You know what? Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world but these winters will have you seriously contemplating an impulsive life change at least once every year. I’m talking quitting your job, leaving your family, and moving in with your retired parents in Florida type of thoughts. So, when summer finally arrives and its right in your face “you gotta seize this moment, baby!” (source: Beyonce)
I’ve been busy enjoying this heat like the rest of ya’ll (*most of yall), trying my best to escape from social media (‘cept for Instagram of course). Did I see you at Pitchfork? Did we two step in the mud? Wasn’t it the best?! Have you #NailArtJunkies hit up #Homebodies at the MCA?! Astrowifey is on hand fashioning masterpieces for the tips. Get you some! What about Ravinia, your grandma’s favorite festival? Did your people break out the dinner table and candelabra for the lawn? I’m sayin though, is any of that really necessary? You probably don’t even do that in your backyard, do you? Then, why here?! I’m just sayin…
In the spirit of summer, Chicagoings.com is receiving a fresh breeze of change. Expect more fashion, events, and local inspiration. While we are still very dedicated to the indie businesses of Chicago, our exclusive interviews will reflect more the type of boutiques and shops that our readers patronize and frequent. Basically, this site is becoming more about you. Keep emailing your ideas and thoughts and we’ll keep enjoying this ride until it’s over.
Oh, and, as promised, stay tuned for exclusive giveaway information!
Love,
K.H.
