Chi Town...Day #1

Friday, January 22, 2016




Oh Chicago! Chicago!
It wasn't the first time I've been in Chicago. I went twice in 2011- one for a marathon with Nike and then for a hispanic conference called Latism. Check out those posts, I look like a baby (and let's not even talk about what I was wearing). However, this time I went with Gabe and we love exploring the city.

We really loved it, it looked so beautiful with snow everywhere...and the lake was frozen!

We got there on Monday, we checked in, showered, and headed straight to have lunch. A couple of people recommended Giordanos where they are known for their Chicago-style pizzas. Honestly it was a good and bad decision. It was delicious but it was so big!! We didn't expect it! After that we headed to the Skydeck to see the city from the #103. I was going to add those pics on this post but they need their own posts (so stay tuned for that tomorrow).

About what I'm wearing, I realized I don't really own a lot of winter clothes (hey, I live in Miami, why would I). Everything I took to this 4 day trip was the same I wore in NYFW last year. The coat is from Desigual but it is obviously sold out (I linked to similar options below). I also realized that even though I love small bags, they are not for the winter. So this Coach swagger bag was perfect for this trip, that way I can add the gloves and everything inside (tell me I'm not the only one who does this!).

Have amazing weekend!



¡Chicago! ¡Chicago!!
Hace un par de año estuve en Chicago dos veces - una en octubre y otra en noviembre, y yo pensé que ese momento hacía frío...¡como me equivoqué! Pero es bueno cambiar de ambiente...pudimos disfrutar de la ciudad toda nevada y de usar 10 capas a la vez para poder explorar la ciudad.

Llegamos al mediodía el martes, hicimos check in, nos bañamos y fuimos directo a Giordanos- un sitio donde venden las pizzas estilo Chicago. Teníamos mucha hambre y pedimos una ensalada y una pizza mitad y mitad...fue una mala- pero buena decisión. Estaba riquísima pero comimos tanto ( ¡y eso que no nos comimos ni la mitad!!). De ahí seguimos para el Skydeck, donde puedes ver la ciudad desde el piso #103...pero eso viene en otro post porque tomamos unas fotos super cheveres (estén pendientes de eso mañana).

Sobre lo que estoy usando, me di cuenta que no tengo mucha ropa de invierno (obviamente por vivir en Miami). Me di cuenta que lo que me llevé a Chicago fue exactamente lo mismo que me llevé a Nueva York en febrero del año pasado. El abrigo es de Desigual, ya no lo venden pero les puse abajo varias opciones B&W similares. El climas fríos prefiero usar carteras grandes, como esta Coach, porque así puedo lanzar más cosas....en el frío siento que uno necesita más en la cartera (¿ soy la única?).

¡Les deseo un feliz fin de semana!!
