This year I will be celebrating the 4th of July up in Chicago with my college bestie Christina. We will be celebrating on the water during the day and out in the city at night, so I wanted a look that would easily transition. I love this dress from Belk's Crown & Ivy line because it is both stylish and comfortable! I have never been in Chicago during the summer before, so my to do list is about a mile long! I'd love to hear suggestions from you guys for fun things to do in the Windy City :)  You can keep up with all of my adventures by following my on instagram @SideSmileStyle with #SideSmileTravels!

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

ZARA little black drop waist dress (similar) | ZARA two piece flats (similar) | KAREN WALKER super duper sunglasses | VITA FEDE bracelets | YSL glossy lip stain #17 

I wore this little black dress for a trip to the London Natural History Museum.  The architecture alone of this museum made it well worth the short walk from our South Kensington flat. After we had our fill of dinosaur bones and the Darwin exhibit, we headed over to Byron Hamburgers for a quick bite & some pints. I highly recommend ordering The Ronaldo (in honor of the world cup) and a Byron Pale Ale.
