Bicycles

I sold my car when I moved to Chicago and now I rely mainly on public transportation and walking to get anywhere I need to go. My boyfriend talked me into buying a bike last summer, and it has really been one of the best investments I have made. You can get places so much faster AND you get exercise. Win-win.

Although my bike is just a cheap Target road bike, there are so many great bike shops and companies out there. A personal favorite of mine is PUBLIC, who make super hip, European-style city bikes in awesome colors.

Summer So Far

Not all of summer has been filled with work and moving; I have had some fun weekends leading up until now. Here are a few things I've been doing while away from Marylebone.

Cubs game

Coachella in Indio, California

Downtown Sound

Millenium Park

Wine tasting in New Buffalo, Michigan

 Camping & tubing in the Wisconsin Dells

Pride Parade

I vow to post the rest of my summer adventures on this blog.

Hiatus

I'm sorry, friends, for that unannounced hiatus that I took from Marylebone. One thing lead to another with moving, getting very busy at work and everything else, but I'm glad to say I'm back and committed to posting regularly. And what better time to come up with posts than in summertime in Chicago?!

PS - Please forgive me.  I love you all for reading my frivolous blog. xo.
