Shifting Perspective
3 06 2013
There’s a lot to be said for guacamole, margaritas and girlfriend real talk to shift perspective. It’s funny- when I am in my shit, I always feel the need to do something different. This rooftop view, quite different than my porch view, was just what the doctor ordered and the impromptu girls happy hour was too.
I am going into this week with some serious gratitude for the people who know me well, for a sunny(ish) forecast and the city that never ceases to meet me exactly where I am.

Friday, Friends and Kites
31 05 2013
Running on this lake front path just does not get old. Neither does waving hi to friends you come across while doing so. I liked this morning. Big time.
This afternoon, however, can go fly a kite. But whatever- that’s what happy hour is for.
Happy Friday, friends!

Friday Link Love

This place is going to be my summer jam.
I hate DIY but I can get behind this lavender soda.
I say it every year but this is the summer we hit the water.
We don’t live in NYC (or Paris- PDA capital of the world) but Ryan and I are hand holding, public kissers, for sure.
If you want to have a weathervane next to your doorway, DO IT and other learnings from Holly Golightly’s apartment.
Bright Pink is an amazing organization and with Angelina Jolie’s announcement this week, they have been able to reach millions with their life saving message and tools. Assess your risk.

Fore!
14 05 2013
This is the perfect way to end the most gorgeous day- taking some swings at the Diversey Driving Range. Lake Shore Drive to the East, city to the West and a sea of green with white dots strewn all over straight ahead. I love this city.
Side note: if you are single and living in Chicago, you must not have ever been to this driving range. Since I am here with my partner, this counts me out but ladies…seriously. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel over here. Consider it.

Chi-rish Flashback
16 03 2013
1 year later and a full 30 degrees colder but once again, it’s a Chi-rish Saturday. Although I am sure we are all dreaming of the gloriousness that was the t-shirt weather of last year, I hope everyone is having a fun and safe Saturday enjoying all of the Green River festivities!

How About a Hump Day Treat?
20 02 2013
Wine, mani/pedis and Sex and the City are among my favorite things in the world and there’s a place in Old Town that apparently lives in my head.
Tonight, my nails got did, someone brought me wine repeatedly from a full bar and I watched episodes 1-3 from season 1 of SATC. Oh and I made some new friends because frankly, who doesn’t want to be friends with other girls who are clearly awesome with their taste in personal upkeep, alcohol and the television series that defined our generationand are sitting next to you enjoying the shit out of their evenings. Tonight was just what the doctor ordered.
Abre Nails- how did I not know about you before???
Essie Chinchilly and some ridiculous blue that is amazing because it’s freezing out again and I don’t have any damns left to give and just wanted something interesting to look at on my feet in yoga.
