Sunday Musings
It’s a nice, crisp Autumn day and itching to get outside and enjoy it.Here are some other things I’m enjoying this Sunday:
What I’m Reading: I always like to read the Alinea at Home blog on Sundays.The author, Carol, is cooking her way through Chicago chef, Grant Achatz’s cookbook, which has recipes based on his award-winning restaurant. I love the dedication, determination and explanation of the cooking process from Carol. Plus, the food never fails to look yummy.
I was also checking out Web Designer Depot’s “Most Controversial Magazine Cover’s of All Time“ post. Very interesting covers, indeed.
What I’m Listening To: I’ve been on a big Sia kick lately and I’ve just been listening to all of her music.
What I Like: The S/S 2010 collection from Jil Sander.
And this quote from Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz from The Cut blog:
If you are not already, make sure you are having a great Sunday and enjoying the day!

Sunday Musings
This is a pretty late Sunday Musings edition, but I’m just getting home after running some errands and and such, but it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve written one of these posts, so I thought I should share some other insight other than fashion.
After going to a tutoring session this afternoon, I realized that I’d been parking on Chicago’s legendary Maxwell Street.  I’d parked there a couple of times before, but I never took notice of the street name.  I was a bit surprised since the Maxwell street that I knew as a wee child was that of street markets (which have now been moved) and now is more UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago)-friendly fare.  However, I did see a few historical statues and this informational “guide” on Maxwell street:
Plus, this statue of this sensibly stylish lady sitting down and resting with her groceries at her side:
Good times.
Here are some other tidbits about my now lazy Sunday:
What I’m Reading:
The Virgin Suicides. Chalk it up to another book I put in my “should have read, but never got around to it” category.  I’d actually almost begun watching the movie, but I decided that perhaps I should read the book first instead.
What I’m Listening To: Illy Jilly from Philly, Ms. Jill Scott. I’m just really watching all of her videos and feeling a sense of empowerment as I take care of the rest of my chores for the evening.  Here is “Getting In the Way”:
