Had such a glamorous time at the @lyricopera 2023 Wine Auction last weekend! 🍷 Can’t wait to share ALL the fabulous details on @chicagostarmedia and in my blog so stay tuned for info on the featured vintners — like the guest of honor @maisonjosephdrouhin — for all my fellow wine lovers! 🥂 Also, if you haven’t yet experienced the pageantry of Lyric Opera of Chicago, be sure to grab tickets for their upcoming performances of West Side Story starting Friday, June 2. 🎭 Thank you to the 2023 Wine Auction’s co-chairs Nancy Searle and Erica Sandner and vice chairs Suzanne Mulshine and Eileen Murphy for allowing me the inside scoop of the planning for this incredible spectacle, and for allowing me to cover it on behalf of Chicago Star Media! ✨ #lyricopera #chicagostar #wineauction #winelover #vintner #editor #winemaker #auction #opera #operahouse #downtownchicago

Had an incredibly serene afternoon with @sloluz making the cutest candles at @candlecastleco — and there’s simply no better place to do candle making in Chicago! 🕯️ I wrote all about the soothing experience and how this is the perfect activity for a rainy day or even a chill adventure for bridal parties (the all-white interior is drop-dead gorgeous and the heavenly scents are icing on top of the cake!) Thank you to your amazing instructor Sunshine who lit up our session with her joyful personality AND for recommending the best lunch spot across the street while waiting for our candles to cool ➡️ @thestopalong 🍕 Head to the #linkinbio to read the full blog and book your experience! Thanks for the invite @sloluz 🥂 #candlemaking #candlecastleco #candlelovers #rainydayactivity #bridalparties #thestopalong #newyorkstylepizza #diy #diycandles

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés is the perfect spot for upscale pre-opera dining in Chicago, just steps away from the renowned @lyricopera ❤️ From the excellent service and intimate ambiance to decadent bites and breathtaking views, it’s an absolute MUST for meat lovers and foodies alike. 🥩 Head to the #linkinbio to read my new blog with reviews on daring and inventive dishes from Michelin-starred @chefjoseandres including: 🌮 Unconventional tacos with caviar 🍭 Cotton candy foie gras 🍟 Patatas bravas 🥯 Bagels and lox with salmon roe fish eggs 🥬 Grilled gem lettuce 🥂 And my choice of wine, of course! Thanks for joining me @sloluz 💕 #bazaarmeat #chefjoseandres #downtownchicago #steakhouse #barmar #restaurantreview #foodblogger #travelblogger #foodandwine #winelovers #steaklovers

When you grow up religiously reading @teenvogue an When you grow up religiously reading @teenvogue and @voguemagazine and then get to DINE in one of the designer stores you fell in love with as a little girl 😍…who knew this was an option?! The @ralphlauren Chicago restaurant is très chic, my friends. It has amazing escargot (not too salty and was great paired with a dryer Reisling), a delicious crab cake that was the perfect size and not too rich, and had just all around INCREDIBLE service (I haven’t had service this good since taking my car to the @lexususa dealership in Bellevue, WA 🤣). The entire ambiance is a total bougie vibe that made me feel right at home. 🙏🏽🥂 Got to experience just a little taste of all the amazing things to come. Always so grateful to have places like these right at my finger tips in this incredible city that also act as a reminder of what I’m working towards! ➡️ Head to the #linkinbio to read my full review in my new blog, “Ralph Lauren Restaurant in Chicago: High Fashion Meets World-Class Dining.” 😍🙌🏽 Thanks for keeping me the best company lovely @sloluz ❤️❤️ #ralphlauren #ralphlaurenrestaurantchicago #rl #chicago #wineanddine #foodblogger #lifestyleblogger #downtownchicago #designer #poloralphlauren
