Christmas is almost here! Does it surprise you that this is my version of decorating for the holidays? Handmade decorations are always the best, and even better when it appears that they don’t make sense.At this point, I’m certain that my neighbors think I’m a lunatic.

Read MoreI’m the type of person who is notoriously bad at remembering dates. Thank goodness for technology that does the remembering for me. Wordpress reminded me this morning that today marks the 3rd year of fortheloveofnike. One thousand and ninety five days ago, I started this blog for fun. After 422 posts and 7,016 of the…
Read MoreI recently received the best gift a gal could as for: a membership to the Chicago Art Institute. That means I can go there whenever I want! for free! and bring a friend. AHHHHHHHHHHH! Here are some photos from my latest art filled lunch break. It was fun to see some similarities between my sneakers…

(The trick is to pretend that you’re texting.) There was so much to see! It’s the largest US museum that’s dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhola–not…

Read More“Drink up me hearties, yo ho! We’re rascals, scoundrels villains, and knaves!” I just threw a pirate birthday party, complete with a giant treasure map, treasure chests, gummy bears, inflatable beards, and cupcake stands. (in lue of keg stands, of course) I wanted to dress accordingly, so I wore a blue dress from Target. Check out the wave-like pattern…
