ADDICTED Chicago

FALL In Love With Chicago

Chicago in the fall is one of my favorite seasons.

The colors, food, fashion, and entire mood of the city seem to take on a whole new light and recently, temperature.

From pop up dinners and cooking contests to exciting organizations that promote Chicago made products (check out SMALL Manufacturing Alliance & NorthernGRADE Men’s Market), this month is full of fabulous events that remind us why Chicago in the fall is unlike any other city.

Enjoy! xoxo ADDICTED Chicago
