dinner – where Julia and Paul Child sit with several of their friends wearing red hearts pinned to their clothing.</p>  <p>One of the best parts of the movie is the way in which it introduced the inner-workings of their passionate marriage.&#160; I had read before about how Child secretly grieved over not being able to have a child, but I didn’t know how much loving the relationship was that she had with her husband, how supportive he was of her career, and how much they celebrated their love.&#160; Just look at this great Valentine’s card that the couple created!</p>  <p><a

<p>Until I met the Boy, I didn’t get particularly excited about Valentine’s Day.&#160; I remember making mailboxes throughout grade school and everyone in the classroom would drop a card on it.&#160; In junior high, I remember doing secret valentine’s and that was fun and in high school it was a big deal to get a bouquet from the corner bodega.&#160; I’ve always celebrated Valentine’s Day but until I met the Boy, I never really cared.&#160; I deeply identified with the dinner scene in <em>Julie and Julia </em>as I think a lot of women did – when you are that passionate about someone, it’s wonderful to take a day to celebrate it, and even better when you can get your friends around a table to celebrate love with you.</p>  <p><a

next time, I would pair the dress with a pair or sparkly gold heels - if there is a next time, that is!</p>  <p>When I saw this dress, I had to have it.&#160; I love silk, I love yellow-gold, and I love the shape.&#160; However, the season was ending, and it was a few sizes too big.&#160;&#160; I bought it anyway hoping it wouldn’t be too noticeable.&#160;&#160; Now that the summer is approaching, the dress hangs in my closet because I am swimming in it.&#160; Belting it would ruin the rectangular shape and I don’t love over accessorizing dresses anyway.&#160; I won’t let it go however and if anyone has suggestions for Chicago tailors who you trust with alterations, I would appreciate a note.</p>  <p>I avoid wearing red or pink on Valentine’s day and am never a fan of the little black dress for anything other than business events – but I loved the vibrant yellow gold color of this dress to celebrate what was a great day.</p>  <p>Hopefully, one day I can have my friends around a table with red hearts pinned to their shirts – the Boy might enjoy that too!</p>','VALENTINE’S DAY 2009: XANADU AND A YELLOW-GOLD

most of the population continues towards college instead of a factory job or the military as used to be the case, that romanticizing high-school and high-school rituals seems silly.&#160; I agree with him but we both also agree that a dress changes everything.</p>  <p><a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/13prom_ca0popup4.jpg\"><img title=\"13prom_CA0-popup\"

York Times}</p>  <p>The New York Times saw a new <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/13/fashion/13prom.html\">trend</a> and jumped on it like a pack of hungry wolves.&#160; Apparently, young girls are using facebook and using groups called <em>Don’t Steal My Prom Dress 2010</em> and posting pictures of their dresses – to prevent another student from buying the same one.&#160; When I first read the article, I immediately thought – wow, that’s hella creative.&#160; The lovely senior, Collete Dong, had her dress actively filched by another girl – a junior to boot!&#160;&#160;&#160; I thought Collete’s reaction was classy – and she won, since she got her picture in the Times.</p>  <p>My only disagreement with the reasoning behind this concept was the idea that you couldn’t look “original and pretty,” if someone else were wearing your dress.&#160; It’s true – it’s no fun if another girl has your dress, but when I was in high-school four girls came in a <em>Titanic </em>themed dress (Kate Winslet’s famous red and black number).&#160; They each wore different shoes, did creative things with their hair and one I believe, made her date dress up in a nautical theme, which I thought was super.&#160; I don’t think it’s the end of the world if someone shows up in the same dress because it’s too be expected if you are shopping at a normal store and not having your mother or a designer sew you a dress.&#160; I wore a Jessica McClintock ballgown bought at Macy’s – I knew there was a great chance someone else had the same idea.&#160; I was lucky, by the time I graduated, the trend was moving away from ball-gowns to the long slim dresses and straightened long hair that are the norm now.&#160; Since I wanted the full ball gown look, I was one of only two other people who wore ball gowns, wore full length gloves, and got up-dos.&#160; No one stole my dress.</p>  <p>If such a group existed, I would probably not have used it.&#160; I love dresses – I love the thrill of seeing the bride appear at the church doors, and I remember warmly the different dresses my classmates wore at prom.&#160; However, this is now the state of the {prom} dress.&#160; I can’t imagine what my daughter will want and can’t wait to see it one day!</p>','THE STATE OF THE {PROM} DRESS','','publish','open','open','','the-state-of-the-prom-dress','','','2010-05-31 02:15:10','2010-05-31

