Sunday Funday at Beadniks

Last week I attended a jewelry making party at Beadniks, 1937 West Division St.  My wonderfully talented, jewelry-making friend, Emily invited a few of our coworkers and myself to get creative at this Wicker Park jewelry shop.  We enjoyed champagne, pizza, and cupcakes (thanks Ashley!) while making our own original pieces!

With assistance from the amazing Beadniks staff, I made a necklace and a pair of earrings!  I learned a lot about making jewelry and enjoyed spending quality time with friends that I don't usually see outside of work.  We are already making plans for another jewelry making party soon!

honeyhoney at Subterranean

Some of my favorite venues for live music in the city are the smallest.  Subterranean in Wicker Park fits the bill with an intimate stage and floor.  Also a plus, they serve PBR tall boys!  Major bonus points.

My bestie Karley and I found ourselves at the Subterranean this past Wednesday for an amazing lineup of folky bands.  The headliners, honeyhoney were the main reason I was there, but as usual, I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome the openers were!

Sanctified Grumblers and Ryan Joseph Anderson started off the show, each contributing their own folk-infused sounds.  I had never seen honeyhoney perform live, but I fell in love with their intoxicating combination of folk-rock meets classic folk sound first on Spotify.   I was thrilled that they played my favorite song, Thin Line.  Definitely check them out if you get a chance!

I have a few more concerts coming up that I am excited about before summer is over, so keep an eye out here for highlights!

A Festive Weekend: An Outfit Highlight

It's Pitchfork weekend!  I may not be going to the festival, but I still did plenty of celebrating.  I spent my Thursday evening at Free People in Wicker Park with Solo Salon for a braid bar event.  It was quite a hit!  There were tons of festive styles, giveaways and of course great shopping!  

On Friday, Karley and I did a bit of shopping then went out to dinner to The Bristol in Bucktown.  It was quite delicious, a little out of my usual price range, but fun for a special night out!  Before dinner, we found some time for a quick photo shoot.

Today was braid bar round two at Moon Voyage in Wicker Park.  It was a beautiful day for the festival, so there were plenty of heads to be braided and people to meet!  All-in-all it's been a great weekend, full of festivities!  I hope everyone who partied it up at Pitchfork had some fun for me too!

 

Much Love
