Summer Stripes (Plus, My Favorite Weekend!)

Boy oh boy — I’m draggin’ today. Sign of a good weekend, though, right? How was yours?

I spent most of the last few days (sweating) in an off-the-shoulder dress of the striped variety and a chic pair of cognac slides. My July uniform, no doubt.

From lingering over mimosas at brunch to over-indulging at a variety of food festivals (including one called Sausage Fest — no joke), there’s nothing quite like summertime Chi.

Without fail, there’s something to do every single day ’round here. Namely, though, Chicago is the capital of summer music festivals — and one of my most favorite weekends is just four short days away. LOLLAPALOOZA! I am so excited.

I’ll be sharing a shitload of Lolla-related content over the next few days — including my outfits/ensembles and my tips for throwing a killer (and super-simple) champagne pre-game party. So stay tuned (and feel free to leave any questions in the comments below.)

  1. Really excited for your Lolla content this week! I am going for the first time this year! My brother lives in Chicago so my other brother and I are going out to visit him and to do the festival together. I fly out Wednesday afternoon. I’ve been to other music festivals before but any Lolla specific tips would be much appreciated!

  2. Excited for the Lolla content! I’ve been about 6 times but won’t be able to go this year to moving apartments (stressful but worth it)… Will be living vicariously through your snapchats! Thankfully the weather won’t be as warm as usual so I’m sure that makes narrowing down an outfit so much more difficult!

  3. I bought those slides for the summer too - they are great and were super easy to break in (a must when buying shoes)! Loving this look and especially the beautiful backdrop.

What do you think?
