Summer Road Tripping: Chicago, Here We Come!

image

Chicago is a cool a city that is packed with some of the most iconic architecture and best art museums in the country.  It also provided the backdrop for films from the late, great John Hughes. (How can we forget the fun Ferris Bueller had when he took a day off?!) A visit to the Windy City would not be complete without paying homage to the architectural wonders by Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van de Rohe. Or perhaps music is more your thing—blues in small indie venue or even Lollapalooza in Grant Park in August.

Whatever your activity a pair of silver and blue Miu Miu pointed slingbacks will never let you down. We also love the idea of wearing the classic rock stud flats from Valentino and sculptural earrings from Monique Péan to tour the Art Institute of Chicago. After all, one should always dress up when visiting the masterpieces by Dali, Matisse, and Picasso! To travel in style, you won’t get any chicer than a Rimowa trunk. Constructed from aluminum and a favorite among the fashion pack, this luggage will protect all of your precious goods. All that’s left to do is to contemplate where you are going to dig into a deep-dish pizza!
