I was down in Wicker Park for a while yesterday. My first stop was the Carhartt store for a bit of blog work, then I salivated over some sneakers at St. Alfred’s. I also got a few new things to read at Myopic Books. I’m really excited to read the book by Christy Brown. He was…
Read MoreChicago beach days
The weather in Chicago has been unbelievable the past few weeks. I think it’s breaking records for how warm it is for this time of year. To refuel my vitamin D, I’m out in the sun as much as I possibly can. Yesterday I was reading and writing at the Lake Michigan beach for a…

Today I wandered around Gold Coast in Chicago for a bit. I stopped in at The Goddess and Grocer, which is affiliated with Feast (a great restaurant with a few locations you have to try out). I picked up a latte and vegan Nutella. I didn’t even know they made that! It’s good- just not…
Read Moreblack and white and strange combinations
The outfit pictured above is an interesting concoction of sporty (with the Nike top) and a bit more refined (with the wide leg high rise paints from Anthropologie). I topped it off with an American Apparel bow, a necklace I found on a thrifting venture, and some Urban Outfitters wedges. Since I paired opposites in my outfit,…

We all have those great comfy Tee’s that we sleep in. Sometimes the prints on them are so great, I wish I could wear them out and not just when I’m lounging around- being lazy.
