After the most frigid week of our lives last month (thank you, polar vortex) we spent a lazy Saturday warming up at the Garfield Park Conservatory. It's nice to know there's a place to escape to when we've had a little too much cold. We went with some friends and breathed in all the crisp air. It was the most refreshing and so good for this girl craving warmer weather...

It's been quite the week here in Chicago! I got two days off from the frigid temps and to be honest it was kind of nice getting to be snowed in and catch up on some things that needed to be done. I hope my fellow midwest friends are staying warm and bundled! Today, I'm excited to finally share one of the newest additions to our apartment: counter stools!...

Saturday morning we made a little outing to the darling flower shop around the corner from us. I always love any kind of blooms sitting pretty in the house and so we swept up the last few hydrangeas!...

I think there is something so timeless about a winter white look especially in the snow! It's classy + it's clean. I've never owned an actual parka until we moved to Chicago...

Friends! It’s been a minute since our last bloom + grow but I’m excited to be back to normal scheduling over here. Today I wanted to share a little more from our time back home over the break!...

Even though we are going back home for the holidays (yay!) I still wanted to add some Christmas spirit around our apartment. Since our table + chairs are still the only furniture we have right now I decided another pretty tablescape will do! You can see my Friendsgiving tablescape from last month here!...
