About the founder

Makenzey Mae

Hey! I’m Makenzey Mae, and welcome to my blog, The Weekend Editorialist!

I love to explore Chicago, document my travels, take photos, and curate my ever-evolving personal style.

My go to coffee order is an iced honey cinnamon latte with oat milk, and I love to go on walks with my daughter and husband.

If you appreciate realistic travel guides, enjoy trying new restaurants, and love photography, you’re in the right place.

Welcome to The Weekend Editorialist.
