After three fun filled days in the Windy City and one rough morning flying home...We have returned from our little jaunt. We ate, we drank, we shopped, we saw beautiful art, we got massages, and we saw/met two famous people.
So what shall I discuss first?
How 'bout our shopping purchases?
Hunter got two pairs of shoes...bastard. I got one pair.
You would think they don't sell shoes in East Tennessee.
Mine:
 |
| My shoe fashionista hubs loved these...I did too. |
I also got a bracelet and a scarf. Hunter did not get any jewelry or neck wear.
Me:
 |
| The big fat one just didn't look right on my delicate wrists |
And:
 |
| Is it not perfect for me?! |
We saw some beautiful art at SOFA.
 |
| We purchased this lovely work by Preston Singletary |
We saw this guy...
And we met this guy...
We met for drinks and dinner at The Red Lion. We met the owner of this establishment who is highly likely related to Hunter. His very entertaining friend Dutch joined us also.
Five and a half hours later and with a slight hangover the following morning...
 |
| Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire)..looks just like himself. Image that. |
 |
| That would be GSL...he looks just like this. |

Who wants all the dirt?
Me me me *raising hands like a first grader* sounds a fab time and you were thoroughly spoiled madam!!!
ReplyDeletei have not had any luck these days with shopping. My shoes are coming tomorrow!
DeleteNice purchases!
ReplyDeleteThanks baby. You shall always be my first 😘
DeleteLove the purchases! Michael Shannon is not showing up for me but really I only wanted to see you with GSL anyway! I bet you had the best time with him!
ReplyDeleteMichael Shannon disappeared. I can not get over how thin and tall he is.
DeleteT, Enjoyed you and Hunter's delightful company immensely...only quibble is why couldn't you have snapped the selfie before I was pie-eyed drunk! Oh my goodness...just got a condolence call from Renee Zellweger wondering if that was really me.
ReplyDeleteLast time I try to go toe-to-toe with Hunter!
I shall respect your privacy but will give a few nuggets just to satisfy your fans.
DeleteMe I want all the dirt!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Sounds like you all got along famously. I'm looking forward to dinner with GSL at The Red Lion one day, and you got to meet Dutch? Bonus!
Okay I absolutely love your Hermes treats, good shopping Sweetheart, they are very you.
The Red Lion is actually a beautiful bar/ restaurant in a lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend especially with GSL as host. Dutch was fantastic...such character.
DeleteOh, your purchases are amazing - you have great taste!
ReplyDeleteI owe a lot to you...be patient, wait for what you love. I was not intending to get a scarf but it is perfect, perfect, perfect for me.
DeleteI love the Singletary piece. I think I was an art thief in a former life; there is a lot of envy here. Gorgeous Hermes picks too. What a fun trip. I only made it as far as ORD and am sad to have missed out on all the fun!
ReplyDeleteAm sorry you were just passing through the airport and we missed you. Hope your trip was just as fun.
DeleteFab shoes, fab bracelet, gorgeous scarf, beautiful art and you got to hang out with GSL! I so want the dirt!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect sojourn and I am very jealous! X
We did have a great time and made out very well with our purchases.
DeleteFantastic, beauty everywhere and a GSL sighting!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun. Given his fame, he was an excellent host.
Deleteput me firmly in the jealous category.I disappear for a while and everyone goes off together! Lunches in London! Drinks in Chicago! I hope you gave GSL a pinch from me. I want all the dirt.
ReplyDeleteYour treasures are lovely. Please show us the scarf in action. And where will you place in the sculpture?
I love having arty, jet-setting friends like you...
Were your ears burning? Have no idea where I will put the art...I needed a wall piece but fell in love with the whale. Yes, I shall demonstrate the scarf with both my cobalt coat and my green coat...I love it so.
DeleteBebe, your ears had to be burning!
DeleteBrilliant choices! I need to learn more about those shoes. Scarf is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI am awaiting the delivery of the shoes. They require a signature and of course Fed Ex is still not her...it's 2:00PM. They are worthy though.
DeleteYOU GOT TO MEET MY BLOG CRUSH GSL????!!!! Lucky you. It looks like a grand ol' time, and me me me, I want all the dirt!
ReplyDeleteMy dear AB, I subscribed to your blog and then you immediately went on long hiatus???
DeleteHow did I miss this amazing trip? Lucky you, meeting GSL. Serious envy here! Your shopping scores are pretty awesome too. You do live a fast and fabulous life. xo
