Think Pink

Hello lovelies! We hope you had a wonderful weekend! As you may know, October is breast cancer awareness month and there are many different ways to help support the cause. You don’t have to love pink, but it sure helps with so many fabulous pink products out there that donate a portion of their procedes to cancer...

Mobile Garden

With all this rain lately, green abounds! Gardens are inspirational in and of themselves but here’s one with a special spin. UIC Art and Design graduate Joe Baldwin was given the opportunity to participate in this year’s Art on Track festival a few weekends ago by turning the interior of a CTA rail car into...

Vive Lacroix!!

The oh-so-fabulous Christian Lacroix has teamed up with Sicis to create the most stunning line of housewares! The collection is called Theodora and it is named so and inspired by the mosaics of the sixth-century proto-feminist Empress Theodora (wife of Emperor Justinian I) that adorn the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, where Sicis is...

Autumn

The first day of autumn is this Friday! As much as we love summer’s bright colors and beach days, we’re so excited for the palate of fall, hot coco and sweaters. If you remember, back in August we did a post on burgundy and garnet as the hot fall colors (see post here), but we think you...
