You definitely had to come in on the coldest weekend we’ve had in about a year, didn’t you? Hope you’re staying warm!!
LOVE Chiacgo.
And you are gorgeous!
I love this post! Makes me feel like I was there!!!
you went to the Purple Pig!!?? My jealousy is raging. Stay warm!!
I love Chicago this time of year, so pretty!
I think that first picture says it all. You look cold! haha
I visited Chicago for Christmas a couple of years ago. Despite the cold, I loved it! I found it to be so clean compared to other cities.
The coldest weekend in a year? C’mon that’s exaggerating a bit. Now, coldest weekend this season so far, YES! At least you were bundled up proper like! Looks like you guys had a blast!
I grew up in MN, then lived in Chicago, and my hubs is from Chicago and these Brrrrr! pictures are why we live in San Diego now. Stay warm…and it looks like you had a ball! Great city…but chillllly!
You are here?! Post more details about what you guys did, I should love to see where you went! Hope you are having fun
That meal at the Purple Pig looked amazing through instagram. I want those beets! Never been to Chicago, but I desperately want to go. It’s the one “big” city I’ve somehow not managed to travel to. Hope you get some good pizza!
So jealous.
I want to go to the Purple Pig now! I love your jacket as well-I have the same one:)
awww! I miss my city
love the glimpse through the iphone!
I love your jacket! Do you sometimes think about moving to a big city Jenna? Seems like you’d fit in.
oooh…I shiver just looking at these pictures. I’ve only been to Chicago once, in March, and it was coollldd…..I guess I’ve been in California too long. Even though I was born in New Jersey, I can’t take the cold weather. Looks like you are having a blast though!
It looks so cold!!! But also like some good eats!
Loving that ferris wheel photo—it’s gorgeous! Looks like you’re having a great time.
Have fun, be safe. I hate driving around Chicago! It’s terrifying.
Jenna! You are in Chi-town?! You need to go to Native Foods Cafe!! It is the best veg/vegan restart in the entire city! I will be at the Wicker Park location tonight. You should definitely stop by!
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
Looks like you’re having a great time!!
Oh my goodness!!!! You are making me SOOOO homesick. Have fun in Chi-town!
I love Chicage. Its such an amazing city. Every time I leave I want to go back right. I have yet to try an Italian Beef…next time!
The hood in your coat looks so snuggly!*
Love the photos, especially the first one! Your coat is so cute and cozy looking
You make my city look so fantastic!! Jealous that you went to the Purple Pig! I’ve always wanted to go there!!
Aww, cute pics! Looks like you guys are having a blast!
I want to go to Chicago…one day. Love your hood!
While you’re freezing your parts off in the Windy City, I’m home cozied up in my grampa’s old flannel shirt baking a batch of your Chewy Peppermint Mocha cookies. They are lookin’ DEEvine! I’ll share them at church tomorrow. Maybe. If they’re lucky. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
sounds yummy! cozy grandpa shirts and warm cookies go hand in hand
enjoy!
So jealous you went to the Purple Pig! I live in WI and always try to stop when I’m down there. Interested to hear what you thought and what else you had!
Love the Purple Pig! Did you try the pig’s feet?
Yay! You are in my hometown!! Welcome!!!!
Where did you find the adorable north face! The most I can find around here are the fleeces!
I found that jacket at the north face store—it’s the warmest thing I own!
Thanks! What’s the syle name? I’m goon to vale and need something stat! Thanks again!
Bbbrrrrr! Stay warm and come home to sunny California soon!
haven’t yet been to the purple pig. how was it?
Oh man, I’m jellin’. Never been to Chicago. Someday soon, though, I promise!
Love your pics of Chicago!
What a cold weekend to visit!
Majorly homesick right now. Chicago is especially beautiful around Christmas time!
Hey Jenna- unrelated to this post, but you said you use olay eye cream… Do you put your moisturizer on top of the eye cream or let the eye cream stand alone?
Oh! And have you found anything better than almay concealer? Thanks!
Love the photos!!! Some day I’m going there. Til then, this will do the trick
Ahh, Chicago, one of my favorite cities. My brother-in-law and his wife live in a high rise on the lake, just a short distance from the water tower, pictured.
I also must say… the first trip my now-husband and I took together back in January 2008 (when we’d been dating 3 weeks!) was to Chicago, from New England. And that weekend, it was the coldest it had been in 2 years. I think that cold really brought us together! We stayed in the hotel room a lot more….
OMG OMG you are in Chicago?!?!
cool!!!!! let me know if you want a tour guide haha
You look so cute in your fur!
Yay! I am so happy that you are in my town! And, the Purple Pig is amazing!! Stay warm!
Oh it looks cold! Stay warm. I love Chicago. Are you going to make it to Frontera Grill? Try hard; its delicious!
Cute pictures! You make the Midwest look fashionable. I’m from Milwaukee and lived in Chicago, so I appreciate the glimpse back home:)
I LOVE the Purple Pig! I was just in Chi-town earlier last week! I miss it already…
Have fun!!! I love the lights downtown right now and I hope you did too!
Yippee for the midwest! Awesome food. great people. BUT FREEZING COLD in the winter. Hope it’s fun!
Chicago is still a city that I need to check out – the food looks amazing, enjoy! I’m really looking forward to some extensive restaurant reviews.
Love your coat— I own it as well.
Seriously, the hood is so warm and toasty. Worth every penny.
The Purple Pig!!! Isn’t it wonderful? I did a review of it in October and then went and made their whipped feta with cucumbers that was featured in the Nov. Food & Wine. SO good!
ahhh! The PURPLE PIG! Be still my pig-loving heart.
Lovin’ on the Northface!
Great photos! Hope you had an awesome time in Chicago. You are brave venturing here this time of year.
The Purple Pig is one of my favorite places in Chicago! Excellent place.
Love the pictures! What camera app do you use?
Instagram!
Did you LOVE my city? And the food? Best time of year to come, too! Hope it was fab!
You look so great! Cool pics as per usual
O. M. G. I totally don’t want to seem like a creeper, considering this post is about 5 months old.. but The Purple Pig is my absolute FAVORITE restaurant of ALL time! and that beet and goat cheese salad with pistachios.. words simply cannot describe its cheesy goodness. TO DIE FOR. <3
Love the jacket! Love looking back at this post ( going to Chicago in a few weeks) is this jacket blue or black? Does it buckle around waist?
