i had an eye appointment in the city. yes, i still travel to the city for all sorts of things, like getting my eyes checked. i have been going to the same place for 11 years so i can’t give it up…at least not yet.

custom eyes just remodeled and it look amazing inside. i was so super bummed i left my phone in the car because olive looked so stinkin’ cute sitting in their windowsill reading a book. wah.

anyhoo, after my appointment, olive and i had the day free to do whatever and since we were in wrigleyville, i decided to just do a bit of walking and shopping around. we strolled down the street to the local starbucks and grabbed our usual. olive was being so stinkin’ cute. oh how i love her! it was super windy outside {of course, making it chillier than it really is!} but it didn’t bother olive one bit.

after our starbucks stint, i decided to hit a favorite shop of mine, anthropologie! i love this store, especially during the holidays. it stocks the most beautiful decorations, wrapping, and ornaments. i am always so giddy shopping around in there ’tis the season. plus, they sell my most favorite candle of allllllll time, the volcano scent. best. ever.

[‘scuse me!]

[love this one of us!]

after we hit anthro and a few other shops, i decided to call it a day there on southport ave. olive needed her nap soon and i don’t like her missing out on it! we had a lovely afternoon together. we giggled, shopped, hugged, kissed, and just loved one another. oh how i love this little girl so much. she’s my bestie and seriously the cutest little thing i ever did see. i cherish our beautiful days we spend together!
