This is absolutely the direction that fashion is headed. At least for fall. Check out fashion-ation.net, there is a great post about fashion reflecting society and the woes of pollution and a world in need of help. When we feel so down and every day is a bit more macabre, we tend to dress the part. When bright colors and patterns aren't going to lift your spirits any more its only appropriate to make your clothes an extension of your emotional state. Morose, yes. But, beautiful. Its like Victorian house participants ran into some vampires and created amazingness in the time of a lackluster world.

On another note. Chicago, tonight, tomorrow and the next day. SHOPPING! What to buy says me.

Coworkers, Britt's Pub, and the Market BBQ not a bad combo after all.

My stomach could have done without the jalapenos.
