¡Happy Cinco de Mayo!

May 5, 2016 by jennifermdarling

Happy Cinco de Mayo, my friends! It seems fitting after my most recent posts about my first trip to the beautiful country. Nothing like 100% cotton peasant tops (from my middle school favorite, American Eagle), a great set of wedges, and a new pair of polka dots Nikes. I went a little crazy with my online shopping. Here are some of the items I picked up: (Arie Off the Shoulder Crocket Trim Tee, AEO Lace-Up Bell Sleeve Top, AEO Button […]

you gotta wrap it, wrap it up

February 17, 2015 by jennifermdarling

Behold–the greatest Nike Gym Ballet Wrap ever twisted about my torso! Thanks for helping me pick a new Nike piece to add to my wardrobe the other day. I couldn’t be happier with our collaborative shopping effort. We should do that more often! I’m already dreaming up ways to wear this thing in a zillion different ways. Like those sneakers? Remember when I did the photography for the drop of the Liberty x Nike Bourton Pack for NTC in Chicago? THIS IS […]

the hunt for the perfect wedding sneaker

February 14, 2014 by jennifermdarling

Okay guys, I need help! I’m now on the lookout for the perfect wedding sneaker. I’d love to hear what you guys think I should wear down the isle. As a little girl, I was obsessed with the shoes Annie Banks wore to her wedding in Father of the Bride. Anyways… keep your eyes peeled for a beautiful pair of wacky Nikes. I need you! photo credit: Lindsay Steele (check out her lovely work!)

hell froze over

December 16, 2013 by jennifermdarling

Last week, I spent time in Minneapolis for work. Oh my goodness, it was cold! It got down to -9 degrees. I took off my jacket off for the first few pictures above and almost died. Although the temperatures were harrowing, the city was still quite lovely. I felt as though I was returning to a tropical paradise when I got back to Chicago, and that’s never a good sign. So excited to be headed to Texas soon. Then I’ll really […]

for people who take strange baths

December 4, 2013 by jennifermdarling

I 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 staring back awkwardly from a bathtub. Hilarious huh? What do you think? Would you rather bathe in Nikes? Popcorn? Strawberries? Candy? Check out theCHIVE to […]

Little Red Riding Hoodie

November 26, 2013 by jennifermdarling

I got this hoodie a while back while I was in Portland. It’s an interesting piece to have in your closet. The bold colors and length make a statement indeed. At first thought, it’s great for workouts or a walk to the gym. But I wanted to take it a step further and turn it into street-wear. Here are the two ways I came up with. Which look do you prefer? I put these photos side by side because the […]

rub-a-dub-dub, the Allegheny River is a giant tub!

November 18, 2013 by jennifermdarling

Visiting Pittsburgh is always an adventure. I finally made my way to Primanti Bros., where the french fries abound. In Pittsburgh, sandwiches come with the fries on the inside. Originally that was to make lunches easier for workers in the Strip District to eat on the go. It stuck around because it’s delicious. I also got to see the Rubber Duck floating in the Allegheny River. What a site to behold! Dutch artist, Florentijn Hofman, dreamed up this 40ft. attraction that travels around to different cities. Until next time, […]

all the sneaker ladies! now put your hands up!

February 14, 2013 by jennifermdarling

Hey there Chicago girls– it’s our lucky sneaker day! NTC in Lincoln Park is now open! (That stands for Nike Training Club.) It’s a giant Nike store for women that also offers classes and running clubs to the ladies in the neighborhood. How cool is that?! If you’re free tonight, swing by from 6pm-8pm for a running group led by Nike trainer, Marie Purvis. If not, check it out in the future. You’ll love it, I swear. I stopped in yesterday and picked […]
