80 Degrees. In Chicago. In March.

Last week, Mr. RH and I took a couple of days to escape daily life and drive up to Chicago.

I had spent the weeks before the trip thinking about jackets and layering and leggings... but in the end I really should have through about bikinis.

This weather is trippy.

Anyways, I booked a hotel on Hotwire, which, for those of you who don't know, gives you a neighborhood and a star level of a hotel and tells you the name of the hotel AFTER you book.  Right after I booked, I read the reviews of this hotel and it was Not Good.

To say I was nervous/upset was an understatement.

And then we checked into the hotel.  Umm, perfection!  I have no clue what the heck the reviews were whining about.  In fact, the hotel was pretty awesome.  And did I mention the sweet view?

 

Gorgeous view of Navy Pier at night... from our hotel window.

While in Chicago, all we did was wander around the city... slowly peeling the skin from my feet until I was walking on a giant blister.  You're welcome for that visual.

I also discovered my new favorite outfit.  Remember the maxi dress from my Target post??   I love it so much I wore it... twice.

I did have the red belt on but it ended up being so tight that I couldn't eat my junk food properly.  Priorities, people.

Speaking of junk food, I finally got to try out the breakfast place Yolk.  Every other weekend I've spent in town, the place is packed.  Thankfully, a Thursday morning was a perfect morning to try red velvet french toast. 

Did I mention that there is cream cheese FROSTING inside the french toast/cake?  Holy cow, no matter how much delicious food I eat today I will never, ever be satisfied.

WANT.

So, that's what I've been up to.  How's it going in your neck of the woods?
