Jeremy and I took a little trip to Chicago last week to celebrate Valentine's and relax. It was SO good to take a short getaway. These past few months hace been the busiest, and it was amazing to take a few days together to enjoy another city! Here are some snapshots from our trip.
We tried Glazed & Infused Doughnuts. Their crème brûlée donut was one of the best that I ever had!
We tried a couple coffee shops on this trip, and Caffè Streets was our favorite. One of my instagram friends recommended that I try their Chider (chai + cider) so I did and it tasted just like Autumn. It's not Autumn, but it was really really cold so I was into it.
We found Buzz Killer Espresso by mistake. Loved it.
Molly's is one of our favorite cupcake shops in the whole world (and we really like cupcakes!) We always get the blueberry cheesecake one when we visit Chicago. :) It's kinda a tradition.
Not pictured: amazing black spagetti, a cinnamon and lime cocktail, tons of shopping (my guy likes shopping—YES!), sleeping in, long conversations and dinner with friends at Honey (best sweet potato fries of my life). It was a wonderful trip. Best of all, we came home feeling refreshed and inspired.
ps. Car was parked in that last photo. :D
Ah I miss living in America! And your blog is fab! xx

Haha you were right down the street from me! So many of my favorite spots. If you happened to see a blue haired girl inside the funky colorful barbershop a half block from that zebra mural, that was me. Say hi next time you're in town and I will totally give Jeremy a killer beard clean up!

I will have to try all of these lovely places! (I live in Chicago) Glazed and Infused is one of my favorite donut shops. Seriously. If it wasn't' one of the places you tried, The Wormhole is a really great coffee shop (In Wicker Park), and West Town is one of my favorite bakeries ever. Plus they have other food! The place is decorated with all sorts of sci-fi and literary paraphernalia.
