"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." - Lao Tzu


I spent my whole last week in an anatomy lab and didn't have an opportunity to dress up. Not being able to dress up = not so happy me. So even though I was trapped (and will be, until I take my exam on Friday afternoon) in my apartment whole day today, I had to dress up to cheer myself up! 


Until next time,

"My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order." - Dolly Parton

Not men, just one man: My Boy! And sometimes, only sometimes, the order changes as well. :p
The Boy and I needed an escape from the academic setting, so we headed toward the city for a change of scene. We decided to check out the Chicago Underground Comedy group at the Beat Kitchen: 5 comedians for 5 dollars! It just can't get better than that. Each one of them were unique in their style and content. One of them was very well versed in politics, who of course was the Boy's favorite. 
While yelpin' places to eat nearby, we came across 90 Miles Cuban Cafe. It had raving reviews, so we had to check it out. Food was delicious, but it was the interior (see it for yourself down below...) of the cafe that I couldn't get enough of. Alright, you got me, I couldn't get enough of the food either, so I will be heading back there as soon as I get some time!
 The cafe was very cozy with cutouts from vintage newspapers on every wall, so I had to take some pictures ...

 
Why doesn't anyone write songs like these anymore?
 I asked the Boy if he would, and he gave me "sure honey" face ... and we all know what that means. :p

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."- Martin Luther King Jr.

Let us take a moment from our busy lives and remember the man who had the courage to stand up for his beliefs and follow through, till his last breath. If he were to be alive today, he would be celebrating his 84th birthday!







Being the die hard romantic I am, I had to look up MLK, Jr. and Correta's love story. Here are few quotes that illustrate their love for each other:
  • Martin on their first date "So you can do something else besides sing? You've got a good mind also. You have everything I ever wanted in a woman. We ought to get married someday."
  • Coretta about meeting Martin, "...he was looking for a wife. I wasn't looking for a husband, but he was a wonderful human being...I still resisted his overtures, but after he persisted, I had to pray about it...I had a dream, and in that dream, I was made to feel that I should allow myself to be open and stop fighting the relationship. That's what I did, and of course the rest is history. "
It seems as if Martin had his mind set on Correta from beginning, but Corresta was hesitant at first. I am glad that she took the chance with him! :) 
  • Martin: "I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where Christian love is a reality."

"What a strange power there is in clothing."- Isaac Bashevis Singer

OTD: Romper and pearls.



Floral Chiffon Romper: local boutique, Blazer: H&M,
Pearls: Target, Heals: Famous Footwear

I am in love with this romper! It is so light (like a petal ... ) and soft that it has become one of the precious items in my wardrobe. Or may be cause I feel like a princess in it ... hence the pearls




The boy seems to have difficulty understanding "wait, let me button up my blazer"! :p




I browsed through various websites and used different search boxes to find another similar romper, but had no success. However, I did find some other styles that I fancy!

Can you tell I adore BCBG Max Azria?!

Editorials Compared

Here are two very unique editorials on flowers - print and scenery; and their influence on fashion!
One is dark, mysterious and bold; while the other is peaceful, fairy tail-ish
Both, very glamorous and exquisite though.


Hothouse Flowers: Print, Fabrics, and Silhouettes Are in Full Bloom
Photographer: Steve Klein








Floral Dreams

Stylist: Phoung My

"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes." - Yves Saint Laurent


... I don't think I need to say anything more; YSL said it all! 



Outfit of the Day!


Linkin' up with Life Is A Runway today!

“Anatomically, the foot cannot respond. And artistically—ugh!” - Salvatore Ferragamo

Hello world! 

I actually got on here to post some pics of my favorite actress come Bollywood fashion-ista, but when I googled Salvatore Ferragamo I came across an interesting piece of information ... 
It was Salvatore Ferragamo who came up with the idea of wedges, platform soles and cage heels. All in an effort to make fashion more comfortable for women. 

I believe that fashion doesn't have to be uncomfortable; I am the girl who you will find wearing flats or doctor prescribed heel size almost all of the time.

  Leave it to this girl to wear something very unusual (in a good way) chic
