Weather in Chicago was completely bi-polar this past weekend. It started innocently enough with temperatures in the upper-30s and then slyly moved into torrential downpours and full-blown blizzards; suffice to say, it was fun watching the city mildly freak out (myself included). Although I had things to do and places to be, I wasn’t about […]
As you can see from the white-speckled photos, it snowed this past Saturday in Chicago. I had my first Christmas party of the year to attend and it was the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. That, combined with the freshly fallen snow and recently hung wreath in my apartment, the spirit of […]
I never thought I would be one to say the phrase ‘cargo jeggings,’ let alone buy a pair–recent interest in cargo pants was a big step in itself. I couldn’t help myself, though. As soon as I saw them on a mannequin as I passed by American Eagle, my curiosity was piqued. When I saw […]

Fast forward to 2010: the adult in me slightly shudders at the […]
Who was cooler than Sloane Peterson in 1986? Well, I’ll give you a hint…it wasn’t me as I was barely a toddler. I might have missed the release of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, I definitely made up for lost time by watching it repeatedly as I got older. The crazy stunts they pulled were hilarious, […]
Whether it’s on display at a picnic via the tablecloth or splattered across your bathing suit, nothing says summer like gingham prints . It’s a universal print that’s been around for decades–even Dorothy couldn’t resist its checkered charm… *photo via My friend has the quintessential summer top: J Crew, gingham, sweetheart neckline/halter combo, i.e. perfect.

It seems as if the sun has been hiding lately…partout. When I left LA on Monday morning, the clouds and rain followed me to San Francisco. I spoke to my boyfriend about the weather back home in Chicago (we’re so exciting) and he grumbled that the dark clouds have been looming for a few days. […]
