museum garb & an 80’s art show
The MCA in Chicago is currently showing a collection of work from 1979-1992 entitled, This Will Have Been: Art, Love, & Politics in the 1980s. Yesterday I went to check it out– and I figured I’d dress festively for the occasion. I’m wearing a skirt, tights, and mismatched earrings from Target, jean vest from Forever,…
Read MoreChicago fog
There has been a fog laying so beautifully over the city the last two days. It’s so lovely that I had to go out and take pictures of it. I’m not sure why, but there is so something so peaceful about fog– especially when it quietly eats up the tops of skyscrapers. I wore my…

I was down in Wicker Park for a while yesterday. My first stop was the Carhartt store for a bit of blog work, then IÂ 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 MoreI 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. They dump in a ton of this orange powder and it turns the river bright green. Downtown was packed…

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,…
Read Morean outfit for girls’ night out
So- I know I said that I rarely dressed preppy in my last post. Well whoops! Here is a little more prep with my mom’s old letter sweater from the high school she went to in Iran. Underneath that is a silk top from Ann Taylor Loft, all pulled together with a belt from Anthropologie. The Nike sweet…

This is the outfit I wore to work the other day. It’s a bit more preppy than my normal attire, but it was a fun outfit. I’m wearing my Nike Blue Chips, some jeans from Target, and a Ralph Lauren polo. The Carhartt track jacket above has captured my heart- it’s so comfortable and…
Read Morejust add a little mustache
Today I spent some time in Wicker Park at the Carhartt store on Milwaukee. I was feeling like a nice pop of neon orange and some bright yellows. So I threw on my grey and orange Nike high tops with my crazy mustache man socks from Urban Outfitters. The necklace I’m wearing is from a great little Chicago…
