Uptown Acorn Travels {NYC: The Waldorf Astoria}

J & I landed not so long ago after another terrific first weekend in December trip to New York City. There is really nothing like Christmas in New York. If you have not been, you must add New York City in December on your bucket list.

For the second year in a row, we stayed at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue and in walking distance to just about everything we wished to see and do.

The decorations are absolutely breathtaking. Wreaths of gold and silver orbs and live greens for days.

Inside, garlands, wreaths, and even a tree of gold gilded magnolia leaves set the elegant tone of Christmas at the Waldorf.

Waldorf Astoria, y'all!

On My Bucket List {Chicago}

J is working in Chicago this week, and I am so jealous. I have never been to Chicago and have wanted to go there ever since Oprah had her show there. I know her daily talk show is long gone, but I still long to experience the beauty of the city.

J has been sending and posting photos, and I am in LOVE. I want to dine at RL Grill so badly. You all know I adore Mr. Ralph Lauren.

What a beautiful city! Chicago sure looks like my kind of town.

And J knows I love Burberry!

I know I'll be going there in the near future, so I would love ideas on shops and restaurants and must-sees.

Chicago Bucket List, y'all!
