Friday night, I got to glam up to go see some Chicago local men strut their stuff on the runway!  Sporting some super fab looks from Apartment Number 9, Haberdash, Sir and Madame, and City Blue, these stylish divos show the rest of Chicago's men how to dress for the season.  It was a fun show filled with good music and just plain good times.  I loved how happy they were to be walking down the runway.  =)  Great job guys!  I was thoroughly enjoying the view.  Center stage baby!  Excuse the iPhone video, a DSLR just doesn't fit in a clutch.  Hehehe...

Also excuse the commentary from Jan Ban.  Ow Ow!  LOL!

Sorry I didn't get a really good outfit photo  Wearing a dress from AllSaints, vintage Michael Morrison belt, and carrying around my Chanel clutch.  I should have brought my gear.  Drats!  Hope you enjoyed the video!  Keep up with the events at The Underground Chicago and follow them on Twitter @undergroundchi to get updated on fun shows like this one.  Underground has such fun music!  I always love getting my groove on there.  They also have some ridiculously good looking bartenders and security.  Eye candy... HOLLA!  Thanks to my two lovelies for coming with me - Trace Face and Jan Ban.  Also big thanks to The Hubster for tagging along and snapping the pics.  <3 ya boo!

I love them so much I wore then twice in one weekend!  Hehehehe... This day was full of running errands and window shopping with one of my faves, HJ.  But first it was off to the to the groomers for little Wrigley, hence the leash in all the pics.  =)  He needs to be primped and adorable for the upcoming Christmas parties.  It was awesome to finally get to take some photos out in the sun with The Hubster.  It's been a while since he's picked up the camera so it took him a while to get some non-blurry shots.  Hahaha.  I spent the first half of the day finishing up some Christmas shopping and stopped by Water Tower Place.  Aritzia will be having their Holiday sale soon and I went to do some pre-sale research so I am more efficient once the sale hits.  Hehehe...  I definitely have got my list going.  Then, I spent the rest of the day roaming on Michigan Ave with HJ.  T'was a blast!

My posts are going to become a little sparse in the next couple of weeks.  Only because it's going to be so busy!  Christmas is coming up!  And I actually have to cook this time.  I get away with not cooking for Thanksgiving so I make up for it during Christmas.  Hehehe...  The Hubster and I host a family gathering on Christmas Eve at our home.  It's also when we exchange gifts with everyone.  I love giving presents.  I actually try to put a lot of thought into the gifts I give.  My mother in law always says "You always get me something I didn't know I wanted but once I have it, I can't imagine NOT having it."  LOL!  I hope everyone gets to spend time with those they love on Christmas and that you all get fun presents!   And also The Hubster's birthday is right around the corner!  He is a New Year's Eve baby!  So that will be another fun celebration.  =D  I'm also going to try to go snowboarding once before the year is over.  So yes, it's going to be busy busy busy.  But it will be all worth it!
