Nikes in New York

I’m obviously obsessed with Nikes. Well you can go right ahead and add patterns to my list of obsessions.
The more patterns in an outfit, the better. Be it on your shirt, your socks, your shoes, heck– even your underwear!
This past weekend, I wandered around the beautifully hectic New York City and snapped tons of patterned photos.
So there you have it, patterns in the Big Apple and patterns on my big apple!
Scaffolding on The Plaza, Ninja Turtles, row after row of tulips, polka dots, and fish on a wall.
ohh baby, baby– it’s a patterned world!

I see London, I see France…I’m so excited about these sneaker wedges I might wet my pants.

fashion week sneakers

Ladies, ladies, Chicago ladies.
You have to get your bum down to the Nike store in Lincoln Park.
It’s time to see London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York City in sneaker form.
They were designed for the fashion capitals of the world just in time for fashion week.
Take a close look at each pair.
Paris is covered in a spring-ish tweed with a golden swoosh.
New York is a silver toned reptilian print with pony hair panels and patent leather.
London’s fabric is a very tactile green and red plaid. (I got a pair and I’m so excited to mix a million patterns with them!)
Milan is fashioned after classic luggage styles with crocodile leather.
Tokyo, my favorite, has a sci-fi flair to it with gorgeous holographic panels on nude colored canvas.
(I also got a pair of the Tokyo’s and I am SO stoked to put some great outfits together!!)
If you’re in the Chicago area, don’t miss out on your chance to grab a pair of these exclusive sky high sneaker wedges for yourself.

my, oh my, whatta stud

studded eggs and Nikes

STUDDEDeasterEGGS5

studded eggs and Nikes

My DIY project this week led to some outfit eggspiration.
Don’t you love the natural hue of organic eggs?
They have such lovely, peaceful colors.
How great is the dichotomy between those mellow pigments and the studs?
(okay…they’re just a buncha brads I punched very gently into a few hardboiled eggs)
See how to make your own eggspiration HERE.

what this outfit’s all about: skirt and belt from Anthropologie, sweater from Ann Taylor Loft,
jewelry from Ann Taylor, Sky High Nike Liberty wedges, and studded top by Vince Camuto

3 concerts, 2 nights, 1 pair of sneaks

Music and Nike!

I’m a firm believer that the sneaker wedge is the perfect concert-going shoe.
It’s comfortable and gives you a few inches of lift to see above the people standing in front of you.
All you short girls know what I’m talking about. and VIVA CHICAGO! a wonderland of concerts and live music!

chasing waterfalls (good thing I wore my sneakers)

waterfalls in Oregon and Nike

Oregon is beautiful and breathtaking.
During my trip to Portland, I made the short trip to Multnomah Falls.
Few things are as therapeutic as standing directly in front of a waterfall, soaking wet from waterfall juice.
My new Liberty of London Sky Highs fit right into the environment with all of the colors and grungy textures.
Gritty beauty is my favorite. Give me rocks and vibrant moss over brand new Prada purses and Kate Spade’s any day.

just keeping Portland weird

Nike and Portland

I’ve been in Portland for 9 days now, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that is this great city.
As you may well know, Nike headquarters is right outside of Portland in Beaverton.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pass to the employee store…and I went a little nuts.
I’ll be traveling home with 4 new pairs of sneaks and a few other goodies.
Portland is a stellar city. Go there if you get a chance.
Drink some great beer, eat some tasty food, and be sure to bring a good rain jacket.

all the sneaker ladies! now put your hands up!

Chicago sneakers for women

Hey there Chicago girls– it’s our lucky sneaker day!
NTC in Lincoln Park is now open! (That stands for Nike Training Club.)
It’s a giant Nike store for women that also offers classes and running clubs to the ladies in the neighborhood. How cool is that?!
If you’re free tonight, swing by from 6pm-8pm for a running group led by Nike trainer, Marie Purvis.
If not, check it out in the future. You’ll love it, I swear.
I stopped in yesterday and picked up this beautiful pair of Nike Skyhigh Dunks with the beautiful Liberty of London print.
Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

On the occasion of getting a new Nike dry fit sports bra, go paint some pottery!

Last night, Paige and I went to paint pottery at Glazed Expressions in Lincoln Park.
I painted a serving platter. (because I have absolutely no kitchen stuff– I’ve lived in my apartment for 2 years and I’ve never once turned on my stove)
The pattern I painted was a buncha sloppy concentric circles that looked like a cross section of a tree.
Then I added a neon yellow rim for a fun pop of color.

I got a new Nike dry fit sports bra yesterday that I paired with a Loft dress and my Nike blazers.
The current neon trend and I are friends. Pops of color make the world a better place!
