Top 10. Weekend Edition.

Before I get going on the top 10, I want to announce the winner of my Kassapanola giveaway! Congrats to Nicole of Frankie Hearts Fashion!

10. I guest posted on Sarah's blog this week! I also went to a rooftop party with her on Sat, to the beach on Sun + then to her place Mon night. And she's staying with the pup this weekend while I am out of town. I love my blog friends turned IRL friends. Thanks again, Sarah!

9. Randolph Street Market with Lesley last Saturday! Entered one of my photos in a contest. Please  vote for my photo! Be kind + give me a 5? Thanks dolls!


8. First trip to the beach followed by a get together at Citizen on Sunday.

7. Celebrated 1 year in Chicago last Monday. Can not believe it's been a year. And there are times I still cannot believe I live in Chicago! There are mornings I wake up, look at the pup and wonder how I got here.

6. I now have 3 frames hanging in my entry. I have decided on ordering 3 prints from Janet Hill's shop on Etsy. My very white apartment is going to have a little color! Here are my 2 fave bike prints. Which one would you choose? Keep in mind that I'd love a frenchie + always talk about wanting a robin's egg blue bike BUT I love the other print, too. 2 bike prints = too much?


5. Amazing photo shoot with Alaina last week! Had lots of fun!

4. First bar method class with Lesley + our neighbor Melissa. I love my blog friends turned neighbor/friends! I still cannot believe that I happened to find Lesley's blog the day she posted about needing help finding a place in Chicago, we emailed + now live just one floor apart. She has been a great friend. Love having her in the building.

3. Went to West Elm with Lesley {again} + I bought these shelves which are being mounted above my desk.


2. I forced kindly asked the boyfriend to go to the derm and he had five moles shaved + tested. I also got my sis to go and she had 3 shaved. Since the one mole I had shaved needed to be removed I was a little nervous for both of them. But -- they are both perfect + do not need anything cut out!

Wish I had that kind of pull with all of my readers! Have you gone in to see your dermatologist this past year? Don't forget to sign the sun savvy pledge!

1. And in case you missed it, some of my fave blog girls + I came together to give you the ultimate guide to Chicago.

What are you all up to this weekend? I am spending a few days in LA. Another thank you to Sarah for helping with the pup!

Danielle, I love these top 10's! I hope you have a wonderful time in LA. Make sure you eat lots of yummy CA foods :) I thought my boyfriend was going to Boston so I got really excited to have some "me" time but he's staying. Looks like "me" time just became running errands. Oh and there is a cute street fair outside today, maybe I'll check that out!

Went ahead and voted for your photo of course. Love the new photos you have picked out for the entry way, I like the one with the dog in the basket best (and not because you seemed like you wanted us to pick that one). And lastly, shelves over the desk? What happened to the little spot in the kitchen is that going to be solely for the clock? Hope you are having fun in LA! :)

Voted for your photo, it's a great shot! I love how your Blog friends have become your in real life friends, that's very cool! I don't think two bike prints is too much - if you get a third one it'll look like a set ;) Have a great weekend!

i'm working on getting the beau to the derm to get checked out. his job requires him to be outdoors a lot of the time, so can't be too careful!

Sarah Jane said...

Stephanie said...
