What I Wore #BlogHer13

You know how you have these big plans on wearing all this cute stuff when you head out of town?  Then you go out of town and you are running around like crazy and you don't wear half the stuff?  Yeah, that happened to me for BlogHer!   I packed the usual two outfits per day, one for day and one for night.  Well the nighttime outfits didn't happen because I was still running the streets from earlier that day!  I had good intentions!  Here are the few outfits that I did wear. 

Mani's with Momtrends at #BlogHer13

One thing is certain during BlogHer, there will be fabulous parties!  Nicole from Momtrends had me up early on Friday morning to attend her Momtrends Mani event at Blowtique in Chicago.

Weekend Chicago Style

I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day again to you ladies!  I hope you had a great one!

Just I suspected (and checking the weather) Chicago was pretty cool and rainy compared to Atlanta.  It was 80 when we left Atlanta and low 60s in Chicago!  Don't you hate packing for a whole other season?

For the cool weather Peyton is wearing a cardigan by Imoga from Gilt Groupe, tank from H & M.  Levi Bootcut jeans from Marshall.  Leopard mary janes from Target.

While in Chicago, my BBF and I took our girls to get there toes done.  Peyton surprised me and did really well and sat there like a big girl!  Yes that is an blue extension in her hair.  It came with her happy meal.



I can't wait to take Peyton in the future to get her nails done.  Now maybe I can enjoy a pedicure instead of rushing.  Do you take the kids to the nail shop?

Shopping on the Magnificent Mile!

So we were in Chicago this past weekend (my hometown) and finished the weekend staying at the James Hotel on the Magnificent Mile downtown.  This hotel was very chic!  I felt like a rock star!

I love this style of bathroom, especially the sink.  Guess who else liked it too?

She decided she wanted to try and walk under it.  Very dangerous!  So I won't have a sink like that for a while.

The next morning Peyton and I got ready to hit the Magnificent Mile!

Peyton sported a Burberry shirt, $20 on sale at Neimans, and Red Tab Levi jeans that Mister bought. I know, Peyton is crawling on a hotel floor.  Trust me I made sure they vacumed and kept washing her up.  What else can you do with a mobile baby???

Peyton enjoyed watching all the people walking by.

Then we went to lunch at Eleaven on Ontario with my girlfriend Rae from college.

I am sad to say we didn't really find too much.  Nothing for Peyton!  Can you believe that?  I scored at the XXI store on Michigan, its the biggest Forever 21 store I have seen.  I did get a small bag, I will tell you more about that later : )

Normally Chicago has great shopping.  I recomend going in the summer during the Taste of Chicago!  Thats when Neimans and Saks have the best sales.  If you live or have visted Chicago, what are some of your favorite things to do?
