicago Q still holds a special place in my heart in terms of BBQ joints around town, Lillie Q's has now definitely been added to the list of BBQ joints I adore and need to frequent...often!

The Hot Smoky sauce was where it was at!

Gotta love 2 ladylike girls gettin it in at a BBQ joint with no care of the pictures being taken as they overeat.

Pimento cheese
Regular fries
Sweet potato fries
Ribs
Pulled pork sliders
Tri-tip sliders
Strawberry shortcake

Staring to drool thinking about it...

Do you have a favorite BBQ spot in Chicago?

Everybody's Looking for Something

Sure it was a weekend full of bands and DJs, but I'm already amped up for another show... Avicii will be hitting Congress Theater October 1st again after his last show sold out! I'm on the hunt for a companion to the show so let me know if you're interested!