href=\"http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/genWCM-10551-10051-en-/Coach_US/StaticPage/myny\">MYNY</a> campaign where bloggers were invited to feature Coach products on their sites.&#160; </p>  <p>My purse poison is&#160; <a href=\"http://www.dooney.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=12681\">Dooney and Burke</a> so I decided to create a my own campaign called MY CHICAGO to capture the wonderful energy of this city.&#160; I got this gorgeous cabernet colored bag as a gift last year and I adore the color.&#160; It’s perfect for the winter but even sweeter in the springtime.&#160; The weather was nearly perfect this weekend and I decided to brighten things up with summertime skirt, my bag and a bright blue tank top.&#160; I picked up these shades at a night market in Hong Kong and they are perfect – nothing gets past them and that helps in the <em>windy city!</em>&#160;</p>  <p>These pictures are outside the State Street library and the central branch of Chicago Public Library.&#160; There are gorgeous dragons on top and the structure is as recognizable to this city as the lions in from of the NYPL were when I was growing up in NYC.</p>  <p>MYCHICAGO is full of bright spring weather and brilliant architecture.</p>','YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE','','publish','open','open','','you-are-my-sunshine','','','2010-06-07 17:34:06','2010-06-07

I love their soft rose-colored skin and they are ballet like in their movements. &#160;Those soft wrinkles are so sweet! &#160;They are hairless but have a soft down on their skin so instead of fur - kids, I call them fuzz - kids. &#160;More pictures to come! &#160;<br />&#160;</p><p>&#160;<br />&#160;&#160;</p><br />&#160;','Part I:  SUPER BOWL

What need has true beauty of anything further? Surely none; any more than law, or truth, or kindness, or modesty. Is any of these embellished by praise, or spoiled by censure?

number  For the winter, I always wore it with a men’s belt slung low on the hips but as Spring approaches I am just wearing it with the intention of highlighting the collar.\n\nThe Boy returned late from a business trip and I’m working on a new paper but there’s always time for date night!  We wanted something fun and light-hearted so we decided on <em>The Counter</em>, a California-based chain.\n\nWe’ve been dying for a movie date and I suggested <em><a href=\"http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/thegirlwiththedragontattoo/\">The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo</a>. </em>It was stunning.  I rarely miss when I guess the ending (I think all English majors can relate) but I couldn\'t even hazard a guess while watching this film.  There’s some brutal violence in the film but the heroine keeps that perfect balance of aggression and softness until the end.  I just finished the second book in the series <em><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Who-Played-Fire/dp/0307269981\">The Girl Who Played with Fire</a></em> and can\'t wait for the third and final <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Who-Kicked-Hornets-Nest/dp/030726999X/ref=pd_sim_b_2\">book</a>!\n\nYou can watch the

Boy will be giving up cheese and I will be giving up eating/drinking in my study (inspired by a scary soda spill incident).  All my meals will be at our lovely dining table (at least when I am home).\n\nTogether, we will be working on waking up as soon as our alarm rings (no more snooze button).  I\'m excited because little changes in my routine seem to unleash an avalanche of willpower-goodness into other areas of my life.  And I\'ll finally get to enjoy some of the lovely table cloths from my mother like the red and white one below.\n\nWill you be adoption any resolutions

