Shoe of the Day


Kicky and red! The Jeffrey Campbell Gwen in wine. We are in love. This cute little pair is just right for the holidays and to keep the winter blues at bay. We also love the double ankle straps- slightly S&M. Check them out at Lori's shoes.

Intersections-Views Across Chicago


At the John Buck Company Lecture Hall Gallery pictures of major Chicago intersections are on exhibit. The pictures were taken as documentation by the Chicago Surface Lines streetcar company during the 1930's and have remained undiscovered in the archives of the Chicago Transit Authority. Being fans of ducumentary photography, we can't wait to make it to the exhibit and check out what our favorite intersections looked like then. Go now! For more information visit architecture.org.

Let's Be Awesome




From the team behind Fooey come fun, super soft t-shirts for men and women. Let's Be Awesome offers up more than your run-of-the-mill cotton T. They are incredibly comfy and the women's shirts all have some nice little detail like a thick waist band or substantial cuffs. Oh yeah and the shirts ARE NOT supplied by American Apparel. We like that.

Charcuterie + Cheese + Wine= Happiness



Give us some salty cured meats, some cheese, and a bit of something sweet and we are in heaven! Don't forget the olives, cornishons, some pâté, and wine of course. It seems like up until about 4 years ago there were only a handful of places to get a good selection of cured meats, cheese, and the necessary accoutrements here in Chicago. Nowadays everybody is offering it. Our faves are the plates offered at Avec, Le Bouchon, Quartino's, Juicy Wine Company, and, BIN Cafe, and Forno. Sit down and catch up with a friend while sipping on some wine and treating your tastebuds to the earthly delight that is CURED MEATS and CHEESE!!
