don't you just love long weekends?! today is my 'monday' and it's a little tough to start the week again after a fun weekend::
-movie date: sideways (i really want to take a trip to cali vineyards now)
-jewelry that makes a statement. i LOVE my urban natures necklace ($23) and earrings ($19) the pieces have a vintage look and the company donates 10% of its profits to children in need
-a local festival and ice cream
-long bike rides
-sunday farmers market - fresh blueberries and lots of cheese samples
-my blate with {av} from {long distance loving}
-goat cheese marinara dip with pita chips
-mason jar mojitos at moonshine
-chatting and planning (look for a big announcement next week!)
-afternoon shopping in wicker park
-ahhmazing bbq at lillie q's
i hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
