personal triumphs & chic-ago summers.

Can we talk personal triumphs for a hot minute?!
Here’s a list of mine this week:
– Getting the VIP treatment at the Vevo Lift concert last night. I may have shed one tear as Sam Smith serenaded us from the front{ish} row. If he could sing my grocery list, I would be the happiest girl in the world <3
– Being adopted as Kit’s 25 year old wine drinking daughter. Considering I’ve been over for dinner 2X in the last 2 weeks, I’d say I’m officially part of the Graham/Brough fam-bam. And let me tell you, being adopted by a food blogger is the way to go! Mmm….
– Finally starting Friday Night Lights and becoming officially addicted {Accomplishment? Debatable. Excellent use of my time? Definitely!} I blame & thanks Laurie for that one. 
– Wearing PJs to work yesterday. 
Okay, the last one’s kinda a lie – but this mexi dress from kika feels like I’m wearing a straight up nightgown in the best way possible. It’s light, comfy, and made of eco-friendly cotton, so naturally {pun intended} I’m a big fan. Paired with some golden accents and metallic sandals – I’m ready for a hot summer day or taking a nap under my desk {kidding, kinda…} If you’re looking to mix up your wardrobe with some budget & eco-friendly finds, definitely check out kika {and tell them I sent you, yo!}
Any fun plans this weekend friends? I’m taking it easy tonight in an attempt to get some work done {oye!} and gearing up for a fun filled Saturday. I’m grabbing coffee with Soraya, grabbing brunch with my work crew & heading to a full day of Lollapalooza. Best of all Brian, my partner in crime, comes home from a 3 week stint in England, so I’m excited to finally see his face 🙂

    I'm SOOOOO jealous you saw Sam Smith up close and personal. I would have died. Sounds like you have a pretty great weekend ahead, enjoy it!! 🙂

    YESSS to FNL–just you wait, you are going to be obsessed and the biggest question in your life is whether you want to marry Matt Saracen or Tim Riggins more…

    Charmingly Styled indeed! I always wonder what shoes to pair with black that's not black.Silver, of course!

    As a fellow Chicago dweller (well, suburbs here technically, but I do work downtown!), I would love to nominate you for the Libester Award. I think most people in Chicago forget about style since we are all bundled up in giant coats for most of the year and you remind us that we can still be chic even if the whole city is literally frozen over.

    Love this outfit and love it even more that it's as comfortable as pjs. That's the way to go! Sounds like you've had a great week (and delicious since you've had Kit cooking for you:) Have a great weekend, pretty lady!

    I'm such a sucker for all black with pops of color! This outfit rocks on you!! Is Friday Night Lights really that good? I haven't watched it yet because I'm afraid to get sucked in lol. But maybe it's time to take the plunge…
