Cheese is as addicting as crack.
Fellow WordPress-ers! Did you know you should back up your site? Mine was hacked and shut down earlier this year, so take my friend Caitlin’s advice so you don’t end up like me.
Instagram has announced #boomerang, so you can create gif-like sequences on the app.
New emojis! My personal favorite is the middle finger (duh), followed closely by the bubbly.
Kate Spade has introduced a new home collection! So pretty, but probably a little too expensive for my wine-spilling habit.
The Detroit Free Press put together a list of 50 must-accomplish Michigan bucket list items. I lived in Michigan for the first quarter-century of my life and did not do a single thing on this list. Have you done any of them?
Loved this Back to the Future homage from the Michigan State Police.
This guy surprised his girlfriend with two corgis, and it’s absolutely adorable and I cried.

And my week highlights?
- The Fashion Loves Art show in West Town! My coworker Kasondra bought the two of us VIP tickets for my birthday last week, so we got to watch local designers showcase their collections from the front row. The designs were so cool! The open bar was also a nice touch.
- Drinks, fishbowls and dancing at Crocodile in Wicker Park.
- Some new outerwear deliveries! I got this parka in black as a birthday gift from my dad, and this jacket in sage as a birthday gift from myself. Come at me, Chiberian weather. I’m ready.
- Brunch at Big Jones in Andersonville.
- Drinks at Grandbar in West Town.
- Lunch in Pioneer Court outside of the Tribune Tower. I’m going to miss spending lunch break outside on Michigan Ave.

I’m really looking forward to a few things this week. Halloween is coming up (crazy, right?) and I’m planning on attending a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show with a few of my coworkers. It should be fun!
What are your Halloween plans? Let me know in the comments!

The new emojis are super exciting! I actually haven’t downloaded the most recent update, but it is something I plan to do soon. That parka looks super warm! I am definitely not ready for the winter weather, and I can’t imagine how much colder it is in Chicago. I’m sure you’re more used to the cold than I am though, being from Michigan! Looks like you had a fun week!
