Chicago, Christmas Gifts, Tech, Travel & Boots
I hope you're having a great week! Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:
Photos I Took:Chicago 1 & Chicago 2
I was in Chicago with some other photographers Thursday - Monday last week, and I have to say, it's right next to New York in my favorite-cities-to-visit list, at least here in North America. For those interested, the other photographers from Quebec were @_pifou, @jeannemap, @karolanerondeau and @jfsavaria. You can also search Instagram for the hashtag #ChicagoHome for more great photos.
Product I'm Buying:Saltwreck Prints
I've written about this company before - their prints are one of my favourite gifts/home products. Their entire store is 20% off until November 26th. Enjoy getting your Christmas shopping done early!

Product I'm Using:Rhodes Dean Boot
A new in-house brand for Huckberry, I bought these boots for Montreal winters and to last a long time. They're high-quality leather from a factory in Portugal, built to be re-soled over and over, and look great. I wore them all week and then in Chicago, and they've been awesome, with very little break-in required.
Song I'm Listening To: California - Claire Ridgely
My friend Claire just released this track, and the music video to go with it, and was profiled on Billboard. She has an amazing voice - go check her out!
Have a great week!
