A newly gained obsessions

Koko-rokoko!!!  (thanks Meghan!)

This store sells 80's & 90's clothing...one of my many loves!  I even found a Pop Swatch in their jewelry case; Meghan thought I named my blogged after the Pop Swatch watches from the 90's.  I didn't...but that's another story.

I picked up a couple of shoes.  Yay!  and a fun top with a small Mary Poppins print :)  "a spoon full of sugar..."

So, check out their blog http://koko-rokoko.blogspot.com/ or stop by the shop in Chicago at Division and Ashland.

even our fights are lackluster...

Mochi Delight

Danielle and I went to dinner at Ping Pong tonight...the best part of dinner was the Mochi sampler...besides spending time with Danielle ;)

**note the 2 samplers...not 1 but 2!  it was that good!

Where I Want to Be...

Pitchfork Music Fest

Pitchfork this weekend and you know what that means....

good live music, good friends, and "hipsters" who look like Urban Outfitters threw up on them...yes, yes.  Let the festivities begin!

I'm attending Friday night's show but won't make Saturday or Sunday because....I have to work a show!  

It's good to be home

I just got home from being in St. Louis for several days.  I spent most of my time with Jenny...it felt good to reconnect with her and many others who I keep close to my heart..haha, I'm so cheesy.

I was really excited to visit my favorite vintage shop when in St. Louis, Avalon Trading (formerly Rag-O-Rama) and even more excited to take home a handmade stone necklace.  Apparently, the previous 2 owners split and 1 has taken on the store.  With the exception of a few cosmetic changes, the store is as its always been.  Doesn't it look like the kid sister of Wasteland in San Francisco?  Well, I think so anyway...

The pics of the little fireworks show remind me of the shirts I would "design" as a kid with squiggly paint...take a look!

4th of July

Happy 4th!!!
