Brand Collaborations

My oh my stores are collaborating like crazy!  Honestly, I haven't heard of many of the high end brand names until they collaborated with these other stores because I'm not much of a high end shopper.

 *Prabal Gurung for Target (so cute!)
I went 4 days after it opened so it was pretty picked over, but I didn't get anything.
*Duro Olowu for J.C. Penney this looks adorable too.
           actually J.C. Penney has a lot coming up L'Amour Nanette Lepore & more & more
*Milly for Banana Republic - that dress!!!  (I cannot afford Banana Republic so I don't have to worry about this one.)
*Derek Lam for Kohl's
*Christian Siriano for Payless
*Keds with Madewell
           Taylor Swift
           Kate Spade

 Seriously the list goes on and on and on....

 I've been loving the Keds trend for over a year now so I'm excited to see all these different styles of Keds.  Considering the knock off ones I have were $6, I'm not quite sure I'll be splurging on the $50 ones, but I will admire them.  (Yes, the bottom of my shoes are peeling away. $6 for a year+?  I'm ok with it.)
If I was splurging I might go for these or these, but I'm not.  (I couldn't even allow myself to really look at all the options or I knew I'd fall in love.  These jumped out at me.)
P.S. Keds even created a clothing line!

 I wonder why all the collaborations all the sudden.  I do not know, but I feel like Target started the trend a couple years ago.

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

(details to follow) but as far as today goes...
