STREET ART AND CHAMBRAY

Hey guys!  Quick post on this steaming hot Monday!  Spent some QT with Papa DOS yesterday.  We love to go get ramen at Wasabi in Logan Square.  One of the best ramen spots in Chicago.  Actually in my opinion, it's THE best one in Chicago that I've found so far.  Yes, it was a little insane that we were going to eat hot soup on a 86 degree and humid day.  We were sweating the whole time eating.  Worth it though.  The best part was that right across the street was an amazing display of street art.  We were lucky enough to catch the artists in action.  Some of the walls were still in the artistic process.  So cool to see these artists doing their thing and sharing their art with the world.  This guy behind me is clearly one of my favorites.  Hehehe.  He looks so peaceful.  I also had the best damn iced coffee ever at New Wave Cafe.  It was my first time in there and the space is so chill.  I loved the atmosphere and omg the coffee... sooo gooooood.  There was also a farmer's market going on in the area.  I absolutely love strolling around a farmers market.  Especially when there are free samples of goodies.  Hehehe...  I must make it a point to head to Logan Square more often this summer.  And NOT just for ramen.  =D  I hope you guys had a great weekend!

switcheroo

Yes, I know, all that is different is the coat.  Hahaha!  Well this was taken on the same day we were in Soho right after I did some damage at Aritzia.  So obsessed with that store!  Especially because there was a huge mega sale section.  This jacket however was not on sale.  But it was pretty reasonable so I had to snag it.  I couldn't help but switch into this jacket right after my purchase so I could snap some shots and show you guys!  And it fit so well with what I was already wearing.  I did look pretty crazy swapping jackets in the middle of the sidewalk and ripping off the tags.  If I remember correctly, this jacket was just a little over $100 and is perfect for spring.  It was actually 55 degrees in Chicago today so I have a feeling I will be using this jacket again very soon.  Yay!  I hope everyone is having a great week!  This have been kinda cray at work and I've only been back for two days!  EEKS!

NEON PINK AND SPIKES

So this was day 2 of me in NYC.  It was so surreal to be surrounded by so much fashion and fabulousness even just strolling outside of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Faux Building.  =)  Yes that silver building behind me was put there just for Fashion Week.  There were so many incredibly fashionable people walking around, a whole slew of photographers and reporters, and tons of bloggers.  It was a bit intimidating to be quite honest with you.  It is extremely difficult to stand out in that kind of a crowd.  LOL.  But I tried with my pop of neon pink.  =D  I also am wearing this awesome spiked cuff from Doloris Petunia.  It makes me think of Street Fighter character Chun-Li.  KaPoW!  We were lucky enough to get in thanks to my gutsy cousin-in-law.  Hi Lisa!  She strolled up to the two security guards and shmoozed her way through, taking me and Papa DOS with her.  No we did not get into the tents to watch any shows but getting into the building was good enough for me.  Inside were tons of stations from the sponsors of the show such as Pepsi and Circa and of course Mercedes-Benz.  We got some free goodies, one being a hard plastic straw designed by Jonathan Adler which I am totally using to sip some water as I am writing this post.  Everytime I take a sip I think to myself... "oh you fancy huh? oh you fancy huh?"  Bwahahahaha... I'm such a nerd.  Thanks to Papa DOS being with me, I got to take some fun pics right outside.  Even if you can't get into the shows, outside and inside the building, is one big fashion show.  People are out in their best outfits ready to strike a pose.  Definitely going to try to come back next year... and umm... every year after that.  ;)
