Let’s Get Cheeky!

We are giddy with the news that Families in the Loop has launched a collaboration with the smartest, coolest, and sexiest online lifestyle magazine for urban women, CheekyChicago! If you haven’t heard of Cheeky yet that means that you’ve either: 1) been stranded on a deserted island; OR, 2) had a baby sometime in the last few years! Whatever the reason, Cheeky is here to catapult the mamas among us right back into the very best of Chicago living, laughing, dining, shopping, sipping, and playing. Get ready for a wild ride, ladies, and don’t forget to invite the hubbies along every once in a while. They so deserve it!

Here are Cheeky’s late summer picks.

Eats: Frog N Snail

Craving a new and sexy restaurant to satisfy your taste buds? Then check out Cheeky’s review of the new Lakeview eatery, Frog N Snail. They’ve got the low-down on this bistro-by-night and crêperie-by-day hotspot, run by one of Chicago’s favorite Top Chef contestants, Dale Levitski.

Style: It’s a (Hair Fabulous) Wrap

Wondering what to do with your locks after a trip to the beach or on your way out to brunch with the family on a Sunday morning? Cheeky’s got the answer, with some sexy scarf ideas that’ll take your hair from tangled and “eek” to Windy City Chic in no time at all.

Music: Fiona Apple – All Grown Up

Who doesn’t have memories of getting lost in Fiona Apple’s passionate and intense lyrics that vividly depict her internal struggles and intimate awakenings? Now she’s back, with a new album whose title is extremely long and whose songs are reviewed here by Cheeky’s very own Amanda Troop.

The Arts: Octavarious Improv

Kudos to Cheeky for introducing us to the fastest growing independent comedy show in Chicago, Octavarius improv at The ComedySportz Theatre! Every Sunday night at 7:00 PM, a gaggle of super-talented local jokesters will have us laughing our tails off. We think you’ll agree, dear friends, that this is a fine and funny way to start the week. Click here to learn more.
