In this summer's Seek Like a Local series, Britney Robbins (@bask_n_robbins) broke down her favorite Chicago dining destinations, artists, and black-founded and led community organizations (including her own) that you can support all year long:

"First and foremost, I lead the incredible work happening at The Gray Matter Experience where we’re working to equip Black students with entrepreneurial education and resources. Other orgs I would highly recommend supporting: Good Kids Maad City, The Greenwood Project, Ladies of Virtue, Equity & Transformation (E.A.T), and Chicago Freedom School. "

I spent a week in 🍑 Savannah 🍑 and was filled with rich food, culture, history, and few new memories.

So glad I got to spend a week exploring the city where I spent my undergraduate years.

Many things change (like a ton) but a few great things remained the same.

Have you been to Savannah before?

A couple weeks ago, I dropped that sad truth that you need to start shopping for winter. Now, I'm here to show you how to rock pattern on pattern, featuring leopard and camo.

You ready?

The key is rocking these patterns by pairing it with a solid color of your choice.

For more tips about how to wear these two patterns, take a look at https://thehauteseeker.com/fashion/how-to-wear-it/how-to-wear-leopard-camo/ (link in bio).

For me, the toughest things to give up during the summer (besides the weather) are the amazing clothes!

Luckily, some summer pieces can transition into the next season, which makes it that much easier to keep wearing the clothes you love that much longer.

Let me know in the comments how you make your fashion staples work for each season ✨

In this summer’s Seek Like a Local series, Andrew Zipparo (@redsandsfr) shared the best neighborhood shops in Chicago for "plant parenting" needs:

"Even though it’s so far away, I’m always at @gethsemanegardencenter for all my gardening and planting needs. Even when I just want something to do I’ll stop by to at least checkout flower bulbs and pottery. There are so many other plant shops popping up now, and places like @the_plantier, @plantsalonchicago and @chicago_plants are great for picking up a couple of rarer finds."

For what Andrew has to say about Catonese food and biking in our favorite city, visit https://thehauteseeker.com/seek-like-a-local/chicago-best-plant-shops-cantonese-food-biking-in-chicago-andrew-zipparo/ (link in bio).
