Too Hip To Sway?

I love the rock'n'roll lifestyle, the hipster ways, and the look and attitude they carry. I have always considered myself more "downtown' than "uptown." But after Sunday night, I was left with a huge question mark over my rocker chic persona.

Sunday night, a friend and I trot downtown to Sway. I am rocking my new silk cargo pants, which I love and ready for the night ahead. We enter and Sway is dark and crowded with Smiths|Morissey taking over the speakers. Everyone is having a great time, dancing, singing, dancing, singing and... smoking. So really, nothing is terribly wrong except for the fact that I have silk pants on.

The entire night, I only had two thoughts that occupied 90% of my mind, 1) "I swear, if someone burns a hole in my pants I will be so mad! 2) Wait, how are they smoking inside?" This kept me from dancing a few dances with some fellas and lead me to this question, "Am I too hip to sway?"

Haven't come up with an answer but I'm hoping, I'm not.

Sorry for the lack of posts! Been on a mini hiatus- I'm blaming the crazy fickle weather we're having here in NYC. * And I was away for awhile. After my runaway to Paris- I made a visit home to Chicago and then... you'll never believe it, went into the country. Like country grammar country- Door County, WI. Where? Exactly.

I have to admit, it was very nice, serene, breathtaking sunsets and best of all, spent quality time with my family. Haven't been on a family vacation in a while. We ( my sister and I) managed to pack a huge tote bag each for a night's stay and got made fun of by my parents who, shared a small tote. Ha. And, with that- here's to Chatada being back.

Nice Kicks

I'm kicking myself in the butt for not getting out to Bloomingdale's for the KSwiss+ Nylon Guys event hosted by none other than Mr. Ed Westwick aka Chuck Bass.

I don't even wear sneakers but would've totally bought a pair of KSwiss just to meet him. ha. You know you would too, wouldn't you?

1 Week Jet Lag?

Is this even possible? I'm sure it's not but I like to think in my case that it is. I'm still "sick" and in a post Paris funk.

Parisian Ways

I'm back from Paris and really missing it! It feels like a dream and I cannot wait to go back!
It was the perfect getaway and exactly what I needed.
