We both hated this photo but whatever. Sorry, mom!
The next on our list was a great Japanese spot by our house called Juno. It was hands down the best Japanese I have ever had. I don’t even know what these little spoonfuls of heaven were exactly but they were incredible.
Ramen doesn’t photograph good, but I promise you it tastes amazing.
For lunch we ate at Del Seoul and had Korean tacos and Kimchi fries.
And then of course there was the iconic burger from Au Cheval for dinner.
Not pictured: drinks at The Barrelhouse Flat- a bar that feels as if it’s straight out of Boardwalk Empire. Remember how I said I like old-timey bars? I wasn’t lying. There was also a stop at Girl & The Goat somewhere in there as well.
So if you’re coming to Chicago soon, hit up any one of those spots and you won’t be disappointed.
As for right now, I’m trying to figure out a way to get a human-sized cozy cave like the one Harlow has. I keep crawling in his, but he’s starting to get a little pissy with me.
And lastly, let’s focus on my new favorite vest of winter. (I told you this post was going to be all over the place.)
I got this vest last week while I was visiting my parents in Norfolk at a great boutique called Three Eighteen On The Avenue. I stop by every time I’m home and always find something.
And a close-up just to really see what we’re working with here.
Three Eighteen is being super gracious and offering one of you the chance to win a $40 gift card toward some holiday shopping. So take a gander and let me know what you think, I suggest starting with this holiday dress or this striped vest. Just enter below!
And Norfolk friends, stop by this store asap! You won’t be disappointed.
I could never pull off that holiday dress (the fact that I'm 9 months preggo not withstanding) but I do love that Winter Wonderland poncho!
I want your vest. In a non-creepy way.
This post just made me hungry! All of that looks and sounds delicious. I'm excited to say I added all those spots to my list for the next time I'm in Chicago in February!
I could really use one of those cute dresses for the Nutcracker this year!

I love "grey hair" bars sometimes as well. It's nice to feel classy once in awhile! And that burger looks amazinggg.
That sounds like a great visit with your mom. I really need some ramen in my life immediately.
Wow all that food looks so good! I love your vest!
The vest you're wearing? That, that and THAT. I can't find on the SITE?!
