One of the biggest privileges in being able to do what I do is getting the opportunity to meet my readers! That is really the main reason I enjoy hosting/participating in events so I wanted to share a couple of shopping soiree’s that I am lucky enough to be hosting over the next couple of weeks. First up, tomorrow I’ll be hosting a night of shopping at Del Frisco’s Steak House on Oak Street! A few of my local favorites {Dana Rebecca, T+J, Henry & Belle, and more!} will be setting up booths to help you with your holiday shopping for everyone on your list. They will also be offering a special discount on my personal favorites of the night! There will be festive holiday cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and make up/hair touchups by Blow by Blow salon. It will be fun! If you’re in Chicago I would love for you to join – just RSVP here if you plan on stopping by! The perfect mid week treat on your way home from work! (:

Next Wednesday I am co-hosting a holiday date night with my Chicago Loft Girls at the brand new LOFT store on Roosevelt and Wells! This event is fun because Dave will be co-hosting the event with me {and the rest of our group!}. Dave will be decked out in my local favorite mens store, Haberdash, while us girls will be dressed for the holidays in LOFT’s sparkly new collection. What’s even more fun? A trolley will be running from Michigan Avenue and Eerie {by Crate & Barrel} to the LOFT on Roosevelt all night so you can continue your holiday shopping along the Magnificent Mile, or just enjoy a quick trolley ride through our pretty city. The trolley will be running back and forth and I’ll be posting exact times on my facebook page. Please RSVP here if you plan on stopping by!

Both events are going to be a blast, and the perfect way to welcome this magical season. Hope to see you there!
