get low.

i would love to be the kind of girl who can walk around in heels all day, but that's just not going to happen. these lower heels, however, are walkable but would still give me a little lift.
and wouldn't the blue ones be awesome in the fall with some black or maroon tights?
both available here.

food inc.

a few days ago paul and i watched food inc. it was so eye-opening. a lot of what they talked about i feel like we already know in the back of our heads, but it was still kind of crazy to see. it just reminded me how important it is to eat consciously! it also made me really excited for farmer's markets to start up again.

just a few days.

i will be home in dc for a few days and then my mom will be here in chicago. i probably won't be posting for a few days.
have a wonderful weekend!

best train stops ever.

have you heard about this? for a new marketing campaign, ikea set up their furniture and accessories inside a number of paris metro stations. it lets people interact with their products without ever going in to a store. i think it's pretty ingenious. i would be so happy if i could sit on a comfy couch while waiting for the blue line (although i image they would get pretty nasty pretty quickly).

yes please.

if there is one thing i absolutely love about chicago (other than riding my bike everywhere) it's the restaurants. they are amazing! these are some of the ones that have been on my list to check out.

the publican. pork, mussels, and beer.


kith & kin. famous for crocks of deliciousness.


dmk burger bar. i love me a good burger.


urban belly. a bowl full of yummy noodles and dumplings.


great lake pizza. once voted the best pizza in the country.

slightly less expensive than the other leather jacket i just posted, but still not within my price range.
super cute though.
