Salma Hayek reveals her “Favorite Things” in the newest issue of Lucky and dishes about sister-in-law, Daniela Villegas, and her beautiful line of baubles.
Crafted from unique materials (porcupine quills and feathers) and featuring one of a kind designs, Villegas is making a name for herself in the fashion world.
I am loving UK based Anorak, that specializes in home decor in fun animal prints including birds, rabbits and stags. These whimsical designs in bright colors make great gifts, especially for the “hostess with the mostess”.
My favorites:
Fast cars, fabulous fashions and fine food? What’s not to love! Thanks to Autohaus on Edens along with their elite Ambassador Partners, you can experience the Launch 2012 event: Driving Fashion Forward on Sunday, March 18th, 2012, 5-7:30pm. The event promises an evening of cocktails from Knightsbridge, light bites from Carlos’ new restaurant Nieto’s, and a preview of North Shore Spring fashions from the area’s best boutiques – all in the Mercedes showroom.
I am most looking forward to seeing the designs from eight Columbia University fashion students who will each bring one look from their collection to model in front of a panel of judges. One lucky student will be announced the winner LIVE at the conclusion of the show and will also receive a $5000 scholarship courtesy of Autohaus On Edens to put toward a semester in school or launching their own collection.
I had the honor of speaking with aspiring fashion designer and contestant, Stephanie Gabrys. I just love her design and style!
Melanie Auld Designs is one of my favorite jewelry designers and I am lucky enough to own four of her beautiful necklaces. One of her newest arrivals, the Mini Pave Breast Plate in Antique Silver, is on my birthday wish list. Hoping a certain someone is reading this post and gets the hint. Wink, Wink!

I’ve never given into the whole lovey dovey Valentine’s Day wish wosh, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have my eye on some fun, heart-shaped and love-inspired baubles.

I recently attended the opening of Heritage Bicycles located at 2959 N. Lincoln Ave in Chicago. I was expecting an industrial space filled with racks of bikes, biker boys, helmets and gear. But this was no ordinary bike store. It’s a chic cafe with a Bike retail/repair shop in the back room. All bikes are handmade on site and are available for a test drive.
Heritage also serves Stumptown Coffee, Brooklyn’s P&H Natural Soda, Chicago’s Southport Grocery pastries and small bites and an assortment of teas and hot chocolate. You can’t help but fall in love with the white-washed walls, mirrored accents, chalkboards and Heritage’s artisan-made bikes on display.
Go ahead, make a pit stop at Heritage Bicycles!
