Can you believe we are almost into August? This summer has been a complete blur so I thought I’d go back and share a few snaps of what we’ve been up to. Summer is SHORT in Chicago and with busy weekends away I’ve been trying to savor our weekdays in the city. Morning walks, coffee dates, lunch and dinner outdoors, grilling out, getting together with friends, and savoring the heat {although it’s a little unbearable with the extra 20 lbs sitting on my body}. Summer is the best! You can follow my daily adventures on instagram here!

The prettiest row of homes in our new neighborhood. I love all of the bright colors against the white!

Lots and lots of watermelon has been consumed this summer. Actually anything sweet throughout my entire pregnancy. I’m constantly craving fruit and ice cream.

Pretty flowers after a rainy summer night at the park and an easy outfit for Monday morning errands.
{wearing Equipment shirt, DL 1961 maternity denim, J.Crew sandals that are sold out but similar here and here, and my Mel Boteri fringe bag}

I’ve spent a few weekends at my lakehouse in Wisconsin, completely shut off from social media and letting my belly get some sun! Wearing this scallop Marysia bikini.

It’s really hard to beat summers in Chicago! This view of the Chicago river makes me so happy. I really want to be one of those kayakers. If you’re visiting Chicago this summer you have to do an architectural boat tour along the river – one of my favorite things to do to really see the city!

Don’t forget, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale ends on Sunday night! A ton of amazing fall items will go back to full price so take advantage now.

Coffee talk at one of my favorite spots in LP: Floriole with a side of the tiniest baby hat.

My first baby. I’m worried this guy is going to have some jealousy issues once our baby arrives. Any advice for the transition on your fur babies? We have been savoring summer mornings by walking to the beach almost daily. Webster LOVES to swim and I love waking up and witnessing this view of the city. Chicago’s lakeshore can’t be beat. You can usually see more on my snapchat: lizadamsss.

What have you been up to this summer?
