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,…

my, oh my, whatta stud
My DIY project this week led to some outfit eggspiration. Don’t you love the natural hue of organic eggs? They have such lovely, peaceful colors. How great is the dichotomy between those mellow pigments and the studs? (okay…they’re just a buncha brads I punched very gently into a few hardboiled eggs) See how to make…
Read More3 concerts, 2 nights, 1 pair of sneaks
I’m a firm believer that the sneaker wedge is the perfect concert-going shoe. It’s comfortable and gives you a few inches of lift to see above the people standing in front of you. All you short girls know what I’m talking about. and VIVA CHICAGO! a wonderland of concerts and live music!
Read Morechasing waterfalls (good thing I wore my sneakers)

Few things are as therapeutic as standing directly in front of a waterfall, soaking wet from waterfall juice.

baby sneakerhead in the making
This is Lily, my too cool for school little dude. I guess you could also call her my niece. Her little Cortez sneakers are quite possibly the cutest Nikes I’ve ever seen. We call this her jazzercize outfit, complete with elbow patches, striped leg warmers, and pink headband. You go girl! I have a feeling many…

Meet Liz and her very minty Nikes. Nothing like a little festive cheer with a bit of minty goodness on your feet! Am I right?! We went to a German Christmas Market downtown and filled ourselves with warm cider and cinnamon nuts. I love Chicago at Christmas time and I want the pre-holiday excitement to last…
