Le Weekend.

This weekend, my follower and I cooked this lemony salmon with whole wheat penne, dills, and peas. It was so incredibly easy, plus it's delicious, and pretty! My follower is borderline obsessed with salmon so he rrrrreally enjoyed it. Then, we went to our friend Carrie's birthday party, which was Canadian tuxedo themed. Everyone dressed in head to toe denim- my follower even had a denim tie :-) Theme parties are my favorite. Shout out to my follower! Thanks for following!

Before I Die...

I keep seeing pictures of this around the interweb. I think it's such a cool idea and I wish I was in New Orleans to stop by and see it...

Public installation artist Candy Chang transformed this abandoned house on the corner of Marigny and Burgundy into a work of art where people can use chalk to fill in the blanks with their life goals and dreams. Apparently, they hose it down every time the board fills up and start again, but each response is documented by photograph and will ultimately be part of a book. 

Before I die I want to dance break as much as possible.

Have a fun weekend :-)

Where's Waldo : San Francisco Edition.

While I'm thinking of Clara, I thought I would post this silly picture. On my recent trip to San fran we saw this guy, dressed as Waldo, on Fisherman's Warf. Naturally, we crossed the street and stalked him for a few blocks so we could get this perfect snapshot. It cracks me up because it looks just like a real life recreation of one of the pages from a Waldo book haha.

Coffee Heaven.

Haha this cartoon perfectly describes my life, as well as Clara's. This makes me think of you, Clara. Even though we are 2,137 miles apart, I am sure that you are somewhere right now, probably drinking coffee. And probably not for the first time today. Actually, maybe you are the author of this amazing tumblr I found fuckyeahcoffee.tumblr.com. Such yummy pictures...

 Happy Thursday!

Where is Spring!?

I know the first official day of Spring was this week, but it has still been dark and gloomy in Chicago, with rain and thunderstorms on and off, and even a rumor of snow last night. Thankfully that one didn't come true! I guess this really isn't too unusual, because Spring in Chicago is always practically nonexistent- if you plan a vacation for the wrong week you might literally miss it and come home to Summer. So the good news is Summer might come at any moment now, but the bad news is I am ready for Chicago to stop looking like this:

And start looking more like this :-)).......

Ahhhhhhh wouldn't that be nice? For now I will just daydream, and enjoy the last month (I hope) of drinking hot coffee and chocolate before switching to iced.

Polka Dots.

I saw this picture of Kate Winslet looking gorgeous at a premiere for HBO's Mildred Pierce, and now I want a perfectly form fitting little black dress with polka dot accents for a retro feel (that I could probably wear with some bright red lipstick yesssss).
