Links I Love : Week 26
Yesterday, I celebrated the blog’s two year anniversary. I can’t believe it has been two years. It seemed like one big crazy idea that actually came to life bigger and better than I imagined. You can read all about it here. I spent the evening celebrating in Chicago with friends that I have met through the instagram/blogging world.
I was the guest of honor last night at Cité for dinner with Chef Oscar. It was so much fun to celebrate overlooking the city of Chicago and we even got the best view in the city for fireworks. I am so grateful for such a wonderful opportunity and we had a delicious meal. I am still dreaming about the lobster risotto. I ended up wearing this navy dress which was perfect for the chilly evening.

I was inspired by my friend Rhita in Paris for a pair of these cute espadrilles. I found a pair that I loved and they are under $100. I will be in them all Summer long. I pulled them out of the box and took them out on the town right away.
For the Fourth of July, I did a fun survey on Instagram about which red lipstick I should wear. While a lot of people said this red, some people wrote in telling me their favorite red was one I wore back in Paris in April. It may be my favorite red and one I need to wear more often. How do you feel about color on your lips?
