The Weekend Update



This past weekend was so relaxing and much needed after the past couple of weeks. With traveling for work and 2 really big events in two weeks and then a stressful week at work last week....I was due for some R&R. 

Friday was the start of the extra associate discount + One Day Sale at work so after work I went on a little shopping spree!!!! A few pairs of jeans, 2 handbags, and a new pair of boots later I am ready to start fall.  After shopping I went to Bucktown/Wicker Park to have drinks with a couple friends.  It was great to get to know each of them more that I already had.  We went to The Blueline Martini Bar.  I had the classic mojitto... delicious!  After drinks I met up with friends from my building at Ra, across the street, for late night sushi and conversation! 

Saturday was brought in with a morning workout session and a day full of errands.  One of the handbags I bought on Friday was damaged and needed to be returned.  It was so nice outside...I ended up walking into the loop to run my errands.  Stopped by Macy's and the new city Target!!!!  Saturday evening was a little more relaxed.  I went and saw, To Rome with Love, with Alec Baldwin and Ellen Page.  So good.  There is a cute little Independent film theater in Lincoln Park.  The movie was in half english and half italian.  I highly reccommend.  Very funny and such a cute story.
The new handbag! :) My first Big Girl Purse!


Today I awoke to the planes of the Chicago Air and Water Show! Feeling like I'm on a military base I am a bit stir crazy and about to go get a taste for the sunshine on a nice long bike ride along the lake! :)

Happy Weekend everyone!
Take care,
Love Blair
