Lolla 2013

August 9, 2013 by jennifermdarling

If Chicago was the city it is in the summer all year round, this would be the greatest city on earth. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. We all just say the winter makes you really enjoy those summer days. Well, the warm days are almost over, and I’m eating up as much of the fun while I can. Lollapalooza, one of the coolest outdoor music festivals, was last weekend. I went on Sunday and got to hear some great tunes […]

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh

July 17, 2013 by jennifermdarling

If you’ve ever been to The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, you know they’re photo nazis there. I managed to sneak a few illegal pictures on my phone. (The trick is to pretend that you’re texting.) There was so much to see! It’s the largest US museum that’s dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhola–not a typo, that’s his birth name–was born and raised in Pittsburgh. He worked in all forms of media: painting, printmaking, photography, drawing, silk screening, sculpture, film, and […]

“Drink up me hearties, yo ho! We’re rascals, scoundrels villains, and knaves!” I just threw a pirate birthday party, complete with a giant treasure map, treasure chests, gummy bears, inflatable beards, and cupcake stands. (in lue of keg stands, of course) I wanted to dress accordingly, so I wore a blue dress from Target. Check out the wave-like pattern on it! I paired it with a pair of my Liberty of London Sky Highs, perhaps with the kind of pattern you’d see on a […]

wiki-wiki weekend in Wisconsin woods!

March 25, 2013 by jennifermdarling

What was intended to be a cross-country ski trip turned into a snowshoeing experience. Turns out, when you’re as clumsy as I am, wearing shoes that make your feet bigger isn’t a good game plan. It was a fun trip full of wine, pie, and snow. When winter feels like it just won’t go away, you might as well embrace it.
