Weekend in Chicago

March 9, 2018 by Miss Madeline Rose

My first time to the Windy City and it did not disappoint! Chas and I went to visit his brother, Luke and wife, Ruthie. We had so much fun taking selfies at the Bean, eating Lou Malnati’s deep dish pizza, walking down Michigan Avenue and staying up late playing multiple rounds of Spades.

Lincoln Park is full of the most charming historic homes. This one on the right kind of reminded me of The Parent Trap.

If you’re in the Chicago and want a gorgeous (+ free) view of the city I would highly recommend making a stop by the Signature Room at the 95th. Luke told us that he had heard that the ladies restroom has the best views on the 96th floor. He was right! From the beautiful turquoise lake the Navy Pier sits on, to the stunning skyline, it was breathtaking!

Ruthie took me to one of the largest Anthropologie’s I’ve ever been in downtown. This tile was definitely giving me inspiration. My pink booties are actually rain boots – with the sweetest bows on the back – and were so comfortable and perfect for a long day of walking (just make sure you wear ankle socks!) They come in lots of colors and run a little large, I’m usually a 7.5 and got a 7.

You might have seen on my Insta Stories but this was probably one of the coolest parts of the trip (wink). I mentioned to Ruthie that Giuliana + Bill Rancic had a home in Chicago and we set off to find it! (Mind you it’s currently for sale for 6.8 million, anyone wanna go in together?!) Ruthie and I sat outside of it for a solid 15 minutes. Unfortunately Giuliana was at the Oscars last weekend, but it was still fun to see!
