A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to visit Happy Acre Farm in Sunol, California. Sunol is a teeny tiny town with a population just under 1,000 people. Back in the early 1980s, Bosco Ramos, a black Labrador and Rottweiler mix, beat out two (human) candidates in the mayoral election. Bosco ended up serving…

Just before the holidays, Carhartt WIP and Nike came out with a beeeaaaauuutiful line of sneakers. (Yes, I’m very behind in posting.) As you probably guessed, it was a men’s line, but that would never deter me. I got a pair of the Air Force 1 07s. These little babes are covered in Dearborn Canvas,…

Last week I went to Seattle for a couple of days. What a great city! And what a great place for a night stroll, as long as you stay dry and warm. I wandered around Pike Place Market for a bit. Did you know it opened in 1907? That makes it one of the oldest…

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…
Read MoreSTARS AND STRIPES! What are you wearing to show your American pride today? I kicked it anti-colonial style and stitched this flag together for the back of one of my Carhartt vests. Very patriotic, I must say, paired with my Gap Cami Dress and my Liberty Sky Highs. (Also let it be known that I…