 There\'s no better feeling than shutting the door behind you to your own private study and knowing that whenever you want to take a break and smell your flowers from Valentine\'s Day or take a break for a run at the gym, you can do so.  I am obsessed with the <a href=\"http://dailyroutines.typepad.com/\">daily routines</a> and private workspaces that people employ.  This intimate photograph by Ethan Hill accompanied this sad and beautifully written <a href=\"http://www.esquire.com/features/roger-ebert-0310\">article </a>by Chris Jones for <em>GQ. </em>\n\nI had no idea that Roger Ebert had cancer nor that he was undergoing surgery.  I once saw him at a lecture he was doing in the loop (the South Loop is the name of a neighborhood in Chicago and I believe this was at the Graham School) but I was too afraid to speak to him.   He smiled at me as he walked by where I was hiding in the back of the auditorium and I remember being so happy about this.\n\n<a

illness but it highlights two beautiful things:  the love between he and his wife Chaz and this wonderful <a href=\"http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/\">blog </a>that he writes.  The article really takes the tone that Ebert is trapped in the past while the blog provides an outlet into an Ebert that we have never seen before.  For me, the article shows a man who is still surrounded by his passion:  movies, his ability with words, and a cultural legacy that is enviable.\n\nTwo beautiful pieces of prose highlighted in the article:\n\n<em>On Death and Memories:</em>\n\n<em>I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear,</em> he writes in a journal entry titled \"Go Gently into That Good Night.\" <em>I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can\'t say it wasn\'t interesting. My lifetime\'s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.</em>\n\n<em>On Happiness:</em>\n\n<em>I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn\'t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.</em>\n\n<em> </em>\n\n<em><span style=\"font-style:normal;\">I wish I had the courage to have said hello to him that day I met him.</span></em>\n\n<em><span style=\"font-style:normal;\">Ebert <a href=\"http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/02/roger_eberts_last_words_cont.html\">responded </a>to the article written about him in </span><span style=\"font-style:normal;\">Esquire.  <span style=\"font-style:normal;\">Again, I love the feeling that we are getting the inside look at another relationship on par with Alice and Calvin Trillin and that we have blogs so he can write so candidly about everything that jumps into his mind. </span></span></em>','EBERT:  &quot;I THINK I AM MUSING MY

lofty goal?  For 2010, I decided to up my mileage and walk, run, row, or swim 2010 miles.  Since I completed 1000 miles in 2009 (inspired by this awesome <a href=\"http://fittingbackin.blogspot.com/\">girl</a>), I decided I wanted a bigger and more diversified mark since I walked and ran all 1000 miles last year.  This year I am adding swimming to the mix.  We are trying to convince our awesome <a href=\"http://www.amli.com/\">building</a> to get a rowing machine for the gym so I can relive my awesome five minutes on the Lehigh University crew team.   This is also the year that the Boyfriend is convinced he will teach me how to swim a mile and ride a bike.  Yes, I don’t know how to bike, swim, or drive a car.  I’m going to focus on the bike and the car later but I might be starting swimming lessons soon!\n\nThe 2010 Miles in 2010 project came about before I learned that the Boyfriend is running the Chicago marathon in October.  I’m super and excited about this and have tried to join him by running smaller races this summer.  We will be <strong>TEAM BEARS</strong> when we run our first race together, the Race for the Lincoln Park Zoo in June.  This humble 5K will be a breeze for him since he runs 5-6 miles daily already but for me it will be something fun and new.\n\nSo why 2010 Miles in 2010 on the <em>I Only Wear Dresses</em> blog?  For the running skirts of course!  I usually wear crops or shorts when working out but I’ve wanted cute running skirts like the kind used during cheerleading days.  Enter my newest obsession:  <a href=\"http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/stella/content/default.asp?strCountry_adidascom=us\">Stella McCartney</a> for Adidas.  I have a soft spot for Adidas since they outfitted our entire grade school when I was younger but Stella McCartney’s designs are fun and oh so cute.  And since I think everything in the world should be elegant and lovely, I decided to upgrade my workout gear to these lovely pieces while I complete 210 miles this month.\n\n<a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/padidas16486511dt.jpg\"><img

