Ryan and I had a blast Friday night at Saks Fifth Avenue celebrating my absolute favorite organization: Bright Pink. This is the 3rd VIPink I have attended and to see it get bigger and better every year is amazing. Lindsay and her team raised over $30k at this fashion show, cocktail soirée, all going to breast and ovarian cancer awareness and support programs for young women.

11pm on Thursday night after dinner with the girls sounded like the perfect time to carve a pumpkin. Luckily this freestyle face turned out (mostly) even.

City Winery’s Fall Crush lured my Mom and I out to the West Loop to try our hand at wine making. This winery/concert venue/restaurant blew our minds- the space was so gorgeous, yet comfortable, the food was incredible, the wine was on tap and they let us get out hands a little dirty picking out bad grapes and twigs on this handy little machine.

Pumpkin macarons from Eleaven. There are no words.

This week has been busy in the best possible way and I can’t help but feel like I was ready to hit the ground running on Monday because of how much I enjoyed the weekend.
