With my Chicago trip coming up later this week, I’m back on the winter train! Lots of coats and sweaters coming your way, folks. I’m loving this camel wrap coat I found while perusing the web – super simple, chic and a classic you’ll wear for a long time. Since I’m going for a week and a half, I’m packing a lot of neutrals that I can style several different ways. I did this on my trip to London and Germany and it made getting dress a breeze! It also allowed me to save some room for souvenirs. Not sure I’ll be bringing back any souvenirs from Chicago, but you never know!

In case you’re curious below are some of the restaurants I made reservations for on this trip. In August I went to Duck Duck Goat, Little Goat Diner, Bad Hunter, Etta, Cabra, etc. Can’t wait to try some new spots this trip!

PS: In case you’re new here, I’ve been considering a move to Chicago! I’ll be touring a bunch of apartments on this trip as well, and will be sharing photos/videos of each on my InstaStories. Be sure to follow along on Instagram if you want to see where I’m looking!
