Takin' it to new heights!As the new year approaches are you ready to take it to new heights? I had the opportunity to collaborate with Chicago Helicopter Experience and let's just say my expectation was HIGHtened to a new level. The entire experience is so cool. The building is nestled in a remote area of Chicago and is like a small little oasis beyond the city. While you wait you can view some of the helicopters in the back soar into the sky. They also have bags that you can play to pass the time. You receive a little buzzer and when it's your time to board it will go off. Once you walk towards the take off location you will be prompted to watch an informative video. For all my fearful and strategic followers this one is for you. It calmed my husband's nerves a bit to see all the precautions that the pilot takes. Once the video is over we were so excited to board the helicopter. They take you out and luckily you have a wonderful videographer and photographer who can capture that special moment for you. You are able to purchase those images at the end of the tour. Image framing that lovely picture of you and your significant other, or family member, with a glorious helicopter in the background. The helicopter is even cooler in the inside. We were lucky to get front row access so we could sit right next to the pilot, whose name was Matt. All the seats in the helicopter are amazing allowing you to soak up all the stunning views that Chicago has to offer. You can talk to the pilot along with the people on board through your mic set. However, silence is what I experienced because it seemed like everyone wanted to revel in the stunning views. It was nice, however, to hear Matt our pilot, speak about some of the interesting facts as we flew over different landmarks. If you are wondering what you could see on the flight check out the destinations below copied from the website. Overall, it was such a beautiful experience and it will surely be one that my husband and I will remember. If you are looking for amazing new year's eve plans I think this would be the perfect one. Also, the beauty of this experience is that it isn't strictly for couples but can be for families, friends, and anyone you want to experience stunning views with.
Huge shout out to the lovely Akira for dressing me for this amazing shoot. If you are looking for the perfect New Years Eve outfit I recommend you to check out their website. I am linking the dress and shoes in case you want to purchase it. Happy Monday Love bugs, until next time! xoxox Rachel

I Wish to PartyMake a wish tonight, maybe miracle is bored. I had so much fun and was honored to be invited to the I Wish To Party event by Make a Wish Foundation. There is a special place in my heart for children and to be able to work with this company, who does so much for them, is truly an honor. I was elated to see such a great turn out of people who shared the same passion as me. This event was beautiful. The event took place at Revel Fulton Market which was the mix between metropolitan and chic elegance. There was not only a wide variety of drinks but also amazing snacks to chose from as well. Did I mention there was a live band? Who did great covers of music from the 2000s. I have to say there were quite a lot of people busting moves on the dance floor. However, after all the music, and the beautifully decorated venue, the main purpose was to raise money for children who need it. Anytime I can give back I try to because we do not realize how fortunate we are. This event surely was splendor and I implore you all to make sure you check out their website for more details if they decide to host one next year! Huge shout out to the lovely Chrissy who invited me, she was such a pleasure to work and collaborate with. You had me at Yellow.So we all know that I am a huge rom com nerd! One of my favorite movies growing up was, "How to Lost a Guy In Ten Days." Both Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are some of my favs. Therefore, I decided to use the timeless yellow dress as my choice of attire for this event. I was so excited when I found the identical dress on Poshmark. To be able to recreate this look was such an honor and I hope I did the lovely Kate Hudson proud.
Overall, this was such a beautiful event and I am so thrilled that I got to be apart of it. Thank you to everyone who donated last night and a special shout out to the beautiful children who benefit from this event. I hope you all have a lovely Monday Lovebugs! Until next time, xoxox Rachel "You got into law school?" |