Tiles for a restoration.</p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.</p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after the Boy took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.</p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.</p>  <p><strong>OUR ITINERARY:&#160; We saw Greece in three parts.&#160; In part 1, the Boy and I were alone and went through Nafplion, Corinth, Epidavros, Sparta and Mystras.&#160; The second part of the trip took us through Athens to pick up his acquaintance, and then Delphi, Meteora and Thessaloniki.&#160; And the last part of the trip took us to Athens and Crete.</strong></p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.</p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.</p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.</p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan.</p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.</p>  <p>It’s also fun to have a signature item – the Boy loves a silly hat and I think a scarf is a nice touch.&#160; You will always look at that item and think of your wonderful holiday.</p>','GRECIAN HOLIDAY: NAFPLION','','publish','open','open','','grecian-holiday-naupflion','','','2010-05-31 02:08:34','2010-05-31 07:08:34','',0,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/2010/05/grecian-holiday-naupflion/',0,'post','',0),(1740,1,'2010-05-27 03:22:13','2010-05-27 08:22:13','<p><a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Kellykellyripa157628011001386.jpg\"><img title=\"Kelly-kelly-ripa-1576280-1100-1386\" style=\"border-right: 0px;

Tiles for a restoration.&#160; </p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.&#160; </p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after he took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.&#160; </p>  <p>We saw Greece in three parts.&#160; In part 1, the Boy and I were alone and went through Nafplion, Corinth, Epidavros, Sparta and Mystras.&#160; The second part of the trip took us through Athens to pick up his acquaintance, and then Delphi and Thessaloniki.&#160; And the last part of the trip took us to Athens and Crete.&#160; </p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.&#160; </p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.&#160; </p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.&#160; </p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.&#160; </p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan. </p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.&#160;

Tiles for a restoration.&#160; </p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.&#160; </p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after he took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.&#160; </p>  <p>We saw Greece in three parts.&#160; In part 1, the Boy and I were alone and went through Nafplion, Corinth, Epidavros, Sparta and Mystras.&#160; The second part of the trip took us through Athens to pick up his acquaintance, and then Delphi and Thessaloniki.&#160; And the last part of the trip took us to Athens and Crete.&#160; </p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.&#160; </p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.&#160; </p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.&#160; </p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.&#160; </p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan. </p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.&#160;

Tiles for a restoration.&#160; </p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.&#160; </p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after he took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.&#160; </p>  <p>We saw Greece in three parts.&#160; In part 1, the Boy and I were alone and went through Nafplion, Corinth, Epidavros, Sparta and Mystras.&#160; The second part of the trip took us through Athens to pick up his acquaintance, and then Delphi and Thessaloniki.&#160; And the last part of the trip took us to Athens and Crete.&#160; </p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.&#160; </p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.&#160; </p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.&#160; </p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.&#160; </p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan. </p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.&#160; </p>  <p>It’s also fun to have a signature item – the Boy loves a silly hat and I think a scarf is a nice touch.&#160; You will always look at that item and think of your wonderful holiday.&#160; </p>','GRECIAN HOLIDAY:  NAFPLION','','inherit','open','open','','1693-revision-3','','','2010-05-22 04:41:38','2010-05-22 09:41:38','',1693,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/2010/05/1693-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(1735,1,'2010-05-27 03:22:07','2010-05-27 08:22:07','','Kellykellyripa157628011001386.jpg','','inherit','open','open','','kellykellyripa157628011001386-jpg','','','2010-05-27 03:22:07','2010-05-27 08:22:07','',1739,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Kellykellyripa157628011001386.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1736,1,'2010-05-27 03:22:09','2010-05-27 08:22:09','','Kellykellyripa157628011001386_thumb.jpg','','inherit','open','open','','kellykellyripa157628011001386_thumb-jpg','','','2010-05-27 03:22:09','2010-05-27 08:22:09','',1739,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Kellykellyripa157628011001386_thumb.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1737,1,'2010-05-27 03:22:11','2010-05-27 08:22:11','','Kellykellyripa157628114001100.jpg','','inherit','open','open','','kellykellyripa157628114001100-jpg','','','2010-05-27 03:22:11','2010-05-27 08:22:11','',1739,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Kellykellyripa157628114001100.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1738,1,'2010-05-27 03:22:12','2010-05-27 08:22:12','','Kellykellyripa157628114001100_thumb.jpg','','inherit','open','open','','kellykellyripa157628114001100_thumb-jpg','','','2010-05-27 03:22:12','2010-05-27 08:22:12','',1739,'http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Kellykellyripa157628114001100_thumb.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1700,1,'2010-05-23 14:55:57','2010-05-23 19:55:57','<p><a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0904DoortoKapodistrias.jpg\"><img title=\"IMG_0904 Door to Kapodistrias\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px;

