modern vintage
Last weekend a girlfriend and I attended the Modern Vintage Chicago Spring Fashion and Jewels show. Let me just say, had we come prepared with the maximum cash with drawl, times one million, we might have had enough cash to purchase everything we wanted! I was on aesthetic pleasure overload. My eyes were sparkling with the images of vintage Chanel, hundreds of vintage LV trunks, vintage Hermes, costume jewelry, fashion prints, indie designer booths and so much more. And there were THREE full floors of this gloriousness. How does Chicago house so many gems you ask? We don't. Vintage dealers from NYC, Atlanta, Philly and Texas graced us with their bank-emptying fashions. Yeah it's still 2 degrees outside, but at least we have goodies like this to keep us lovin' Chicago.

o' chicago:
I woke up the Saturday before St. Patty's around 10am, motivated to go on a run, so I laced up my shoes to venture off for a run on the lake and river. Much to my surprise, the city had been awake [and clearly celebrating] far before I had even left the house. It was pretty amazing to stumble upon the dying of the river, looking into the city from the east, and to watch the city come alive through [green beer] celebration!

steppin' to this:
Now I don't possess enough technical knowledge of theater and acting, so I won't even attempt to explain my cherry popping experience of theatre but in a simple way: AH-mazing. During the three and a half hour Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf play I most definitely cringed at the awkward moments and empathized with the sad ones. All I can say is kudos to the incredible actors who portray the story with such intensity and fervor. I am so lucky to live in a city that offers such awesome entertainment outlets. Bravissimo!

howlin' for 2011:
Okay, so we may be 21 days into January, and obviously I am a little late wishing everybody a Happy New Year. But hey, I have seen several, still lit, Christmas trees displayed in windows all over the city. I have to say I don't feel too badly wishing everybody a belated Happy New Year at this point.
Traditional Japanese dinner, Toshikoshi soba, symbolizing longevity with their long noodles. Swarovski crystal chopsticks from Tokyu Hands in Tokyo.
We celebrated NYE by ringing in the new year with the Black Keys at the Aragon Ballroom!
I was eyein' these babies from the moment we walked in.
The countdown begins.....three...
...two....
....one!! Happy New Year Chicago!
Cheers to a full year of exploring amazing food, people, music and culture in Chicago!
