Lincoln Square, Chicago

Last weekend, the man and I spent some time in our soon to be neighborhood of Lincoln Square - we are moving in together on April 1st! We had a Christmas present for a knife skills class at The Chopping Block (highly recommend, by the way); however, even after our class, we stayed there for lunch and then went back the next day for dinner and a movie. I guess that's a good sign that we are going to be moving to the right area since we couldn't stay away. Plus, I can't wait to become a regular at an apothecary that's been open for 138 years!

Hunted

I finally pulled the trigger on some Hunters. And by I, I mean, my fiance. He bought them for me well before Christmas, and I've worn them often before they were photographed. I haven't needed to wear the Smart Wool socks with them yet, but I'm sure 2013 has some chilly days ahead...among many other amazing things, including our wedding! Happy New Year to you all!
