Im going away for ten days or so. À bientôt![PHOTOS BY SAMUEL]
Can you believe how things change, how seasons change? My life looks completely different than it did four months ago. And, four months from now . . .
A different hour of magic.This was taken a couple weeks ago, when it was still cool enough to have the windows closed. Now Im sitting here in my underwear, mixing cocktails to ease—or forget—the...
I worked from home one day last week, avoiding the trouble of traffic and protestors associated with the NATO Summit in Chicago. It was nice to move through the workday at my own pace, stopping to re...

I. . . spent the morning with my coffee and the paper, and the afternoon with Victor in the garden. It was sunny and warm, which was a nice change from all the rain. . . . had a doctors appointm...
Light through linen is just—to say it simply—it.(On a similar note: did you ever see this, from my last apartment? Makes me want to open the windows and put on a record. I will.)
We removed the blinds and bars from all of our apartments windows to open up the space, but I could never bear to close the Venetians anyway. To some its a normal task, but to me its choosing white p...
Loafers and light.
Ive moved on from pops of green to . . . green everywhere. Thanks to V & Rs yard for the ferns.
Sunday, Earth Day, I got my bike out the door only to realize one of my tires was flat. Instead, I decided to walk the 2.5 miles to our friends garden, cutting across parks and streets at a diagonal,...
My ceiling needs to grow, because my plant has.
Life, ya know.
Sam had Monday off from work, so he made seafood gumbo with brown rice, and biscuits from scratch. We drank cheap beer and cracked the window, sitting and eating and talking—the kinda thing that make...
We went to Dose Market on Saturday, filled with beautiful people and beautiful things: veggie slider from Mana Food Bar, juice from Peeled, and a new cuff bracelet from Cities in Dust.
THOUGHTS ON CONTRADICTION:1Over drinks in a small bar Alice told Mr Sakamoto of the incident in the Métro, of the journey to the bookshop. She told him about the woman with the tattooed arm. Then she...
Some things I purchased at Spartan when I was visiting Austin last month. The shop is a dream, and a trap for people like me.
AROUND HERE TODAY:1.Ive been really drawn to metallics lately, especially this new little number. (Im still not buying any new clothes this year, but I had a gift card, guys.)2. Always into the ...
We cut a hand-me-down shelving unit into two pieces: 1/3 for a breakfast table in our front room and 2/3 for a potting bench outside. Our place is very spacious for a Chicago apartment, and, although...
Did I tell you guys about this? 11 inches and I feel free. Shout out to Alva Leigh for giving me the final nudge, via Twitter, I needed to make an appointment.[Top photo by Samuel]

Behind on my internet activity since arriving back in Chicago—which actually feels pretty nice—but, I was pleasantly surprised to see Elises mention of me on her guest post for Miss Moss yesterday (h...
I spent the last week in Texas filling my head with so many sights and memories. But, the sweetest one, though not location-specific, was waking up and making tea with a book by my side. I pretended ...

A short existence of 24 years and I feel like Ive lived a million lives. Without talking about regretful moments, do you ever look back with a sense of pride and think, "I cant believe I did that...
Sometimes thingsre messy . . .but I still stop and stare.
A post about Sam and hes not even pictured. Well, he turned 24 sometime after 8 a.m. today, which probably put him halfway through his snowy bike ride to work. I try to avoid meat for a few reasons, ...
