More Hammocks and in case you need another reason to have a Dam good time


Good I am really loving hammocks these days. Check out this sweet pic of hammocks in Amsterdam! I wish I lived a few stories up so I could have one of these installed.

Holy Moly

Spring has hit Chicago! At long last! It's been a crappy few days of wind, rain, and thunder storms... aka perfect cuddling weather. I'll take it. Also loving this green color.

Hammock

So looking at my backyard today (on this wonderful 80 degree day in Chicago) I wish I owned...

This one comes from MaraƱon. It's located in Amsterdam and I went when I was with my friend Sam. We spent a lot of time test driving the hammocks one because it was college days in Amsterdam and we were well... you know and really enjoying each and every one. I think I have the appropriate set up in my back yard and could hang a hammock, just not sure how the old landlord would feel about that... any who don't I think I look pretty natural in this blue and yellow Moroccan style one.

American Eagle....

Living in a major city you rarely mall shop. If you live in Chicago, like me, you know Michigan Ave has lots of glorified Malls. If you're like me you typically when you go to a mall you know which stores you're going to go to. That being said I haven't been in to an American Eagle in over 3 YEARS. I slipped in there 3 years ago when I needed a sweater before a party before the Chicago Mac Race in 2006. Suffice to say it's not my favorite store. When I saw Denise Richard's Little girl wearing this... I WAS SHOCKED when I saw that it was from American Eagle!
Too cute right.... yes I want it in my size!



Gosh that little Lola is adorable.

I guess this little frock will have to do...

boom


I recently have become downright obsessed with Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Perhaps it's her lack of knowledge, her lack of wit, but I think it's her bulging eyes when she says the word "Boom." Hello girl crush!

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air and thus there is tons of wedding coverage on the blogs, in daily emails, and I feel like I see one of those bride shows on every other minute (thank you daytime television.) I really love that DailyCandy is doing all this great wedding coverage because they have made it so easy to find awesome jewelry! Kudos DC!Here we have an Ah- May- ZING micro pave platinum with cushion cut diamond by the Ruby Door in Boston. UH! It's fabulous. I would definitely where it as one of those right hand diamonds on my middle finger so I can easily see it as I type my daily find on this blog!

Also I am totally LOVING this little diddy by my girl Lindsay.

My fav store...

I bought this fab top from Forever 21 a few weeks ago and all I want now is some skin tight skinny jeans to wear with them. I am very tempted to go over to the Blue Jeans Bar and make a purchase. A bigggg one!
