that one piece.

So finals week is finally starting to get to me. I'm moving to a new apartment soon and crazy studying for finals and for the LSAT. I'm pretty much busy all the time and I've fallen behind on fun things...like the blog.

But whilst online window shopping today I cam across this gem from Free People. This cannot be any more awesomely cool. If I lived near an ocean (I don't think the lake counts) I would take up surfing just so I could wear this! I think this surf suit is so flippin cute and am considering buying it just beccause.

LOVE IT!

NoMeatAthlete.

This is one website that I can lose so much time on. No Meat Athlete is a website that is dedicated to vegetarians and vegans (and those who want to eat less meat) who are, mostly, running athletes. There are great articles about proper eating, especially when working out, and great info for different training programs. They also have a pretty delicious recipe selection...I'm a sucker for good food.

plain and simple: jeans.

I am in desperate need of jeans. Desperate. I cannot help but pine after these gorgeous campaigns...with all their denim...

I just need jeans.

lazy day.

It's just one of those lay-in-bed-all-day kind of days today. Coffee, books and magazines, movies (of the guilty pleasure sort). Cell phone is off and computer is being stored.

Enjoy the day!

I simply love denim on denim. Today, as a matter of fact, I am wearing a dark denim shirt and black jeans. Fantastic! Of course there are certain restrictions that apply so that you don't look ridiculous. 

tis the season.

Maybe all of these aren't the best for actual swimming and floundering around in the water. But hot damn, they are cute! Throw a floppy hat and some sunnies on and I could totally see myself asking the beach boy for another drink!

wicker park.

I'm still exploring all the neighborhoods of Chicago but Wicker Park has become my new favorite. I moved to the Loop from a small town in Michigan last August for school so I'm a little slow-going investigation wise but I'm coming along! Either way. 

If you want to score some cheap vintage (and sometimes not so cheap) then Wicker Park is the place to go. I've been trading a lot of my old and tired clothes in for new and exciting pieces that definitely spring up my wardrobe! 

Plus there are some amazingly cool bars and cafes lining the streets. It's an awesome neighborhood that everyone should check out if they get a day.

april springtime.

Seriously loving the wild flower prints! They look amazing paired together with a clashing yet well mixing pair or just as an accent. Love the sandals with denim cutoffs. And the Opening Ceremony bathing suit! Seriously?! What a steal at $170! What a fantastic way to bring in spring!
