BISHOP BOUTIQUE LOOKBOOK LAUNCH

As hinted at on my Instagram a few weeks back, I had the amazing opportunity be a part of Carlis's stellar creative team for the Bishop Boutique Spring Look Book.  My task was to design and style the set creating a girly, outdoor picnic setting that the girls could enjoy on what should have been a warm spring day.  Although the weather didn't quite cooperate, you can't tell because of the entire team pulled together to "make it work" and then some.  It also helps when you have completely chic and adorable pieces such as this Hyla DeWitt stunner Aly was wearing or this Milly clutch in coral, Julip Made's favorite color.  See more from the shoot below and a carefully crafted video capturing the day...

CHICAGO PART 2

Between the architecture, the beautiful views, and The Art Institute of Chicago my camera was going crazy.  Seriously though, if you are in Chicago, set aside an entire day for the Art Institute.  They are home to some of my absolute favorites like A Sunday on La Grande Jatte  by Feorge Seurat, American Gothic by Grant Wood,  works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.  See more from the trip here and where I found my wedding dress in Chicago here

CHICAGO PART 1

As I mentioned here,  I was lucky enough to be able to extend a work trip in Chicago with the Boy to become a mini-vacation.  It was a quick trip, but I had enough time to wander around the city as a tourist and snap a million pictures.  Inspired by Sophie, I tried to document as much as possible of our trip and share it with you here in picture format. What a lovely city it is.  I feel like if it weren't for the cold weather, we both decided that we'd live here in a heartbeat.  Looking forward to another trip back sometime soon to try to cross a few more must-eat restaurants off our list.
