Ion Hotel | Arnessysla, Iceland Perched on the slopes of Mount Hengill, near Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park and only an hour’s drive from Reykjavik.
My childhood girlfriends have been tossing around ideas for future trips and Iceland is on the list. This beautiful hotel makes a tempting argument…
Yesterday we had the nicest temp day of 2013 in Chicago, so naturally it called for seeking out a lunch option that was a bit further away from our office than normal in order to extend our mid-day sun exposure as long as possible. Without a question, my co-worker Autumn and I decided to head to Grahamwich, one of my favorite spots (Graham Elliot’s waldorf chicken sandwich is the best...

A cafe in Zurich creates The Velokafi: a docking station for cyclists. My kind of invention.

You didn’t make it to Coachella this year? Neither did I. Bummer. You want to get in on the action? Yes. Stream select performances all weekend on Coachella’s YouTube station, which just went live a few minutes ago. I’m looking forward to hearing Alt-J’s set later tonight.
Happy listening!

I have always been inspired by furniture design. In another life I might have been a wonderful chair designer, but until then I’ll let my eyes be wowed by the ever-evolving world of design. Take these pieces above, which are part of a current exhibit put on by the Parisian collective ‘Meet My Project,’ which brings together 30 bright talents from around the world to present the best that they...
WatchHere’s a clip I took from Maroon 5’s acoustic performance of ‘She Will Be Loved’ during their concert last night. Though I tend to shy away from arena shows in favor of small intimate venues (or large weekend-long summer festivals on the other end of the spectrum), I was genuinely impressed by the performance the band put on last night. They had great lighting and...

Fete Chicago - April 4-7, 2013
Megan tipped me off to Fete last month. While the first Fete night market took place this past December, the Spring 2013 lineup includes a “weekend-long festival of Chicago’s dynamic food and design cultures, featuring a night market, talks, tastings, and tours”. It’s organized by the gals behind Dose Market, so you know it will be fun. While some events have already...

strikes my fancy
I’m currently loving these playful West Elm dahlia paper flowers, Further hand soap + a Threshold for Target oil can soap pump, this J.Crew bangle, West Elm’s gold flatware, a subtly neon dress by Tibi, and the sunny upgrade my iphone has in store with this Kate Spade Saturday case
Kate Spade Saturday is right about this one. Especially this Saturday - I’m flying to Colorado for a full week of vacation with my family! Cue the snow, beautiful mountain views, early morning yoga classes taught by my sister Andrea, mornings runs down the freshly groomed slopes, leisurely lunches at high altitude, apes ski sessions at the base of the mountain, relaxing home-cooked family...
