This Chicago Girl

This Chicago Girl Went To Market: I have been on the hunt for a grocery tote bag that's trendy and functional. This is it. TT Collections

This Chicago Girl Stayed Home: I need new bedding, desperately. This set from Overstock.com just might make the cut.

This Chicago Girl Went To: Nordstrom Rack gets a new shipment in on tomorrow. It's too early for any decent Spring sales, but now is a good time to scope out what you want to buy.

Got a Beef with TCG? Let's settle it on Mr. Beef Blvd.

The Boy Short Of It

Chi-Town artist Sharon Parmet designed this illustration for TCG blog. And boy oh boy, it doesn't come short.

Set To Swing

Click For Chicago Culture

Goldstar is an online email service that posts events at half price.

I found this 4-session swing class for $30. They even give user ratings so you can decide whether to spend half price or not at all. That's not too shabby. I'm paying $50 for a 4-session salsa class right now.

Modern Art Skating

Come February, you'll have an excuse for falling at the Millenium Park ice rink.

"I'm seriously a good skater, I was just looking at the art."

Grab your skates, your man or your girls and marvel at "The Museum of Modern Ice" installation. The colored ice wall installation, "Paintings Below Zero," will be 95 x 12 feet of frozen fierceness.

For now, I'll be dancing away the below-zero blues at salsa lessons.
