Bistro Marget

A few weekends ago, the JLC (Junior League Chicago) girls and I ventured into Old Town for a little lunch. Old Town is a small area, just north of the city. It is very cute and even a little quaint.
The entrance to Old Town:


For lunch we went to Bistro Margot. Bistro Margot is a little french/parisian eatery.
The outside sign:

The inside is very warm and cozy, decorated in red velvet, marble floors and lovely little pictures.
The inspiration for the sign and my favorite picture:

I had a traditional french lunch. A cup of French Onion Soup and then Kim and I shared a Croque Madame with Pommes Frites. T'was delish! It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon with the girls.

The Beast

Last night we had our JLC book club. We are all finishing our associate year and waiting to be voted in. During an event at the house, JC won this amazing bottle of wine. It was huge. So we named it The Beast. It was quite the undertaking to open. But, once it was opened, it was all down hill. We managed to kill the entire bottle over the course of the evening. While we discussed the book for a few minutes, we quickly shifted off topic and never seemed to return. Does anyone have a book club that actually discusses the book? Just curious. Here is a picture strapped for the drive in JC's car.

The Devil in the Junior League

Our JLC Book Club is reading The Devil in the Junior League for the month of July. I was on the authors' website and noticed that Universal Studios optioned this book for a movie and Jennifer Garner signed on to star and produce. How fun! I suggest all you Junior League ladies check out this fun book.
