I survived my first St. Patty’s Day in Chicago!

It’s well known that the people of Chicago love St. Patrick’s Day. This was my first year to experience it– and it sure was an experience! I started off the day watching the dying of the river. It’s pretty nuts.

I’ll take you through the steps. First, use…

I’m pretty certain we’re sole mates.

Well! It’s Valentine’s Day, folks, whether you love it or hate it. I happen to love Valentine’s Day. To me, it feels like it’s just another excuse to be happy and colorful and excited. I got a bouquet from my very favorite valentines (my parents). The framed quote above is my gift for them. Don’t…

won’t you be my valentine?

I felt like having a little fun with pink and red in honor of Valentine’s day. The red Nike shirt seemed fitting, along with my American apparel skirt and petticoat, grey Hue tights, and my purple Steve Madden boots. I’ve been representing Chicago on my keychain lately. And this felt like as good a day as any…
