After a particularly rough day, I’ll take all the extra cuddles with this sweet one I can get.
Neck scarf trend: Yay or Nay? blouse ($16 and one of my favorites)
Uniqlo is coming to Chicago! They open on Michigan Ave on Oct. 23, so be sure to mark your calendars! Sweaters here and here.
Reading::
I’m starting The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins. Its supposed to be so good! Have you read it?
Eating::
This weekend, I’ll be making this Acapulco-style shrimp cocktail and this black bean soup, both by Rick Bayless. I am so excited to be attending a presentation by this award-winning chef, later this month!
Blogging::
Stripes and sequins and a sweet barbacoa pork salad with creamy tomatillo dressing.
Shopping::
Obsessed with Chloe-inspired and budget friendly handbags found here and here. I also have my eye on this cozy sweater, this navy fedora (gorgeous), this plaid scarf (under $15), these Prada inspired sunglasses (only $22) and this in lieu of a Halloween costume.
Have the best weekend!
