Happy Friday and welcome back to another installment of my “What I’m Looking Forward To” series! Guys, it’s officially fall! I’m SO excited because, as most of you know, I’m not a huge fan of summer (it’s definitely be least favorite season #sorrynotsorry) and I’m glad that it’s finally over. It’s crazy because weather wise, this summer wasn’t to bad but for some odd reason mother nature chose this week (the first week of fall) to have a temper tantrum.

It’s literally been 90+ degrees for the past three days in Chicago and I don’t think I can take it anymore. Fingers crossed we see that amazing breezy fall weather soon! Regardless of the weather, I’m just so happy that fall is finally here. For me, fall means traveling, cozy sweaters, Halloween fun, fuzzy socks, gorgeous weather, delicious Thanksgiving food, hanging out with friends and everything in between!

Happy Monday and welcome back to another installment of my “What I’m Looking Forward To” series! I know I say this all the time (no really, I say this in EVERY post) but I absolutely LOVE this series and I can’t believe that this is already the 11th (say what?!) installment of it. It’s always so much fun coming up with little lists like this and it truly does help me get excited for the upcoming season. Although I’m not the biggest fan of summer (it’s actually my least favorite season. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and all but I’m not a fan of the heat and I’ve just always loved winter, spring and fall more), I’m actually really excited for summer to officially start tomorrow. Honestly, I feel like summer (well, summer weather) started early this year because these past two weeks in Chicago have been crazy hot (the other day it was 99 degrees, yes you read that right, 99 degrees!). Even though I’m sad that my birthday season has ended (spring babies FTW), I’m actually glad it’s summer now (well tomorrow) because I have so many fun things planned! For me, summer means traveling, BBQ’s, long nights, swimming, spending countless nights at the beach, picnics, S’mores, music festivals, hanging out with friends and family and everything in between! Here are a few of the things I’m looking forward to this summer (June 20 – September 22): Continue reading →
