Nike – Page 11 – for the love of nike

all me all day, baby

This is my niece, Lily. It’s the funniest thing when you catch babies in very grown up stances or poses. This is the day we taught Lily what pockets are. She liked them at first, but got a little frustrated when she couldn’t pull her hands out of them on her own. If Lily could…

uno, dos, tres años!

I’m the type of person who is notoriously bad at remembering dates. Thank goodness for technology that does the remembering for me. Wordpress reminded me this morning that today marks the 3rd year of fortheloveofnike. One thousand and ninety five days ago, I started this blog for fun. After 422 posts and 7,016 of the…

Missoni Tribute: Butternut Squash Nike

Welcome to your Wednesday Rewind, folks! This is a post from 2011. I was rummaging through some old photos and found this series. Butternut squash and fall and chevron and Nikes and Missoni. Sounds like pure bliss, huh? yep. What do you think I should paint this year?

memberships to art museums are a girl’s best friend

I 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…

Who even knew there was a New York in Texas?

My birthday was a few weeks ago, so to celebrate, I went zip-lining in New York, Texas. The sensation of flying is the best feeling in the world. And the views were gorgeous. There was even a coke bottle in the sky that day. Can you see it?

ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Labor Day game day, baby! How did you celebrate your 3 day weekend? I went to Milwaukee to catch a Pirates vs. Brewers game. The Buccos won, 5-2. Miller Park is one of those nutzo stadiums with a retractable roof. (and a giant slide and a rock wall) If you’re going to the Brewer’s stadium, don’t…

backbones and shoelaces

I love that sweet spot of abstracting something just enough so that you can still tell what the object is but yet envision it as other objects. Hm. That might not have made sense all typed out like that. It sounded right in my head. Tell me what you think about this photo. To me the shoelaces resemble…

The Happy Show.

I fell in love with Chicago the day I moved here. Three years later, and I still think this city’s got it goin’ on. Beautiful summer days and free art shows. You have to check out The Happy Show by Stefan Sagmeister in the Cultural Center. It really gets you thinking. I know the sign at the…

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh

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…
