Happy summer Fridays! I can’t believe summer is starting to wind down already and summer Fridays are coming to an end. It’s like I blinked and she was gone. Or nearly gone. I will admit that I’m looking forward to turning off our AC units and letting in some fresh air. However, I am 1000% not ready for what the winter months will bring.
What have you got going on this weekend?
EATING & DRINKING
I’m utterly obsessed with my Chicken Enchiladas Verdes for obvious reasons. They’re easy, quick to whip up, and so-freakin-delicious.
Matt and I went golfing with my parents about a week ago and my stepmom, Lynn, told my dad to order Matt “one of those fancy beers” at the turn. Matt ended up with this delicious locally-brewed beer by Ravinia Brewing Company. OMG. It is delicious. We need to make a trip out to Logan Square or Highland Park for tacos and beer.
BAKING
I’ve been buying bananas like crazy lately. And we haven’t been eating them before they go bad so I obviously have to make banana bread. (Side note: has anyone else noticed the price of bananas has gone up like, 20 cents in the last 2 years? It’s the one item that I always knew the price of because it was the same since I started grocery shopping.)
PLANNING
My sister Megan’s bachelorette party is coming up in a couple weeks! A couple of her friends took the planning reigns since I didn’t have the time to plan this time around (after her first was cancelled due to COVID) and they’ve done such a good job. I’m currently on the hunt for 90s and space disco cowboy inspired looks.
After Megan’s bachelorette, literally the next day, Matt and I are heading off to Utah for a few days! We’re looking forward to some good ol’ fashioned nature at Zion National Park. If you’ve got any tips for us, lay ‘em on me in the comments.
WEARING
I bought an exercise dress from Amazon a couple months ago and only recently started wearing it. And now I won’t take it off! It’s so comfy and easy for post-shower chilling, running errands, or walking the dog. It has pockets in the built-in shorts, too, for keys, your phone, or golf/tennis balls! Speaking of exercise dresses, how cute is this Outdoor Voices Polo Dress?!?! Preppy dreams.
I’m also obsessed with my new all-white New Balance sneaks… so much so that I’m thinking of getting a second pair (in a different color-way, obviously)!
SHOPPING
How freakin’ cute is this powder blue rain jacket from Athleta?! It’s an absolute necessity. And whether you like it or not – masks are back! At least in Illinois. Huge fan of my Athleta gym masks – they don’t hold on to a ton of moisture and the straps are adjustable! I semi-successfully completed a Barry’s class in one the other day. (I say semi-successfully because holycrap it was hard.)
