WHATS in your bag WEDNESDAY

spin pins are key

they are the best thing in the world to me right now

because they hold my hair up all day with

zero damage

i'm addicted to lindt milk chocolate

i always have dry roasted salted almonds 

i take all my bracelets and watches off at some point

eye drops are great in the morning after coffee

because my eyes are usually red and 

they can also be used on red skin 

i've loved rotho since high school

they are intense i caution you against using them while driving

notebooks are a staple 

i love moleskine

i love this rubber techno marine i got in eighth grade 

black sunglasses are always useful

the strobe flashes at work have been driving me nuts lately

these dior homme do the trick

theres some mac lip erase in there

along with bobbi brown soothing balm

thats amazing for lips or hands cuticles everything

altoids duh

i got this joe malone at christmas 

it's some special blend and i love it

this is another scent from barneys thats really light

when mixed with the joe malone i think it smells

like laundry detergent (one of my favorite smells)

brown lighters are my favorite 

shiseido makes this awesome lip balm with SPF that lasts forever

harry of course

inkind hand cream from dominicks

smells great and has a dry powdery finish

not greasy at all

winston

chanel nail polish

sofia matches

iphone

mirror

parking ticket

i love this bottega bag so much

nick got it for me on supersale at barneys

i wanted it really bad and it was super expensive 

he found out it was like 70% off and made them stay open late

so i could get it before someone else did

the shape is so bad ass

i've never seen another one in this color 

i've never seen another purse this color in general

ignore that this has anything to do with lana del rey

chicago may not be a fashion city 

but it's 

definitely 

a retail city

one of my favorite things about being here is that you can watch stores evolve and grow

from hermes moving out of a narrow store on oak 

to the old barneys 

which had opened up because of

barneys move across the street to a six story mega department store

and ikram's move from rush street to their new beautiful and enormous space on huron

now a new vera wang

one of my favorite stories is that of sofia

formerly sofia vintage discretely located on clark and division in an office building

specializing in high end vintage pieces 

it was a secret spot for those in the know 

now a year after their move to their new oak street location

sofia

is featuring the coolest young brands like

wildfox UNIF stylestalker house of harlow one teaspoon Luv AJ halston heritage 

it has become one of my favorite spots to pop in just to say hi

i love the girls that work there and the casual friendly atmosphere they have created

it's such a great vibe

i wanted this UNIF sweater back in fall in black but ended up getting it for annie

there was an awesome UNIF skirt too i missed

some things are better that way because today 

i ended up getting the sweater in orange which is a huge departure from my norm

and then i found this stylestalker skirt and 

it looked just right over the jeans i had on

it's so bad when what you're wearing matches everything you try on

isn't it?

steven alan is the shit

his plaid shirts are like butter i've had this one for years and

i love everything about it 

it's like gauze

these supra shoes i got in colorado visiting annie at school

4 years ago 

i think they were like 40$ and they have more than withstood 

the test of time

i added a screw i found on the ground to them not long ago

i love it
