I told you this was coming. Behold my second pallet project: And the final product: For this table I just used tape, primer and spray paint. I had some help attaching the legs and also had sealant pu...
I drank the Pinterest Kool-Aid a while back and only just recently decided to attempt one of the many DIY ideas I’ve come across. I’m talking about pallets, people. Before Pinterest, I wo...
I’m not really one outfit posts, but this skirt was too fun not to share. It’s by ArielSimone and I wore it to MNfashion’s The Shows last week. I lovingly call it my mullet skirt...
Since I haven’t seen any of the movies nominated for an Oscar (besides Bridesmaids), it’s safe to say the most exciting part of this year’s award show are going to be the dresses. B...
Minneapolis-St. Paul Fashion Week is in full swing, folks. And last night I made a stop at the highly anticipated “The Shows” presented by MNfashion. The event featured fall 2012 collecti...
Uptown boutique Cliché decided to switch up the format for their annual Avoid the Grey spring fashion show this year by nixing the runway for large, enclosed boxes. Basically the models posed inside ...
A lot has happened over the last month. Holidays, out of town visitors, happy hours and such. Here’s a smattering of images from my Instagram feed (Find me. Username: kshoop) to give you a hint...
I spent half of this week being sick and therefore have fallen behind on scoping out new music. So I’ve decided to resort to some old-school Janet this week because you can never go wrong with ...
I got the opportunity to chat with hip hop/pop/electronic/other cool-sounding genre artist Theophilus London for an interview on kare11.com. You may have seen him pop up in the pages of Rolling Stone...
It’s really not fair that this chic looks AND sounds the way she does. It should only be allowed that you can either have a strikingly gorgeous face OR have a hauntingly pretty voice. Not both....
This dude is playing Minneapolis on Jan. 14. And since I’ve had his album on repeat the last few days, I might have to make an appearance. Happy New Year!
It’s been three weeks since we got the news that Metromix Twin Cities, the site I’ve been doing marketing (among other things) for over the past 13 months, is closing shop at the end of t...
We’ve officially entered into December which means there’s no escaping Michael Buble Christmas music, a flood of deal emails in your inbox and delicious sugary delights at every corner. M...
A little of what I’m listening to/watching this week… A friend passed this on to me the other day. Might try to attempt some of this over the weekend…maybe not, though: I’m ob...
I had the pleasure of attending the debut of Christopher Straub’s spring 2012 line at the Westin Edina Galleria yesterday. I got a sneak peek of some of his pieces at the 96.3 NOW show last mon...
Is this not the happiest song ever? Reason #7408 I want to be Beyonce. And I wouldn’t mind owning those kicks she’s wearing in the beginning. And because it’s Halloween weekend, I g...
It’s been a good couple months since I attended a fashion show, so it was fun to head to 96.3 NOW‘s fall show slash partay at the Fine Line last week. Local faves, Christopher Straub (of ...
This is basically how I feel come every Friday at about 4 p.m. Seriously. Why aren’t there dance shows like this anymore? I’m stealing that guy’s move at the 1 minute mark and using...
I think that if I were to travel back in time and tell my 12-year-old self that in 14 years I’d be getting all up in Hanson’s business while taking their photos at First Avenue…I probably would have ...
…As evidenced by how many people noticed my mug in the Star Tribune last week. Photo by Ellen Dahl Lawson. Also, check out her street style blog The Minneapoline. And yes, I’ve made a men...
This past weekend I spoke at the Minnesota PRSA Leadership Retreat held at Padilla Speer Beardsley. About 30 go-getting public relations students gave up their Saturday (that’s impressive right...
Miu Miu F/W 2011. These babies have been popping up on blogs everywhere. Not hard to understand why. I think that if I owned them “Walking on Sunshine” would have to be playing wherever I...
For many girls, past crushes are…well…a thing of the past. And ones we’d rather not relive. Like that boy with the cool Airwalks whose name you scribbled on notebooks encompassed in...
Only a few more days until Target’s next Go International line hits stores on September 13. This fall they’ve teamed up with Missoni and I can’t wait to throw elbows get my hands on...
My cruise down Memory Lane over the last few months continues… Andrea was kind enough to extend a last-minute invite to the Starkey Gala sponsor party and was a good sport about putting up with...
I’m a Minnesota gal which means I know how to appreciate a good three months of summer. And this summer was particularly action packed with work, weekend getaways and an inability to turn down patio ...
As some of you may know, I took a job at KARE 11 last October handling marketing, events and social media for their entertainment site Metromix.com. It’s a fun position because I get to wear no...
For all you PR/comm folks, there’s a new blog in town to add to your reader if you haven’t already done so: PRevolution. It’s run by Arik, Dave, Kasey and Lisa and should be a good ...
