Happy Friday lovelies!  We finally made it back from Puerto Rico Wednesday morning after our flight was cancelled on Tuesday after being delayed for 4 hours, thanks to the storms on the East coast.  Thankfully the trip itself was great, and we got plenty of beach time with the little Man.  Can't wait to recap that trip for you, in the meantime have a great weekend!

{5} Get excited, Soho House Chicago opens in the West Loop in August.  Yes this is the same Soho House where Samantha (SATC) finds a members card in the washroom and uses it to party at the pool before getting caught.  You can apply for membership online which gets you exclusive access to private screening rooms, a restaurant, and a rooftop pool.  If you don't want to splurge on a membership the hotel, Cowshed spa, and 2 restaurants will be open to the public.

Happy Friday!  Friday sure took it's time this week, and I've only been back for 4 days.  Coming home from 90 degree weather to Chiberia pretty much sucks.  And we're supposed to get another round of snow tonight/tomorrow and again on Tuesday.  Come on mother nature, cut us some slack.  The only way to redeem yourself is to make sure that the entire summer is in the 80s.  Hope you lovelies stay warm this weekend!
