What I'm Reading Now: Short is the New Black

For some fashion and beauty inspiration Short is the New Black is a daily must read. Justine has quite an eye for fashion and I love following her adventures throughout Chicago. Check out Short is the New Black to find a hip restaurant in Chicago or a new lipstick to add to your collection.

Get to know Justine:

1. What are you currently reading? 

Well, I've joined my first book club, the Boozy Book Club! We are reading Brain of Fire for September-October. "An award-winning memoir and instant New York Times bestseller that goes far beyond its riveting medical mystery, Brain on Fire is the powerful account of one woman’s struggle to recapture her identity." I have a feeling it's going to be a good one!

2. Favorite recipe or restaurant? 

I'm always searching for new restaurants in the city.....one of the many reasons why I love living in Chicago! Right now I have two favorites both located in the West Loop: Maude's Liquor Bar & La Sirena Clandestina. My favorite recipe has got to be this "easy chicken fried rice" - it takes the healthy route to one of my favorite (and basic) Chinese food dishes!

3. What's your favorite thing about blogging? 

There are so many things I love about blogging but I think my favorite is the amazing people you meet along the way. Stephanie was my first blogging friend and over a year later, I consider her one of my best friends.

4. Five things on your wish list?

1. This Celine Handbag
2. My next David Yurman Ring
3. Everything from Evelyn Henson's Etsy Shop
4. I'm loving these new NARS Audacious Lipsticks
5. Any candle I can get my hands on!

5. Favorite quote? 

This is a hard one, have you seen my 'Words to Live By' Pinterest board? I think my favorite that really hits home is "when you love what you have, you have everything you need."
