what to pack on a road trip / for the love of nike

road trip essentials

October 23, 2014 by jennifermdarling

I would post Montana pictures everyday if I could. Here are a few more snap shots from my trip. I thought I’d share a few of the travel hacks I’ve picked up over the years. The idea is to pack as light and smart as possible. Keep it simple and only bring along necessary items. Think about it, when you take a trip– what’s important to you? my travel essentials: a comfy pair of sneakers that are good for lots […]

Homestead Montana / for the love of nike

stepping back in time

October 20, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Tinsley House in Bozeman, MT is over 100 years old, and life goes on about as if no time has passed since the day it was built. The entire structure was moved from its original location of Willow Creek so it could be near the Museum of the Rockies. A staff, dressed in the traditional garb of the day, runs the homestead. Fresh pies are baked daily, a metal smith and carpenter are on staff, maintaing the property, and the […]

Pittsburgh Adventures / for the love of nike

Let me be your Pittsburgh tour guide.

September 15, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Pittsburgh is surprisingly a fun city to see as a tourist. It’s hilly and bridge-y and filled with good art. The natives, also known as Yinzers, are down to earth, sports fanatics, and like french fries in their sandwiches. where to drink: Fathead’s Fatheads is the place to grab a great beer (or a few of them). They have 42 continually rotating taps and the food is tasty too. where to sightsee: Gateway Clipper Cruise The Allegheny and the Monongahela […]

for the hate of lolla

August 13, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Another year, another Lolla. I have a love/hate relationship with it myself. I’m sure that’s true for many. But hey, where else can you see an endless number of bands in a matter of 3 days? Here are a few things I learned about the festival. Let’s start with the etymology of the word. Lollapalooza (lä-lə-pə-ˈlü-zə) is a noun that was first used in the late 1800s meaning “an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or […]

The world’s worst boat driver– that’s me!

June 3, 2014 by jennifermdarling

After my recent helicopter adventure in Chicago, it was time to bring the excitement to the water. A few friends and I gathered for a birthday boat ride up and down the Chicago river, complete with the first cheesecake-stand on a boat. I started off as the captain… but believe it or not… I’m a horrible boat driver. So I relinquished the reins, and I think everyone (myself included) was much more at ease.

CHicago Helicopter Ride and Sky Hi Sneakers

May 21, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Whew! That was my first helicopter ride. It was so fun and a little scary. But once you see the really great views, you forget all about your nerves. We flew straight into downtown Chicago, in between iconic buildings like The Hancock Building, Trump Tower, and the Willis Tower. The second we landed, I was ready for another helicopter ride. Who wants to come with me?! take a closer look at my liberty x nike bourton sneaker wedge boot here

sunless Seattle

February 27, 2014 by jennifermdarling

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 public farmer’s markets in the US. It’s also home of the first Starbucks. So that’s cool– I guess. There will be more pictures soon!

ringing in the new years with faux fur, rainbows, and star-shine

January 6, 2014 by jennifermdarling

New Year’s Eve is a great excuse to dress up in your fancy-smanshy clothes. I wore my new aluminum jewelry from the Art Institute in Chicago with my favorite black velvet dress. Throw in my long beaded gloves from Target and a faux fur hat from Canada and you’re ready to ring in the new year! But don’t forget the lipstick…super red Dior Addict Gloss will do the trick. Then top the outfit off with the Fashion Week Tokyo Sky […]

hell froze over

December 16, 2013 by jennifermdarling

Last week, I spent time in Minneapolis for work. Oh my goodness, it was cold! It got down to -9 degrees. I took off my jacket off for the first few pictures above and almost died. Although the temperatures were harrowing, the city was still quite lovely. I felt as though I was returning to a tropical paradise when I got back to Chicago, and that’s never a good sign. So excited to be headed to Texas soon. Then I’ll really […]
