First, I called up my cousin who goes to school in the city and asked if she wanted to get lunch. She had a class break, so we got Ethiopian food and bananas foster at a different restaurant afterwards. If you haven't have Ethiopian food before, I highly recommend it (nuts, I should've taken a picture). It's very savory and comes on a plate on top of a pancake, and you eat it with your hands! Mmm. It's about dinner time now, and I want some. After I dropped her off, I drove around looking for a good location to take pictures. I'm working on my location spotting, and here's what I ended up with. I took these near the Nature Boardwalk off of Lake Shore Drive and Fullerton, right on the edge of Lincoln Park.
Cardigan: Anthropologie Sparrow Wind & Whirl Cardigan
Top: Zara TRL Top
Skirt: Anthropologie Tabitha Avant-Tweed Skirt
Tights: Anthropologie Eloise Tights
Boots: Anthropologie Miss Albright Pebbled and Prmped Boots

Necklace: Anthropologie Parakou Necklace
Scarf: "Borrowed" from Mom
Purse: Hobo International Touch Base
Thaat's right. I found another door to pose in front of. This one is green!
I would've taken better, closer pictures, but that white goose on the far left was scaring me. Not to mention, if I fell, it would be into a frozen river. Pfft, details.
I'm using a Canon Powershot on this vacation because the DSLR was just too big to bring with me. This probably explains some of the pictures' poor quality. BUT! I found a function that has a timer AND takes 5 shots in a row, so you can see the results of that in this post. I had so much fun (You can probably tell)! Still, I'm starting to realize that its kinda stressful taking pictures with a tripod by yourself. There were all these people running and kinda staring at me as they ran by. But such is the life of a blogger, no? I swung by a Caribou Coffee (<3!) to kill the rest of the time before I went to the airport. Oh Dark Chocolate Mint Condition, how I missed you. Amazing deliciousness.

Thanks H Rija! Twitter's a new thing for me, so I'll try to be interesting ;).
ReplyDeleteWow, that skirt goes SO well with those boots! I will definitely be swiping that combo---genius!
ReplyDeleteSteal away ;). It's crazy how the boots and skirt are very similar colors considering it's hard to pin down exactly what color the boots are...
