Last week I missed my connection flight from our site visit in Aspen and ended up stuck in Chicago. It ended up being a lovely little layover, even though I terribly missed my children!

Chicago building

This is amazing, that whole side of the building is just a mural painting!

Dinner at Trenchermen. It was beautiful and sooooo good!

Trenchermen menu

The wine list at Trenchermen are in beautiful handmade leather bound books. Want to do this for a wedding dinner!

Trenchermen Scallops

Had their Scallops, so yummy.

Trenchermen wine wall

Love this look- inspiration for a wine cellar or kitchen area for bottle storage. Would be lovely behind a bar at event too!

public lobby

Stayed at Public. This is the entryway which again has me inspired for some wedding decor. I love Ian Schrager hotels, he’s a genius!

public chair

Loved seeing this in my room… I have a chair in my New York office with a sheepskin draped over it, so made me feel a little at home.

View of Lake Michigan. Funny, it’s 90 degrees here in Charleston, yet this still looks almost wintery to me.

Brownstone 1

Was so surprised by the gorgeous Brownstones. Im so used to seeing them in New York, but they were equally lovely here.
