TGIF Friends! What are you doing this weekend? I have that perfect balance of something planned and nothing at all, which I am really looking forward to. Tomorrow evening Sean and I are grabbing dinner with friends and my SIL and BIL (sister-in-law & brother-in-law). I cannot wait to see them. We are hitting up my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Chicago. The gnocchi are like soft pillows and I could bathe in the Bolognese for days. It’s THAT good.
Tonight we are popping by our friends (the G’s) to see them and their new baby. Speaking of The G’s – they gifted me this really cute Old Navy Fair-Isle Sweater (only $19!) as a Christmas gift. Isn’t it so cheery? I had actually pointed it out to Mrs. G after I saw it here and she surprised me with it this week. Thanks Steph!
Call me Captain Obvious but it’s so cold here in Chicago that it’s all we Chicagoan’s can talk about. This is my go to look when I brave Chiberia – a popular look for all Midwest ladies. Hunters, a layered sweater, jeans and a long puffy coat. Covering your tush is key. I always try to accessorize my face, as that’s the only thing that shows when bundled up. I wore my Kate Spade headband (old), a red lip, new Tom shades and my C.Wonder studs. Side Note: Did you know C.Wonder is going out of business?! Everything on their site is 50% off right now, so take advantage ladies.

What are your plans this weekend? And have you been sticking to your New Year Resolutions? I am taking a hiatus from booze for two weeks (only 5 more days!). So far I have been doing well but I think it is going to be really hard this weekend. But I am holding strong. Oh and don’t forget next Monday’s Work Smarter, Not Harder features Lindsay Humes, the CEO and founder of the graphic design company, White Oak Creative. Stay warm out there!
Looks great on you!!
Alright, I’m going home and wearing my sweater that is super similar to this! Love it!

I’m on a hiatus from booze, too! I was going to go the entire month, but then I found out a good friend is celebrating her birthday on the 18th. I figure a few weeks will still do my body good. We can do it! My friend sent me this article last night after I told her about my mission and it was a real eye opener – http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/why-you-should-quit-drinking-one-month
Enjoy the weekend girl 🙂
26 and Not Counting
Oh I love this article – thanks for sharing. I have also been ordering non-alcoholic beer when I go out. It definitely helps satisfy the craving.
You’re the cutest! Snapchat us pictures of that bolognese plz 🙂
Oh I will!
So I snapped a photo for you this weekend but could not find you on SnapChat! What is your name? P.S. The bolognese was soooooo good.
That sweater is so darn cute! I need to holler at Old Navy, because they have all the best things for the best price.
In other news, we have to have a celebratory drink when you’re doing with your drinking cleanse! But I’m proud and impressed with you – get it girl! xx
Thanks Maya! I officially have only one more day. Bottle of red wine to celebrate. SO excited.
