june highlights.

Woah now. Where the heck did June go? As I sat down to pull together this month's highlights it all was a bit of a blur and it was pretty hard to remember what happened this month vs. May (sometimes they all just blend together). After reminding myself what exactly I did this month I realized it was definitely the quietest month I've had in awhile - which was a welcome change.

Some highlights from my month:

Savoring the glory of summer in Chicago and finally forgetting about the Polar Vortex Sharing the details of my polka dot wall DIY project A fresh haircut from Carl at Sine Qua Non in Lincoln Park My first run in a LONG time - a 5K with my office (and a top 10 female finish!) Taking my new Kate Spade bag out for a spin with a classic Friday outfit Starting (and finishing) season 2 of Orange is the New Black A rather guilty looking dog after stealing her old toy out of the trash Dinner with MODE Media at Quartino catching up with Hallie Working from home sushi lunch and dog walks Enjoying the view at 52Eighty lounge at a MODE Media happy hour Celebrating B's birthday at Au Cheval with the most amazing burgers Fetch. Lots and lots of fetch (as usual) Spending some time poolside with a drink in hand Savoring peony season with some pretties on my coffee table Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world thanks to a handsome guy and cute pup Wearing the most amazing linen pants from Ann Taylor Mastering the art of frizz free summertime curls with some new favorites Realizing that it's impossible to have a bad day when you're wearing pink pants BANANA CREAM PIE ICE CREAM. That is all. Seeing Ray Lamontagne at Northerly Island with Sam Rocking the perfect summer braid thanks to the Sine Qua Non Style Bar Celebrating my 5 year adoption anniversary with my Callie girl Admiring the gorgeous views along the lakefront. Summertime Chi, you're great
