A few weeks ago, I let you all know that I had a few rad weekends in Chicago. I promised I would tell you more about my 24 hours with Mell as a tourist, and I think it’s time to actually do so. I already shared that I was in Chicago the weekend before, getting a tat and having a girl’s day, that I bought a Louis Vuitton, and that I am addicted to athleisure. Today, you can see what kind of fun Mell and I got up to on our touristy trip!

Our first stop was to Nordstrom, where I grabbed the most luxurious bag I’ve ever purchased. We shopped around to some other shops and went to Garrett’s for popcorn (duh.)

Mell and I had some delish Mexican food and margaritas, went back to the hotel, and then we went on a quest for some dessert. We surely found it, and for some reason, we didn’t take any photos. I will tell you it was a dessert feast though!

The next day, we made our way to Millennium Park, Mell got to see Cloud Gate AKA The Bean for the first time, and she also got to try my very favorite- Portillo’s! We had a super fun, much-needed girl’s weekend. We had never had one before! Can you imagine that? I fully believe that getting away with your best friend (even for just one night) is like medicine for your soul.

Speaking of best friend getaways, I will be posting about my trip to St. Louis with 2 of my other best gals soon!
