The world’s worst boat driver– that’s me!
After my recent helicopter adventure in Chicago, it was time to bring the excitement to the water. A few friends and I gathered for a birthday boat ride up and down the Chicago river, complete with the first cheesecake-stand on a boat. I started off as the captain… but believe it or not… I’m a horrible boat…

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

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…

New 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…
Read Morerub-a-dub-dub, the Allegheny River is a giant tub!
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…

Michigan City in Indiana, you look pretty. It’s such a quaint little town, right on Lake Michigan. There’s a lot of sand and it’s beautiful. Isn’t it funny that giant piles of sand can be fun to look at? My skirt and jacket are from Anthropologie and my sneakers are from NTC Lincoln Park. These…

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…

We are a species made up of paradoxes and contradictions. There is more than one story to every person, life, and situation. You may think it’s a bit of a stretch, but I feel the same way about personal style. Think about your personality, your likes, and your dislikes. If your personal style reflects who you are, then there…
