A Story (albeit small) in Chicago Collection!

December 10, 2010

For over a year, I pitched the local quarterly shopping magazine, Chicago Collection. Finally, after much trying, I got an itty-bitty piece into their “In the Know” section with a story about Lindsay Pinchuk and Bump Club Chicago. Yay! Here’s a link to my piece, but you can’t read it online. I got my copy [...]

Oy to the world

December 1, 2010

Did I tell you about the night I went drinking tequila?

November 17, 2010

I didn’t think so. Last week I was invited to an event at an amazing house in Old Town for Sauza tequila but on by the one and only Beth Rosen. (How do I get invited to these things?? I’ll never figure that out). This event, a “Ladies Night In” featured amazing margaritas and food [...]

November 7, 2010

It all started over the summer at the Not BlogHer event when Caitlin and I were discussing our current projects. Just so happened we had some crossover in meeting Deree Kobets, the owner of grow modern boutique in Wicker Park. The conversation was casual but purposeful, “wouldn’t you love to do something with her?” “Yeah.” [...]
