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

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
