Heart Sweater

The weather in Chicago has gotten so cold! It was 80 and humid the other day now it feels like it's -40. The weather makes me want to bring out my winter clothes again. During cold spring days my go-to outfit is my heart sweater that I got from good ole tarjay and a pair of black jeans. It goes with everything and is super adorable. 


I couldn't find the black sweater on target's website but I did find a similar one--and it's super cheap! 

*Sorry I didn't take my photos in a better location but it is currently raining right now, bummer* 

Rain, rain, go away!

I absolutely love, love H&M. Their stuff is just so darn cute! When I went shopping about a month ago I came across these barely blue almost white looking jeans. I knew I just had to have them! They're the perfect spring/summer jean. Run to your local H&M, you won't regret it!

Madison photo diary

A few weekends ago Brian and I went to Madison because he had some time off from work - which rarely happens. We decided to meet up with one of his high school friends and go to our favorite steakhouse The Tornado Room. I always have a great time in Madison and can't wait to go back!  

Side note: Brian and I actually met in Madison back in 2006. He was in school at UW Madison and I had just graduated high school and needed a change of scenery. While working in retail I met this guy who was in the fraternity Chi Phi and said that the were having an "around the world" party - where each room was a different country and served that countries beverage of choice. So I decided to go since I was fairly new and wanted to get to know some people. 

Brian was the first person I was introduced to but we didn't really hit it off right away. It took him 2 weeks to be exact to ask me out. On our first date we ended up going to this bar called the plaza to get a pitcher of beer. The plaza isn't the coolest, most luxurious bar, but we really got to know each other and had a lot of fun. Well the rest is history.

Seven years later here we are, the strongest we've ever been. I couldn't imagine life without him.

Love Amy's!
