Chicago in iPhone Snapshots

Oh hi... I'm home!

Here are a few highlights from the weekend... 8 hours of driving means catching up on new reads, like Design*Sponge at Home. It also means stopping for coffee and brunch at Half & Half in St.Louis on the way! Renegade was amazing this year. We had so much fun meeting some of you, and taking photobooth pics too! TopShop & Free People inspired us a lot. Such amazing stores. We enjoyed a long relaxing day of shopping. Ben & Jerry's and blog time with my bestie was so much fun. Cupcakes for breakfast are ok every once in a blue moon. By the way, the peach cobbler cupcake at Mollie's in Chicago is worth writing home about..... sooooo good! And a little snapshot of St. Louis on our way home. We had so many great conversations. It's good to be home. My mind is rested, inspired and ready to start something new! ♥ elsie

I loved following your Renegade weekend on Instagram! I can't wait to do the same at all the craft shows I go to this year-it's so much easier to capture little snippets of the day with a fancy phone rather than drag out the big, bulky camera! Can't wait to see what your new inspiration brings! :)

I'm from Memphis and have driven that drive from Chicago. Gotta love leaving Chicago and seeing the sign, Memphis 533 miles. Love road trips and cupcakes for breakfast are always alright!
