Chi-Town, The Windy City, Second City, The City With Big Shoulders. Hog Butcher for the World. All these Nicknames belong to one fascinating city, Chicago!

Hello, Chicago!

I must say, I tend to be lousy and unfair to my followers of the Fashionistas lately. However, I have one of the greatest blogs that you will ever read! Just you wait and see! Guess what, lovies? I'm going to Chicago, baby!

This is my hometown. This is where I was born. This is where I grow up. This is where I will be for the Holidays!

This blog will consist of all the places that I plan to attend to, top places to see, shop, and explore, and of course, my budget of spendings :):)
No need to brag or anything. I have saved up quite fair amount of cash that belongs to my pile of things to bring to Chicago.

Why am I in Chicago for?: -Spending the holidays with relatives and family, relaxation, enjoying the big city life, re-visiting my hometown and of course, mainly for Shopping!
How do I have this much money to spend? : -Saved two full weeks of paychecks from my part-time job

And not at timmies lol for those who know

Anyways! Chicago is my favourite city to lounge, shop, eat&drink at cafe and of course, try deep-dish pizza from Chicago's authetic pizzaries. Oh, there are numerous places, shops, and cafes to visit at. 
Definetely, and I say definetely, I must go Starbucks in fact it's on every street corner you pass by.




Well, my family is originally from the Chicago Polonia South Side called Kenzie, or Pulaski area. This is the mainly the Polish suburbs of Chicago and every street corner you pass by, you are guaranteed to see a Polish store, church, bowling alley, restaurant, shops, banks, dentists, doctors and the continuous list will go on unless stopped. Lol. My grandfather and his girlfriend lives near Milwaukee and Ashland Avenues with Division Street which is also known as the Polish Downtown. You can scarely go a block without hearing someone talk in Polish. This is fairly suprising but this is where the largest Polish City outside of Poland lies suprisingly enough. 



Even said, I must go. I will write more blogs essentially when exams are done, over, and finito! I will be on my way for holidays to Chicago which I will experience my second life there. And, in addition, let you all know about my happenings and experiences over the Christmas holidays. Anyways, toodles and good luck to all who are in the middle of studying for exam week!

Ta ta and Much Love,
