I Love My City - Chicago, IL

I'm embarking on a new series of posts here on Simply Irresistible. I've come across so many talented bloggers who live in cities across the U.S. and abroad. As a girl who loves to travel, I thought that this series would be a great way to learn a bit about some fabulous cities and some equally fabulous bloggers (and alleviate a bit of my wanderlust until I can travel to these places).
I'm starting in Chicago, IL, the place I currently call home. Rather than giving you my opinion of this lovely city, Liz from Sequins and Stripes is sharing her love for Chicago. Check back next Wednesday for the inside scoop on another city.



I had so much fun posting on Simply Irresistible today and bragging about our beautiful city. Don't forget to stop by Sequins and Stripes to find daily inspiration for a styled life. Thanks again, Lara!

  6. Such great picks! Chicago really is wonderful in the fall and I'm so glad I lived there for 6 years of my twenties! Now that I'm approaching 30 though, I'm glad to be settled in a house and away from the hustle and bustle :)
