The Little Things {Chicago, IL}

It’s Friday, guys! Whew, what. a. week. No? After having a wonderful girls trip to Chicago over the holiday break (more on that next week), it was back to the grind on Tuesday. Starting the week a day down, I had to hit the ground running and haven’t looked up since. It was just one of those weeks! At any rate, this weekend (and the next) will be pretty low key for me, as I’ve got final projects and exams bearing down on me. On the bright side, I’m looking forward to hanging Christmas decorations in between study sessions and maybe watching a Christmas movie or two as well. What about you? Do you have any big plans for the weekend? I’d love to know! Here are a few of the little things that made me happy this week. Have a fantastic weekend!

— A bright and beautiful day for exploring the windy city. —

— My first deep dish pizza. And it was. So. Good. —

— Me + chocolate = my happy place. —

— The prettiest Christmas tree outside of Bloomingdale’s. —

— Ornate paper lanterns at the Christkindlmarket. —

— The sweetest cupcake facade. —