been so glad to have to wake up so early and catch the sunset over the peninsula as we walked down the hill.&#160;&#160; </p>  <p><a

pictures I took as we were leaving for our drive to Athens.&#160; Tiles for a restoration.&#160; </p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.&#160; </p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after he took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.&#160; </p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.&#160; </p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.&#160; </p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.&#160; </p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.&#160; </p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan. </p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.&#160; </p>  <p>It’s also fun to have a signature item – the Boy loves a silly hat and I think a scarf is a nice touch.&#160; You will always look at that item and think of your wonderful holiday.&#160; </p>','GRECIAN HOLIDAY: NAFPLION','','inherit','open','open','','1693-revision-4','','','2010-05-23

Most definitely!  I plan on having some super long cardio days which coincide with the Boy\'s marathon training so I can give myself a rest day during the week but I am determined to finish 600 or more miles in the coming month.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><strong>\n</strong></span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

romantic trip to Chicago’s newest hotel, the <a href=\"http://www.elysianhotels.com/#/home/info\">Elysian</a>.&#160; If Coco Chanel designed a luxury hotel, it would look like this.&#160; The designer, <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Lagrange\">Lucien Lagrange</a>, will hopefully design my home some day.&#160; (A girl can dream, right?)</p>  <p>The hotel defied all my expectations and then some by doing what no Peninsula, Sheraton, St. Regis, Westin, or W Hotel can never do – the Elysian doesn’t come across as a hotel.&#160; In fact, it felt like we were staying at the upscale city of of a very well-to-do person.&#160;&#160; The Elysian is not only one of the best hotels in Chicago, but will rival some of the best hotels in the U.S.&#160; And I didn’t even get to go to the spa!</p>  <p><a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_5893.jpg\"><img title=\"IMG_5893\" style=\"display:inline;border-width:0;\" height=\"779\"

because the Boy had worn his yellow tie to work and because of the beautiful color palate in the Elysian’s rooms.&#160; I don’t know how much these pictures capture the color but it was the most perfect grey.&#160; I’m not a fan of color on the walls and usually prefer white but this was the first time I fell in love with the idea of painting a house.</p>  <p>The grey and silver tones alongside the sparkle, dark wood and metal in the furniture, rugs, and decor seem perfect for an event – versus 5-star hotels that have decided to go with purple rugs or other bright colors.</p>

from her last trip to India.  Since I was wearing my gold shoes I decided to bring the tone up a little higher.  We Indian people love our little elephants.\n\n<a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_60401.jpg\"><img style=\"display:inline;border-width:0;\" title=\"IMG_6040\"

like them but prefer Italian and French ones.\n\n<a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_60391.jpg\"><img style=\"display:inline;border-width:0;\" title=\"IMG_6039\"

and the aqua-marine shirt was a gift and a nod to St. Patrick’s Day.\n\n<a href=\"http://ionlyweardresses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_60272.jpg\"><img style=\"display:inline;border:0;\"

was a perfect St. Patrick’s Day and a perfect way to end the opera season.  Because of our trip to China we missed all of the autumn and winter performances (a nice trade-off though!) but we got to enjoy <em>The Marriage of Figaro </em>(charmingly hysterical and beautifully staged)<em> </em>and <em>Tosca (</em>nice, not a favorite).\n\n<a

What need has true beauty of anything further? Surely none; any more than law, or truth, or kindness, or modesty. Is any of these embellished by praise, or spoiled by censure?

first swimming lesson this week.&#160; I was petrified.&#160; I tried finding ways to talk myself out of it.&#160; But the Boy and I have a huge motivation:&#160; we are going to South America in the fall.&#160; See, the Boy and I love to travel.&#160; It is our goal to see every country in the world together.&#160; The Boy really wanted a trip to South America and so did I.&#160; One small problem:&#160; I don’t know how to swim.&#160; I don’t mind lounging in a pool on a float – but putting my head under water.&#160; No,&#160; Breathing under water.&#160; Heck no.</font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"><img title=\"IMG_0382\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

wore a safari-inspired outfit to the lesson.&#160; I’m already planning my packing list for the trip – and this outfit will most certainly be accompanying me.&#160; I’m stretching my calves before my lesson.&#160;&#160; </font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\">I have to know how to swim so I can swim with sea turtles and enjoy the water with the Boy.&#160; So I kept telling myself, just think of the sea turtles.</font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"><img title=\"IMG_0383\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto;

