what day is it?

October 8, 2013

sorry for my absence yesterday….

I was just not ready for Monday morning.

I guess lord yeezus and I do have something in common.

I missed Miley on SNL because my DVR didn’t record…. until I’m able to watch, how was it? Did you want to chuck things at the television whilst yelling profanities?

lots of tongue sticking out I’m sure….

Delayed weekend recap:

I had a friend’s gorgeous wedding this weekend and it was so much fun.

I need to upgrade fom the iPhone 4 asap…. the camera barely works and ever since I downloaded the new software (I hate it, the calendar especially – it’s awful) my phone is running even more slowly. I hate technology sometimes.

My laugh of the day: a Buzzfeed link. Shocker.

my two favorites: Forest Gump and Lt. Dan

September 30, 2013

I headed south to visit my family this weekend and it was so nice to be home.

I brought a treat for my future nephew from Chicago.

My sister made the most amazing dinner.

Ina Garten’s Meatballs with spaghetti. I have NEVER tasted a meatball this great.

She also made the cutest dessert – mini oreo cheescakes!

We went and registered for my wedding china…. take one guess as to which direction this is going….

obviously I added these to the list as well.

checking out the chargers – monogram options for script/block, center/top of plate

The Christmas china is a fortune – all of it is hand painted and the price sure as hell shows it. I won’t be registering for any of these because of that, but hopefully over the years I can collect a few pieces because I just love it.

Oh, and update from the book club front:

The Interestings was awful. Seriously Disappointing.

anyone else read it? thoughts?

I’m happy to be home and back to my devoted DVR. He’s always so happy to see me.

So many shows to catch up on – How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Project Runway, Revenge, Homeland… the list goes on and on.

September 24, 2013

Kanye west is the “No. 1 Rock Star on the Planet.”

this news is, of course, brought to us from Yeezus himself.

He is also the No. 1 Ass on the Planet.

check out the interview (just one of many filled with his ridiculous words) here

I had an amazing weekend with my brother-in-law and his friends in town.

so many photo bombs, so little time

Just realizing I wore stripes all weekend….

mr. dicknose and a bride, with no husband to be seen, hanging on hubbard

inaugural taco fest on southport.

while I enjoy a street fest in our neighborhood, the constant blasting music for two days straight was a little much for me.

I put myself on a zero shopping budget August 1st and am proud to say it has extended all the way through this last week of September. But I’m starting to get the twitches and tics of Lamar Odom going through withdrawal, and I think the second October 1st comes around some online shopping for fall is going to need to happen.

It’ll be my 60 day reward for not shopping by shopping. Like how the most natural way to celebrate sticking to a diet is to devour as much fried food and cream cheese based dips as possible the second it ends. Obviously.

August 19, 2013

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Sorry for the lack of posts at the end of the week – it was a crazy week filled with nights out almost every night with friends and I didn’t have enough time to cram everything in.

Thursday night I went out on a sailboat – first sunset boat ride in years.

Makes you remember how amazing Chicago is.

dining al fresco

Took in the air and water show.

I just realized it looks like I have a FULL BLOWN unibrow in this photo.

The Blue Angels didn’t come this year, so compared to others it was very less exciting, but still amazing and fun to watch as always.

And of course topped the weekend off with Lilo on Oprah’s Next Chapter.

I really didn’t feel like it was that great…. the previews were kind of misleading.

I felt like it was a lot of Oprah talking? And answering the questions? Am I alone in thinking that? No shocking answers at all – other than admitting to being an addict with alcohol I suppose.

I did like the orange dress with white and black spotted pumps though.

Weekend Recap + Monogram Monday

August 5, 2013

Thursday night (we’ll just pretend that counts as the weekend)

my friend and I tried Homeslice for the first time in Lincoln Park.

It has an amazing back courtyard, and yes the El can get a little noisy, but the food and atmosphere make it completely worth it. I can’t wait to go back.

Dinner with friends Friday at her new place, with lots of wine, pizza, and girl talk.

sorry – stole your photo, Al, mine sucked 🙂

We ran errands downtown, and had a pitstop between stores at Quartinos for some sangria and fondue.

It also didn’t hurt that the al fresco dining made for incredible people watching while everyone stumbled home from Lollapalooza.

All of their food is seriously crack, but my latest obsession is this fondue.

Kip used to live right next door, and it made me miss being in River North every weekend.

I couldn’t be more obsessed with today’s Monogram Monday.

I have always wanted one of the big Louis Vuitton carryall’s, but no way was that going to happen.

At one point my friend knew a Chinese website that sold amazing fakes, but alas, when I went to pull the trigger it had already been shut down…

So… While I was in NYC, my friend Natalie brought my attention to this bad boy.

// c. wonder ikat bag //

Not only is it the exact same size as those beauteous designer bags,

it has great pockets inside for all the knick-knacks,

it is so inexpensive, and I ordered it with free monogramming and free shipping.

Be still my monogram obsessed heart.

ha, see what I did there. #loser

July 29, 2013

I’m back from a long blog break. I have to admit, it was nice to get away for a bit, but I’m happy to be back.

Here are some photos from the last couple weekends. Two weekends ago my best friend and her fiancé visited, and this weekend I headed to NYC to visit some girlfriends.
