Chicago Gourmet is one of THE most fabulous events in the city. Our famous Millennium Park becomes the city’s food palate for some of the most renowned chefs! Thanks to Bon Appétit, the city celebrates food and wine from 200 of Chicago’s finest restaurants and chefs. One of the perks of being a Blue Cash Everyday Card holder is access to epic events like Chicago Gourmet – it’s one of the hottest tickets in town and I didn’t even need to flinch when they went on sale.

It’s no secret that I’m a workout junkie – I love working out, trying new things and looking good while doing so. Yoga and Spin are a consistent fall back for me – they are both really great workouts that give me instant satisfaction. While comfort is a given in my workout looks, I love challenging myself to pair pieces that are on trend with what we are seeing during the season (mesh, faux leather, colors, etc). Marshalls has always been my go-to for any transitional workout gear for Fall – they have the best selection of brands at an amazing price. It certainly makes my wallet a little happier being able to walk away with multiple looks for my workout week.

Friends – when did it turn September 7? I mean time really needs to just stop. My fear and anxiety of winter is getting worse with each day. AH!! Anyone want to migrate out west with me? Ok, I digress….Labor Day weekend was crazy pants! My best friend got married to her best friend in Segovia, Spain – I left Chicago Friday night and was back in Chicago on Sunday night? Crazy? Maybe. But, when you get older you value good friendships and will do the right things to be there for your friends! I’m so happy that I went – Ill share more of my travel pains on the next page! I was home in time for Labor Day so that I could sport this Multicolor Striped Off The Shoulder Blouse in the Chicago heat – it pairs perfectly with shorts and will look even better with some flares!