<p><font size=\"2\">I love the cargo colored skirt with the olive green belted shirt.&#160; And although my mother is fainting, I love wearing this shirt when it hasn’t been pressed.&#160; It looks so

<p><font size=\"2\">The lesson went really well.&#160; I learned to be comfortable completely submerged in the water.&#160; I learned to take air into my lungs, go under, breathe out, re-emerge, and sink again.&#160; It was scary, exhilarating, and so fun to train my body to do something new.&#160; I have a very patient and sweet coach.&#160; </font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"><img title=\"IMG_0392\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px\"

we’ve travelled internationally almost every year we’ve dated.&#160; This year we’ll be going with the Boy’s parents – I was pretty nervous about this at first, but I’m super psyched now that I’ve hung out with them more!&#160; The Boy gets his easy-going ways from his mom – and his smile from his dad.&#160;&#160; And they are spoiling us on this trip.&#160;&#160;&#160; So I definitely don’t want to be the only person lingering on the boat while everyone is in the water!</font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\">Stay tuned for more swimming fun – I can’t wait to tell you when I learn how to float!</font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"></font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"></font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\">&#160;</font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"></font></p>  <p><font size=\"2\"></font></p>  <p><font

of the clothes.&#160; And if the clothes are good enough, I’ll watch a show long after it should have stopped airing – for example, Desperate Housewives.&#160; I study and am obsessed with American history but all good English majors turned American history graduate students have spent countless hours in literature classes with titles that begin with the words “Literature of” and ends with “Greco-Roman,” “Medieval,” “Renaissance,” “Edwardian,” “English Reformation,” “Tudor Era,” “Victorian England” or my favorite, “the post-modern world”.&#160; I am awed by the literary tradition and history but I stay for the fashion.</p>  <p>So this brings me to my recent obsession, <em>The Tudors</em>.&#160; I tried to watch it before but didn’t like it.&#160; But I tried again.&#160; <em>The Tudors</em> is extremely entertaining and if you want to sit back and feel superior over all the historical inaccuracies, you should go away because they are everywhere.&#160; If you love over the top clothes, the show is full of large, lush and lovely costuming.&#160; Every episode will make you want to bury your face in crushed velvet and that seems to be part of the charm.&#160; All the gorgeous designs I saw or read about in my early lit and early history classes have been painstakingly reincarnated or reinterpreted.&#160; And that’s the kicker – there are very few ways in which costuming like this can be recreated in our modern day outfits.&#160; I mean, I try to wear a crown around the house and order the Boy around but he doesn’t like that and reacts much as Henry VIII would have also reacted.&#160;&#160; So as I put on another shirtwaist dress inspired by a 50’s Montgomery Ward catalog, I going to escape into these pictures and imagine what it would feel like to wrapped in this much lace and embroidery.</p>  <p>Does anyone know if there are plans to make a costume exhibition of the show’s creations after it wraps up this season?</p>  <p><a

