Friday Five

via
TGIF! I'm off to Boston for the weekend, therefore I have travel on the brain! Just in time for your (and my) Memorial Day getaways, are five travel- inspired posts, brought to you by some of my favorite Chicago bloggers. I hope you're spending this much needed long weekend jet-setting to someplace fab!

• Laurie of 312 Beauty shares her must- have bags for all of your summer weekend getaways. The "weekender" is a luggage staple that every girl on-the-go should invest in, and I must say, her picks are all spot on. I want one of each!
• I've been beyond jealous following The Sportsanista's recent adventures in Paris. This post showcases a chic yet causal outfit, perfect for walking the high fashion streets of Paris. Her photos and fringed purse will leave you with a serious case of travel envy!
• Not only is Kit of The Kittchen one of my favorite food bloggers, but she was one of my go-to's for restaurant suggestions for my upcoming trip to Boston. This week she reviewed Mercato, the latest eatery from Top Chef dreamboat Fabio Viviani. I love Sienna Tavern, so there is no question I will be paying Mercato a visit very soon.
• No matter where I visit, my heart will always belong to Chicago. If you're traveling to our great city anytime soon, check out The View from 5 ft. 2's 'Chicago Guide with Sosh', for restaurant and attraction recommendations, fit for locals and tourists alike. Don't forget to scroll down to check out her killer style (especially all you petite girls).
• I am OBSESSED with this black and white look from Megan of Stylish & Scatterbrained, who proves that simple does not have to mean boring. I'm using this look as inspiration as I fill my suitcase with neutral separates while packing tonight.
