I was away for the weekend finally getting away from the stresses of school-life and jumping into the tropical weather with my bae. It was a fantastic weekend, I never wanted it to end.

Just putting up snippets of Chicago. Me and my sister were down for a day shopping in the Magnificent Mile. Fantastic place. I know Chicago Fashion week is going on at the moment however we could not stay for the duration of it. I'm so jealous if you can go all this week! But anyway I hope you enjoyed the haul and pictures :D

The Radioactive Charcoal from Chicago

 
   

Green-Yellow Jelly Tote (Target online for $12.00 bought on sale for $4.50)

 

Wearing: La Muerte Muscle tee (Urban Outfitters), High Waisted Jeans (TopShop), Kingdom Hearts Necklace (same one on Amazon.com), Silver circle Necklace and Fedora (Forever 21), Everything else is Vintage I thrifted.

The "Instant pixie" hairdo. If you ever get lazy and need to get up and go, this hairstyle is for you. I learned it from a Japanese magazine a few years back and I wear it every time I can't get my hair to work. All you do is wrap your hair in a bun and cap it off so it doesn't move. Really easy peasy. 

Anyhow, I went to Chicago last weekend, and I got these charcoal pants on sale at TopShop for under $20 thanks to a student discount they happened to have that day! It was AWESOME. I love TopShop's stuff. They are a nice charcoal color and with a classic "mom" jean fit. I have several Thrifted Levi's that are similar but nothing compares to TopShop quality. So soft and comfy. And I can't say no to the price. 

But other than the shopping, Chicago was a blast! Me and the Boy-boy went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Beach. We got lost heading back to the car from the Magnificent Mile though. Took the subway 3 stations too far!!! Ooops. But we managed. Here's a few photos I managed to take before the battery died:

And with this goofy face, I wish you all a goodnight. :3

Frum your Friendly Dippster xx
