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…

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…

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…

Read MoreNew 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…

I spent Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh this year. It was chilly and snowy… and I even salted a driveway for the first time in my life. Everyone thought it was funny that I was so enthusiastic about it. I also went to a really great Penguins game on the 27th. (Geno and Sid loved my sneaker wedges as…
Read MoreI took these photos with my sneakers a while back, so it was a surprise to me when I received a text from a friend, “You’re on theCHIVE!” I was confused. So I pulled up the site, opened a post entitled for no rhyme or reason…strange baths, scrolled down for a bajillion years, and saw myself…
