THE HARDER YOU LOOK THE HARDER YOU LOOK

Trips to the Art Institute always improve my day. Honestly, they improve much more than that. After visiting a museum, seeing new pieces and familiar works, those creations stick with you. It’s like the images are on instant replay in your mind, just like a good movie (or a bad one for that matter). Recently…

zippy zippy zippy bra!

Check out this cool Nike sports bra I got the other day! It zips! I paired it with a sweater top from Target, Gianni Bini skirt, Sky High Dunks, and Google Eyes. It’s a great outfit for a stroll in Wicker Park or the Bastille concert I went to that night. (which was awesome, by…

you can call me Rebar Girl!

So I just got back from spending the weekend in Nashville. It’s a lovely place, but I’m not so sure I belong there. It’s the land of country music and cowboy boots. It seems that I should fit right in, being from Texas and all, but I can’t say that I do. Any place that has…

off-road in ACG

I wore the heck out of my Nike ACG Boots while I was in Seattle and the surrounding areas. I came back with some great shots and 5 pounds of rocks. It was so peaceful out there. Your sole can just step back and take a breath. What would we do without nature to fuel…

sunless Seattle

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…

Well my little love bugs, I have some big news… I’m engaged! Can you believe it?! We threw an engagement party the other night with very personalized decorations. The Nike footsteps share a bit of our story. I came from Texas, and he came from Pittsburgh. We met in Chicago and fell in love! I…

I see stars. (and they look a lot like a pair of sneaker wedges)

I’m currently drooling over these Nike items: Metallic Sky Hi Sneaker Wedge, Pro Core Stacked Elastic Sports Bra, & Nike Tech Fleece. And in my Nike dreams, I’d wear all of these items with with: Michael Kors Caicos Sunglasses, Bone Cuff by Elsa Peretti, Banana Republic Acid Bright Statement Earring, & Cynthia Steffe Faux Snakeskin Ponte…

art museum posts are my favorite kinda posts

The Kimbell in Fort Worth, Texas is on of my favorite museums. I’m a Michelangelo freak, so that might explain it. A few years ago, The Kimbell acquired The Torment of Saint Anthony. It is supposedly Michelangelo’s first painting. You can see it above– depicting an old guy being attacked by a buncha demons. How cool…

santa monica bliss

So everyone in the continental US seemed to be aware of the horrendous weather last week, that is everyone but the people in California. I spent a few of the worst stormy days in Santa Monica and I was quite convinced there was no better place to be. I must admit, I’ve never been a…
