Happy Halloween! I’ll be the first to admit that it’s one of my least favorite holidays (except the candy part, that I can definitely get on board with) but I still am a bit bummed that we ended up with such an ugly day in Chicago for all the kiddos. I’m in a bit of denial that fall is almost over and we’ll soon be faced with frigid temps; let’s hope we’re able to get a few more glorious fall weather days out of the next few weeks.

Some highlights from October:

Partying with Chicago’s tech scene at the Harris Theater Rooftop with the Trunk Club crew

Weekend mornings accompanied with pumpkin scented candles

My first Divvy bike ride!

Previewing the new Danielle Nicole bags & meeting the designer herself (who is the sweetest)

Finishing my second Chicago Marathon with the NTC Crew ladies

Taking full advantage of the perfect fetch weather with my Callie girl

Getting back into the habit of cooking & starting with an amazing salad

Relaxing a bit post-marathon season with quiet weekend mornings at home

Celebrating the opening of The Frye Company’s Chicago store & the brand’s 150th anniversary

A trip to Jeni’s Ice Cream and a delicious combination of coffee, pumpkin & vanilla bean

A very patient little hipster pup

Testing out Maybelline’s new Color Elixir products
