Playing dress up….
is ok on Halloween! Ladies, it’s that time of year when you can dress like a total tramp and have your ass, among other things, hang out (even if no one wants to see it)! But, if you want to skip the stereotypical, schnoresville prostitute outfit, check out this “Where The Wild Things Are” outfit by Christian Joy. I want this, in a bad way. (Image found at We Love You So)
Opening Ceremony also collaborated with Where The Wild Things Are and came up with this very comfy wolf suit. So comfy, it’s Snuggie like….but way cuter! Too bad it’s sold out. (Image found here)
Love Notes…..
A dear friend sent this quote to me and I couldn’t resist playing around with it in Photoshop. Gotta love the intensity. Can anyone guess where this quote comes from?
Moncler FW09

Bruce Weber works his magic again behind the lens with his beloved dogs. Whether it’s a custom made Moncler jacket or your run of the mill parka available at Petco, our four legged friends (especially the 90 pound variety), don’t like to wear clothes. I tried and failed miserably. It was a pretty stylish army green number w/orange lining too (wishful thinking). Back to the store it went with a little drool on the collar. But even if it doesn’t work, this campaign is still super cute. {found via NY Times)
Mammoth beauty…..

Right after Point Break came out (and I watched it a dozen times in a row), I was pretty convinced I was going to become a pro surfer or at least marry one. One problem (actually two), I lived in Wisconsin (far far away from the ocean) and my swimming skills were just good enough to keep me alive, in a pool…..during gym class. One can dream though right? Powerful, inspiring, beautiful, peaceful and serene…..
OPERATION HEROES & HOUNDS!
What a great charity. Operation Heroes & Hounds matches homeless dogs from animal shelters with wounded military veterans. It is a charity that is beneficial for both military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury as well as giving animal companions a second chance at life. If you’re in the Chicago area, please check out the benefit for Operation Heroes & Hounds this Thursday (September 24th) 6pm at Bice Ristorante (158 E. Ontario). For more information, click here!
I’m happy to be donating this one-of-a-kind Toki piece to such a great cause! (Note: The feathers are ethically retrieved from naturally fallen feathers from peacocks).
It’s Official….
Mister Oliver is a Toki employee. O received his first piece of mail yesterday. I didn’t really think anyone took his bio seriously. But I was wrong! Thanks Google….he appreciates the acknowledgement.
Day Trippin’…..
in Lake Geneva and taking advantage of the last days of summer in the city….
