Windy City Whirlwind

Chicago! The Windy City has a lot of great events blowing in around this month besides the usual tourist attractions: strolling down Michigan Avenue, bike-riding along the Lakeshore Drive, or going to the Chicago Institute of Art are always favorites for people visiting Chi-Town.

There are a lot of fun fall events to cozy up to this year. Oktoberfest celebrates the best beer in Chicago in a lovely beer garden setting. Oktoberfest at St. Alphonsus is well attended each year and loads of fun! Beer, pretzels, music and more. See their event lineup here.

Another great family event is the Halloween Farm! It’s outside the city, but it’s well worth the drive. Bengston’s Pumpkin Fest will be going on through October the 30th. Midnight Circus in the Parks is also a great time for all ages. They will be located at several locations, so check the local paper or their website here for more information.

Walkthroughs, local food, a petting zoo and more at the Halloween Farm

A fun event for us grown-ups is the Bloody Mary Festival! Bars and restaurants will be competing to win, with you as the sampler. Sounds like a blast!

On a healthier note, there is also the Apple Fest on Michigan Avenue. There you’ll find vendors selling candied apples, scarves, hats, and hot apple cider. Delicious!

Whether you’re wearing a lightweight leather jacket or a cashmere sweater in the Windy City, or you’re down in Southern Florida wearing those lightweight cottons, remember that it’s all about style!

Rocky Mountain High

Bonnie’s buzzing around the country this summer, and Bonnie Loves to Travel! I’ll be sharing with you all the wonderful spots in the United States and what to do when you get there.

This week it’s all about Rocky Mountain High, and Aspen, Colorado is the place to be! Aspen is home of the Food & Wine Festival, the Aspen Art Museum, International Music Festival, and the ballet.

On the Fourth of July, a parade runs down the old part of town down Main Street and fireworks are all over the Aspen mountains. Bike ride down to the Rio Grande Trail all the way down Valley to Basalt, and then cheat and take the bus back to town.

Make sure you stop at the Woody Creek Tavern, a must for everyone for a fabulous lunch and a way to recharge the battery.

Wood Creek Tavern – great place to grab a bite.

Hike around Maroon Bells. It’s amazing, the most breathtaking part of the Rockies. You can even take public transportation! They have buses that take you right to the trailhead, and you can take beautiful pictures. You can even take a gondola up Aspen Mountain for a view of the entire Aspen Valley, and the view of the Continental Divide.

People go to Aspen to ski in the winter, but the summers are gorgeous! The music festival brings loads of people from all over the United States and Europe.

Aspen Musical Festival – enjoy music and the outdoors at the same time!

On Sunday afternoons you can go and sit on a blanket and have a picnic and listen to the visiting orchestra for free. Also, there are wonderful exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum.

On July 22nd and 23rd, Aspen has a fabulous art festival for free, right in the center of town. There will be beautiful sculptures, photography, glass, painting, ceramics, jewelry, and fantastic food to boot.

Whether you’re in the cool Rocky Mountains and wearing those cashmere and suede jackets, or you’re in steamy Southern Florida wearing linens and lightweight cottons, all available at bonnieroseman.com, remember that it’s all about style!

The Aspen Collection: All items are available through Bonnie Roseman’s BLT. Email bonnie@bonnieroseman.com for details.

Jazzy June in Palm Beach

June is quite jazzy and steaming up this month, here in Palm Beach County!

Le Rendez-vous has live music on Sunday nights and Tuesday nights, and you never know who’s going to be jammin’ there! It’s at 221 Datura Street off of Olive in downtown West Palm Beach – a fantastic place with fashion videos and delicious small bites- it’s a great romantic spot.

Then there’s Banko Cantina – it’s a three story restored bank building on Olive just south of Clematis Street, right around the corner from Le Rendez-vous where you can see a fabulous live Motown group singin’ and swingin’. The Motown Sound is on Tuesday nights, but you can always call them for additional information at (561) 355 – 1399.

In North County up in Jupiter it is The Double Roads Tavern off of Indiantown Road on US-1. They’re always having celebrations and anniversaries of all types of jazz, rock n’ roll, and blues. I highly recommend it!

I know Tony Silver and his band will be jammin’ at Dorian’s on Saturday night this week on Clematis Street, another great place to get your toes tapping.

Let’s not forget, in the South part of the county in Boca Raton, it’s the Funky Biscuit! They have live music just about every night of the week. Monday night is blues night – can’t miss that!

On Thursday nights every week, at the Waterfront in West Palm Beach, it’s Clematis By Night. This Thursday night, June 1st, Summer in Paradise opens with a tribute band to Michael Jackson called Man in the Mirror. Great activity for the whole family.

Also, there are special activities on Thursday night at the Norton Art Museum for free! Art After Dark – check it out in your local listings. There’s a good chance you’ll hear some live music – always interesting.

Always an interesting collection to see at the Norton — It’s always very entertaining at the Norton on Thursday nights

A couple of my favorites, Michael Masci at the Pelican Cafe every Thursday night this summer – he’ll be singing the American Songbook.

And, Raquel Williams! Singing the beautiful ballads and swinging songs at the Polo Lounge at the Colony Hotel on Saturday night – not to be missed!

As the summer starts to sizzle, and June’s breezes are blowing with swingin’ jazz, remember, it’s all about dressing with style. Bring out those lightweight whites, brights, and pastels.

There’s a buzz in the art world this week: at the Gavlak Gallery in Palm Beach off Worth Avenue, it’s Maynard Monrow’s exhibition of “Under the Influence.” It’s all about his work that is done with words.

Whether you’re a snow bird or you’re here to stay for the summer in Florida, it’s time to pull out those whites, pastels and lightweight clothing.

Showing off some of my favorite whites from the latest BLT Collection. — I am wearing a crisp white light blouse, keeping cool for the coming summer months – all clothing is from the latest BLT Collection.
