Girl and the Goat Tonight
Because nothing says “Happy Holidays” like an order of oven roasted pig face.
My obsession with leather continues...
Happy Monday to me! Just received a gorgeous Diego Rocha leather cuff from a good friend in the industry. It’s leather…it’s reversible…and it just made my day. There is an adorable red clutch I’m eyeing on his website now. Down girl.
Dashboard Confessional = Flashback to good times
This weekend amidst all of the preparation for the holidays (last bit of Christmas shopping / wrapping gifts) and mentally preparing myself for our upcoming trip (scanning through guidebooks and maps / cramming to learn as much French as possible), I was surprised with a ticket to the Dashboard Confessional show on Saturday night at Lincoln Hall (thanks to this amazing guy!).

The idea is playing off of textures found in fashion, but the color scheme is navy...
Holiday Shopping
…is 90% done! How did I get so on top of things this year? I don’t have the answer to that question, but I’m going to be thanking myself the few days before Christmas when I’m usually running around like a mad woman scooping up random goodies for my loved ones.
Next up…the art of packing (aka “how to cram as much winter wear into one piece of luggage as...

Cold, Bitter Winter = Slow season for weddings in Chicago…..so I’m always hit with the realization each year that I need a fun hobby or activity to help pass the time and make me feel a bit more productive than just lying on my couch every weekend. An idea has been brewing for quite some time though and I think I’m finally ready to do something about it.
I’ve been...
Construction began on the Halsted Bridge last night (consequently closing down Halsted between Hooker & Division). And this just isn’t any construction job. They are beginning the 1 year restoration project for this particular bridge.
Great for the bridge….bad for my commute.
