My weekend

One of the many benefits (*snort*) of working retail for my mom is the bi-annual trip to Chicago for gift show, where we stay at a posh hotel downtown, and eat/drink our weight in "free"* food/booze. We also do a fair amount of personal shopping- both at gift show and on Michigan Ave.

Before we get to the loot bit, may I say that if one is ever in Chicago, and desires the best steak EVER, get thee to Bistro 110. Order the steak frites. Mmmmmm.....

As I am attempting to start saving money for the first time in my life, I was operating on a limited budget. However, I managed to acquire some cool-ass shit.

This Beijo Bag-

-A sign from Danielson Designs that says "Showgirl Entrance"

-Set of jars from Midwest Of Cannon Falls that have skulls on the lids (intended for Halloween, but I'm going to use them for everyday)

-Print from Art In Motion of a chandelier with some French words in the background. Because I can't speak French, so I'll let the funky music do the talking..... sorry about that.

-Nars blusher in 'Orgasm'

-Philosophy lippie in 'Melon Daiquiri'

-EP from The Libs for 'What Became Of The Likely Lads'

-The DVD for 'Up The Shambles' by my beloved Babyshambles

-These Chuck Taylors- I got these for 8 bucks at the Gap! (Didn't like the slip-on look, so took a seam ripper to them today and made them into lace-ups)

Believe me, this is positively RESTRAINED from my usual consumer indulgence.

*"free" is in parentheses because my mom drops an awful lot of cash at these places. They should make us chubby and get us drunk.
