Country Vs Town

By Kemmie Ryan

Country Vs Town

Mantra? Progress over perfection.

Best grooming tip? Wear what makes you feel comfortable.

Guilty pleasure? Chocolate every day.

Favorite foods? I could eat Mexican food every day.

Music you love? Country music.

Best advice ever given to you? Work hard and live with no regret.

Earliest memory? Family vacations in the back of the station wagon.

When you wake up, you? Jump on the Peloton.

Before bed, you? Take a steam shower and go over my to-do list.

What’s on your bookshelf? Candles, family pictures, and home decor.

You can’t live without? My family.

Your style is? Chic and comfy. I love a good pair of jeans paired with a cozy, stylish sweatshirt.

Can’t leave the house without? Lip gloss.

Driving music? Anything country.

Shop? Meredith Jaye, of course.

Best thing about country? The warm and welcoming community and of course, the boutiques.

The perfect day is? Shopping paired with great food, friends, and family.

WHEN IN THE COUNTRY

Your style is? Chic and comfy. I’m all about a good athleisure shoe and maxi dress.

Can’t leave the house without? The perfect bag.

Place to eat? Rosemary in the West Loop.

Best thing about town? Everything from the art and architecture to the history and shopping.
