Hey girl! Our second favorite spot on our road trip across Wyoming and South Dakota was the magical location of Grand Teton National Park. This must-see outdoors heaven is where desktop wallpapers truly come to life with crystal clear lakes, towering peaks, and lush green trees. Read my blog, "Jackson Hole, Wyoming: Epic Outdoor Adventures Part I." Hiking through Grand[...]
Hey girl! Our first favorite spot on our road trip across Wyoming and South Dakota was the charming little ski town of Jackson Hole. If you're a skiier like my fiance, then obviously visiting this town is ideal in the winter, but much like many gorgeous ski towns, don't sleep on visiting during the warmer months! We stayed overnight in Jackson Hole in September, which is a great mo[...]
Hey girl! My most recent guilty pleasure was having the opportunity to enjoy an exquisite evening dining at a farm-to-table restaurant called FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar. This hidden gem is located conveniently in my neighborhood Lakeshore East, Chicago inside the luxurious Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel! The location is somewhat tucked away just south of Navy Pier in an area s[...]
Bonjour, mes amis! Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of experiecing Chicago's newest and hottest restaurant, La Grande Boucherie. This traditional French steakhouse and brasserie has opened its doors in the Belle Époque building in River North, my old neighborhood in downtown Chicago. And all I can say is WOW, what an experience! Firstly, you should know that I used to be abs[...]
Hey girl! I recently had the opportunity to experience absolute peace and serenity at AIRE Ancient Baths in River West, and WOW, my life has been forever altered! AIRE is a high-end bath house set in an industrial-style building (think exposed brick, concrete walls, and wooden beams). This luxury setting provides the experience of the traditional Roman, Greek, and Ottoman ancient baths[...]
Hey girl! I recently stayed in The Langham Chicago, a luxury 5-star hotel in downtown that is truly heaven on earth. Not to mention it's like 3 buildings away from where I live! The Langham Chicago is the perfect getaway for Chicagoans looking to escape winter in a nearby staycation that's close to home. It has romance, relaxation, great dining, and awesome amenities. Let me take a[...]
Hey girl! I just discovered an underrated dream vacation and wedding destination that I have NEVER heard about before: Puglia, Italy! If you haven't heard about Puglia either, you're not alone. Puglia (pronounced "pull-ya") is known as the unexpected wedding destination. But it's one you'll be glad you discovered from me after you read all about it. As a blogger, I was invited to a[...]
Hey girl! Last weekend, I had the total honor of attending the largest annual fundraiser for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: the Symphony Ball. Celebrating its 133rd season and hosted by the Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association, the glitzy spectacle raised over $1 million with a sold-out concert and post-concert gala that welcomed over 400 guests. Afte[...]
Hey girl! I|O Godfrey Rooftop Lounge is a must-visit, swanky, year-round oasis in River North atop The Godfrey. After a full year of living in Chicago and seeing SO much of its most glamorous things to do (and not having enough time to post about all of it, sorry!), I recently discovered this new gem that I simply had to write about. Last week, I had the pleasure of being invited to[...]
Hey girl! Last month, I had the honor of being invited to cover one of the most glamorous events of the season: the 2023 Wine Auction at Lyric Opera of Chicago. When I tell you it was a dreamlike Cinderella moment, that's even still quite understated. For those who haven't been to the historical opera house, the venue itself is already grandiose; but having dined atop the stage where t[...]
