Small plates from our impromptu date night at Fork. My grape tomato plant is already yielding. Hows that for a bizarre spring? Sangria marinating. Quinoa Caprese Salad. Memoria...
When you can drink beer on the street, you have to take full advantage. Nothing to see here, just Zach Galifianakis doing the Second Line. Havent you always wanted to booze on a car...
1. I die for gold flatware. This design by Almoco is my current hearts desire. 2. I might be a little late to the party in mentioning Chanel Riva--particularly considering that the only place you can...
My favorite NOLA cocktail: A Bullet Sour from the Carousel Bar. I could use a weekend getaway. Unfortunately, I live in the only Illinoian destination one would want to get away to. (No offense, down...
Photos by Kaylynn Marie By now, you probably figured that I was swallowed by a sea of Louboutins at the Nordstrom semi-annual sale. Alas, my reality is much bleaker; Ive been sickish for the last sev...
The View from our NOLA hotel. I swear that I will get around to posting more shots from this trip. Chicago had the gall to get cold again. (Contain your shock.) Actually, temps are hovering aro...
It occurs to me that I dont speak about books much around here. (Lest I be cursing my favorite canine for selectively eating several of my first editions, of course. Which I did read, once, at ...
My 25th birthday, and a freak Chicago summer. Shortly after midnight, this St. Patricks day, marked 25 years during which Yours Truly has managed to keep herself alive. It has proved a harrowing busi...
My Easter table is complete. I cant say as much for the food, however, half of which I planned to make in advance of tomorrows festivities. Emphasis on the word, planned. I will blame the dog. ...
By the very talented, Kaylynn Marie, from our first anniversary shoot in NOLA. The Mister and Yours Truly have returned from our glorious venture south. Perhaps a little worse for the wear-weve both ...

Via Weekend links. Whew. You havent seen these bad boys in a while. Folks. The temperature in Chicago has bounced between 75 and 80 degrees all week. Yeah. In Chicago. Where most St. Pats days are ha...
First off, a sincere thank-you to everyone who expressed concern about the Mister and me. Yours Truly once again encountered the lesson that the universe has been diligently attempting to drill...
All photos Via The Selby You guys. I just die. You all know about my ill-advised allegiance to vintage, city apartments, the interiors of which could implode around you at any given mome...
Rachel Coppenhaver, you are the winner of the Sneakpeeq giveaway. Now, go on, treat yourself to something real nice.
The Mister and Yours Truly have been dealt a pretty tough hand this week. Please be patient with my absence / slower posting schedule for a spell. (I will still post the winner of the Snea...
Tuesday night I was intent on making a meal for myself. For those who arent aware, the Mister travels four to five days a week. So, naturally, most of my dinners consist of dried cereal and the occas...
I am just short of obsessed with the high-end discount sites cropping up around the web. (How did they know I needed eighteenth century Japanese dessert forks!?) Seriously. I had to brief...
I received the sassy little grey number pictured from Shabby Apple, an online boutique of womens dresses, a few weeks ago. I think its fair to say that I am in love. The brilliant thing about t...
Via Lets talk about fitness. ::Removes cookie from mouth:: Okay. Now. Do you gym? P90X? Stationary bike in front of Real Housewives? Or, do you scoff at weight-obsessed Americans because th...
A gorgeous photo by Kaylynn Marie, the photographer booked for our one year anniversary shoot in New Orleans. My dog ate upwards of a dozen of my very favorite books. You know, the ones that I would ...

Even in this god-awful cell phone picture, my hair still looks good. I havent washed it in five days... When was the last time you washed your hair? Yesterday? Two days ago? Three days ago? ::G...
Via Chicago is doing Chicago today, at a balmy nine degrees, snow shooting down in sheets. Days like this, the streets are just magical. What with the hundreds of cursing commuters, waddling to their...
Dressing up on a Sunday; my attempt to combat winter blues. Sweater, Banana Republic. Skirt, J. Crew. Blouse, Target. Tights, Calvin Klein. I am going to get a sun lamp. I have decided. ...
Breakfast rarely graces my table in the form of anything but garlic bagels. And, maybe a wayward croissant or two, purchased at the cafe across the street by the Mister after much bemoaning of hunger...
Just a little stroll down memory lane with these photos - the last time the Mister and I were in New Orleans. We were dating and yours truly was a dewy 22. That was a good age, no? Old enough for boo...
At least I was wearing a great dress... I threw my back out during New Years Limbo (which is a thing). Embarrassment. Shame. Just for the record, however, I got low. I dont know if it is the puke-y l...
Against all of my better judgement, I volunteered to host New Years Eve. Many of you are familiar with this holiday as the one which features glitter nail polish and dashed expectations. On eve...
