Kate Stahl | November 7, 2011 10:00 amOne of the greatest parts of living in Chicago is getting out of Chicago, particularly to charming destinations like Harbor County and Lake Geneva, both of which are a mere 90 minutes away. And now, with the multimillion dollar renovation of the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, I have a new excuse to head to Wisconsin, and this Fall is the time to do it.
Formerly the Lake Geneva Playboy Club (yes, that Playboy), a home away from home for celebs like Sammy Davis Jr. and Cher in the 1960s, the 1,300-acre resort is now a perfect getaway for couples looking for romance, a girls' trip, or a family escape.Read More

Kate Stahl | November 29, 2010 8:01 amA few laughs are always necessary during the holiday season, and Chicago's legendary comedy house The Second City is the place to get them. Opening tomorrow, Second City's Dysfunctional Holiday Revue brings all the traditional hilariousness of the theater's comedy shows with a dash of Rudolph, Santa, and more. Two of the skits involve taking a clueless boyfriend to couples' therapy with Joseph and Mary (we've all been there, right?) and some really uneven gift exchanges.Read More

If the thought of battling the crowds on Black Friday brings out your inner Scrooge, then I recommend you head to Theater Wit's The Santaland Diaries, opening tomorrow, instead.Read More

Kate Stahl | November 3, 2010 8:38 pmPopSugar's FreshGuide recently cohosted a party at Juicy on Oak Street to celebrate the holiday collection of the label's latest endeavor, Bird, a high-end, super fashion-forward line of sophisticated separates and dresses. I'm loving every single piece – from the sequined sweater dresses (what could be better than a single piece that's both cozy and sexy?) to the totally chic jackets. Between the Bird collection and Erin Fetherston's new designs for the original label, Juicy is looking better than ever.Read More
