Chicago Staycation - Part 1

Just recently my friend Jacqueline came over so we could experience Chicago through a vacationer. She had an agenda, list of eateries and a walking path to cover. The woman was on a mission. Jackie lives in Wadsworth, IL and though its a respectable driving distance away the best way to describe this faux Chicago suburb is that it is a stone's throw from Wisconsin. So on our first day through the streets of Chicago we were relentless. We hit up the very best Michigan Avenue had to offer with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Neiman Marcus, Saks, etc. And like any other respectable shopper we ended up in Forever 21. After scoping out the realm of possible frivolous purchases and scarfing down some delicious benets, we took our bright yellow bags home and bought our "splurges" online (eight stores notwithstanding). Jackie professed her love for Louboutins in these fantastic peep toes:

And I went wang-wang crazy for these Alexander Wang nude choked pumps

I think Jackie said it best when she said - "This staycation is costing more than our last vacation!"
