Getting ready for a Chicago Citybreak

I am looking very much forward to our upcoming travels! I still have about a week to figure out what-to-pack before going to Chicago, and was so lucky to score this almost perfect vintage Balenciaga bag on Ebay!

Hope it will arrive in time. It goes well with almost every item in my planned wardrobe, which I will update on later. We're staying at the James Hotel Chicago, which has got great reviews on Tripadvisor. 

I was quite lucky as on booking I got a free upgrade as well, sending a Twitter message to the James' team. How thoughtful is that ?
