A Little Day Date

Tee and Pants - J. Crew Factory / Sweater (similar) - LOFT / Scarf (super similar, similar for less than $10!) - Forever 21 / Boots (almost exact, gorgeous tan version) - Bandolino / Bag - Sole Society / Earrings and Ring - BaubleBar / Lip - Bare Minerals (in Juju)

Last week I took the whole week off of work for a little rest and relaxation. I wanted to do a little staycation here in Chicago had a lot of things planned for the week. Jeff was supposed to have the whole week off too but ended up having to work several hours every day, so we didn't end up having enough time to squeeze everything in.

We did, however, manage to make it downtown for a little day date! We wandered around Millennium Park in the cold and saw the Bean and the big Christmas tree, which was especially fun for me because I used to work a block away from the park so I'd go just about every day. After that we went up to Cindy's for lunch and a few cocktails. Cindy's is on top of the Athletic Club and has a beautiful view of the park and Lake Michigan. I made a reservation even though we were going really early, which meant they put us at one of the best tables right next to the windows - it was so gorgeous!!

The food at Cindy's was so good too - we freaking loved the tartine, and I even managed to get Jeff to share a salad with me, which is impressive because usually when we get small plates he only wants meat and more meat. I also accidentally ordered a cocktail that had scotch in it - whoops! Once I realized the mishap and ordered something I would actually like, I really loved the cocktails too.

After lunch Jeff had to go home to do a little more work, while I wandered the Magnificent Mile for some slightly tipsy afternoon shopping - always exciting ;) Now if only I could have another week off of work to explore the city!
