I 💚 representing Chicago! I was so happy to be

I 💚 representing Chicago! I was so happy to be invited by @Enjoyillinois to ride on their double decker holiday themed bus at the Wintrust Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Parade yesterday. ✨ It was surreal as we drove by to see how many people come out for this fabulous event. More than one million lights were illuminated along Michigan Avenue and there’s a spectacular fireworks display at the end.

I’m so thankful for all of these unique experiences. 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔! #EnjoyIllinois
💚❤️💚❤️🌲💚❤️💚❤️

You know I’m a lover of unique experiences (especially when shopping 🛍️ is involved). This week I attended @Renhotels 10th annual 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆. It was also the launch of 𝐑 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬.

What is 𝐑 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 you ask?? 𝐑 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 is a global digital marketplace connecting travelers to local communities. At the event attendees were able to immerse themselves in local culture and uncover hidden gems through an exclusive curated experience.

𝐑 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞, 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝟎 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝟐𝟓 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. All carefully curated by Renaissance’s in-house experts, the navigators. I loved the earrings I got from @thelarimarshop. The earrings are handmade from a precious gem stone unique to the Dominican Republic.

I must be on the nice 😇 list this year… Santa

I must be on the nice 😇 list this year… Santa invited me on a staycation @Swissotelchi this past weekend. I stayed in the Elf Suite and was blown away by the spaciousness and decor. It definitely put me in the holiday spirit! The Christmas decorations were so elegant and OMG do you see these views! 👀 There’s even an incredible view in the bathroom. 😝 The king size bed was so comfy… I slept like a baby.

𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆𝒅… there’s other decorated suites to choose from. If you liked this suite you’ll definitely love the 2000 Square Foot Santa Suite. 𝑭𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏… 🌲🎅🏽 (Did I mention the Santa Suite has 17 full size Christmas trees 😍) Can’t wait to show it to you. Sneak peak in my stories.

The @Swissotelchi hotel bar “Amuse” is now “Après-Ski at Amuse: a snowy Veuve Clicquot Experience.” The space is transform into a chic après-aki experience reminiscent of a Swiss mountain escape.

Enjoy @veuveclicquot by the glass or bottle, along with a playful Clicquot x Smashburger pairing. There’s also a winter themed menu, including craft cocktails.

Amuse is a coffee bar/breakfast stop from 6:30am-11:30am and cocktail bar/dining destination from 11:30am-10pm. The lunch/dinnertime menu features a variety of beers and wines, as well as craft cocktails, such as Aperol Spritz, Manhattans, the El Panal (made with in-house honey from the hotel’s personal beehives) and more. The food menu has a variety of options from heavier dishes such as the iconic Smash Burger, to light choices like a Caesar Salad or Cheese Plate. The perfect way to begin and end the day. 🥰

NEW 🌮 Pop-up Alert! 🚨 Last night I went to preview the world’s first Michelin starred taqueria el @Califadeleon at @Tacombi in Wicker Park. It opens to the public TODAY (November 13th - 28th).

Open since 1968 and located in Mexico City, the family-owned El Califa de León is the only Michelin-starred taqueria in the world, receiving one star when the guide announced its inaugural Mexico rankings, serving just 4 menu items.

We got to 👅 taste ALL 4 award-winning tacos AND tried their two famous salsas.
🌮 The Bisteck
🌮 Costilla
🌮 Gaonera
🌮 Chuleta

𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑻𝑼𝑹𝑵! Today (Nov 13th) @Tacombi in Wicker Park will be offering ALL 4 taco’s. 5pm - 9pm (Walk in only)

November 14th - 28th both @Tacombi locations (Wicker Park and West Loop) will be offering 2 out of the 4 tacos.
