windy city.

saturday, me and my family did our annual shopping trip in chicago. the weather was gorgeous-not too cold- and i was able to stock up my winter wardrobe! i was especially delighted (read: completely dumbfounded out of my mind) to go to topshop- the second store opened in the states! although i dont have the finances to purchase everything i want...or much at all, i did walk away with an adorable pair of tights that i can wear to school and with other outfits, as well as a pretty bracelet. im excited for thanksgiving week to start! two (and a half) days of school, yummy baking and cooking, and...dont forget- shopping :)
(also: my friend maggie's birthday dinner was friday! her actual birthday is this wednesday so we celebrated with yummy italian food and a chick flick classic: mean girls!)

me and emily :)