pictures I took as we were leaving for our drive to Athens.&#160; Tiles for a restoration.&#160; </p>  <p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>  <p>One of my goals is to see the whole world – with the Boy at my side.&#160; I’m a grumpy traveler.&#160; I sometimes don’t play well with others.&#160; I’m high maintenance.&#160; I don’t like to lose control over the situation and I <em>hate </em>being lost.&#160; Slowly but surely, the Boy has turned all these habits around – namely because of his unusual talent for reading maps.&#160; Seriously, I’ve seen locals look to him for directions.&#160; That and his patience too:)&#160;&#160; I still have a long ways to go before I become the ideal travel mate but nothing motivates me more than the possibility that I will see everything there is to see with my most favorite person.&#160; </p>  <p>Our first international trip together was to Greece after he took the bar exam.&#160; This was a huge sacrifice on his part since he had already been to the country pre-Olympics, but he was excited about seeing new places and re-experiencing old ones.&#160; The trip had its stressors since we did take a third party along (think <em>You, Me and Dupree</em>)– but it’s always funny when I am travelling and especially after.&#160; None of the bad stuff ever matters – really truly.&#160; There will always be something – but nothing ever takes away from the romantic memories, the relaxing days, and the big smiles that never seem to stop.&#160; </p>  <p>Western Greece is BREATHTAKING.&#160; It is the ULTIMATE for a romantic vacation – different from the islands which can be overly touristy (at least Crete).&#160; Some of my best memories were made in Nafplion.&#160; </p>  <p><strong>OUR ITINERARY:&#160; We saw Greece in three parts.&#160; In part 1, the Boy and I were alone and went through Nafplion, Corinth, Epidavros, Sparta and Mystras.&#160; The second part of the trip took us through Athens to pick up his acquaintance, and then Delphi, Meteora and Thessaloniki.&#160; And the last part of the trip took us to Athens and Crete.</strong>&#160; </p>  <p>Nafplion or Nauplion is a quaint seaport town in the Pelonnese (this is not out of the guidebook or anything).&#160; Cars and other motorized vehicles are not allowed in the town making it pristine and even more beautiful than most villages.&#160; Nafplion used to be the first capital of modern Greece in the 1800’s and today it is best described as the Hamptons for the Greeks.&#160; What was remarkable about this little hideaway spot was that all the tourism consisted only Greek citizens!&#160; We were lucky to read about this town in a book and knew that it was the perfect stop between Sparta and Corinth and we were not disappointed.&#160;&#160; The architecture in the village is lovely and in an effort to preserve the older buildings the government has subsidized families who want to open quaint little bed and breakfasts.&#160; The places we stayed at had five star amenities but had the distinct look we missed once you check into the Intercontinental in Athens.&#160; </p>  <p>The hotels we stayed at were at the highest points of the hill which I also suggest – this will give you the best views of the two beaches, the country-side, the mountains, and the breath-taking sunsets.&#160; </p>  <p>Since this is a style blog, I can’t let you go without talking about the dresses I wore in Greece (and the ones I brought back!)&#160; Greece is hot in August.&#160; I purchased the yellow dress from a small boutique called <a href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wardrobe-chicago\">Wicked Wardrobe</a> with the soaring temperatures in mind.&#160; </p>  <p>I wanted something that could be easily hand-washed repeatedly laundered by hotels, that I could wear on the streets or as a cover-up at the beach and that made a striking bold color statement – since most of the Grecian islands and their coastal towns are full of vibrant colors.&#160; I carried a book bag because the Boy likes to but I would <em>NEVER</em> do that again.&#160; I care less about looking like a tourist than about looking sloppy and book bags are sloppy and in a place as hot as Greece, inefficient.&#160; The dress was deeply cut in the front and back, also giving me the best tan. </p>  <p>It’s worth thinking about what outfits you’ll wear because I’ve learned from experience that wearing the same <em>cute/pretty/elegant/chic/beautiful/makes you happy</em> piece in every photo is better than wearing multiple comfy and schlepy pieces.&#160; The first way to organize your wardrobe is to look at some of the sights you are seeing and think – which one of your favorite colors would look most striking against that background and then brining along a piece that fits the criteria of easily washable and simply chic.&#160; </p>  <p>It’s also fun to have a signature item – the Boy loves a silly hat and I think a scarf is a nice touch.&#160; You will always look at that item and think of your wonderful holiday.&#160; </p>','GRECIAN HOLIDAY: NAFPLION','','inherit','open','open','','1693-revision-5','','','2010-05-23

href=\"http://www.lulus.com/\">Lulu</a>?  Well if you don’t you should.  On Thursdays, I like to feature a designer, retailer or brand that I am obsessed with and this week’s pick is <em>Lulu’s. </em>\r\n\r\nI discovered Lulu’s because I was tired of looking at online stores with “vintage appeal” – I wanted edgy and fun dresses and especially ones that did the most with the cut-out trend.  Enter the mother-daughter run Lulu’s and these fabulous finds!  Expect to see many of these dresses featured on my blog in the coming year.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
