Links I Love : Week 39

This weekend, I am spending time with my family in Ohio. I love the big city of Chicago but there is something about coming home that is always so comforting. My sister and I plan our visits together so I can see the kids. We love bringing them to some of our favorite childhood restaurants and places in the city. Where do you call home?

This blanket scarf is only $17.50! It is thick and will be warm enough for Chicago/Paris. It was originally $60 and I swear it is a typo. So snag it fast!!
