It couldn't get much better...babes, (free) booze, cute clothes(on sale!) and catering by Mr. Tamales.

Eskell's opening party was so much fun. In case you missed it, here's the scene...

Great fall look: tweed blazer, big cat belt buckle & blue leather boots. The Catholic school girl in me loved the charm necklace accoutered with a St. Christopher medal and Italian horn...brings me back to my south side days.

Cute, that 's it. Just plain cute!

You know it's getting cold outside when you see someone wearing two sweaters, AT ONCE. This fella was channeling a total New England vibe with his cardigan and boat shoes, which I love. His mini ponytail was just icing on the cake.

Um, seriously, don't you love this poncho?!
Belt + Mexican poncho + black tights = fabulosity(that's not a real word but we can pretend). I've said it time and time again, Accessorize. Take note gals!

Here in Chicago we bypassed Fall, thanks to that asshole, global warming, and have blown straight into the beginnings of a ridiculous winter.

Fear not, that just means we're one step closer to 'Beard Season'. Yummm-y!

(Sub)urban Style

Remember when you were a kid and you used to go to that one place "in the city" where you could get your dog collars, bowls, condoms, and non-mall clothes?

For Chicago, that used to be "Clark and Belmont" but as time goes on, whether we like it or not, Wicker Park has become that place. Back in the day, all the suburban kiddies would load into that ONE-friend-with-a-license's car and drive into the city to spend a day smoking cigarettes and stocking up on all the weird shit their parents didn't want them to have.
