I was exploring the streets of Barcelona yesterday, and stumbled upon the coolest little store called Happy Pills. (Don’t get too excited kids it is a candy store that sells actual candy!) I am fascinated with this store and find the concept very clever. When you walk in, there are those little cone shaped paper … Read More

Bandage Boo Boo
I was out to dinner last night at Tavernita and noticed a girl at the bar. She was very attractive and could have looked fabulous, but the poor girl got it all wrong! She had on a bright pink bandage dress (not Herve Leger but it did the job) that would have looked great with just … Read More
Spring Cleaning: The Clothing Edition
I constantly catch myself preaching about Spring cleaning, so I thought it would only be fair to indulge in a bit of cleaning myself. I decided to tackle my closet over the weekend. I always use the same system when it comes to organizing the clothing portion of my closet. I thought my cleaning tactics … Read More
Would You Want to Know?
We have all had those embarrassing moments when we are sitting with our back to the crowd and the pants are just a little too low and the top is just a little too high. The only part of us that is exposed is the mid section or shall we say thong. Oops! And lets be honest, … Read More
Not Just Your Grandma’s Knitting
If you think knitting is just for grandmothers you certainly have not come across the new French line known as Piece D’Anarchive. I heard the collection was amazing, so made a point to check it out when I stopped by Blake this weekend. I was beyond impressed! It definitely has an Alaia feel but there is something “new” … Read More
Bring out the Fendi!
One of the first “It Bags” that I remember in my lifetime is the Fendi Baguette. It launched in 1997 and was “the bag” to have. The Fendi baguette has once again become a very cool bag to be carrying around these days. This year marks it’s 15th anniversary, so the design has been getting … Read More
The Importance of an Invitation
There are multiple ways to send out invitations these days. People use e-vites, facebook posts, tweets, etc. I suppose these types of invites are effective and cost free. However, I still prefer the classic paper invitation. I think it provides insight into the person who sent it and hints at what type of party to expect. No matter which type … Read More
What should I wear today?
Yesterday was one of the most beautiful days Chicago has seen in a while. The bikers were out, the lake front was crowded and Rush street was full of outdoor seating. Judging by what people were wearing it could have been 80 degrees or below zero! I saw some women in shorts and dresses who … Read More
Work Attire?
Oh, work attire. Awesome! That means I can just run over for a quick drink in my boyfriend’s hoodie and my favorite grey Lululemon sweats. I mean the invite does say work attire, and that is what I work in all day. Right? No. Wrong. Dead Wrong. Regardless of popular opinion, the concept of right … Read More
Lose The Nude
She may be a bit of a golden child, but this weekend Kate Hudson chose to be a lady in red. At first glance, I thought she looked stunning prancing around in her red Versace ensemble. All smiles. All fun. The gown was the perfect shade of red to compliment her hair, skin tone and … Read More
