Stephanie Simek Strikes Again 2008-03-28 14:26:43 Just try to make sense of 25-year-old Stephanie
Simek’s world. Rererato, the Portland-based art/music space she shares with her man, Adam Keller sounds as wacky and interesting as the exhibits they feature. Take, “Spaghetti: A Rhinestone Studded Suburban Dream.” But if you can't make it to Portland, you can still experience Simek's equally interesting wearable art here in Chicago (1951 W. Division, ). Simek has added a new piece to her collection and it's just as eye-catching as her eyelash necklace. The centerpiece is a delicate pearlized Turbo Cinereus shell filled with a silver powder that sprinkles a dusting on the wearer's chest when tapped. $95 www.StephanieSimek.com Shooting The Breeze With Simek TCG: How do you come up with ideas for your pieces?

Walgreen's DUDS 2008-03-28 11:18:33 Walgreens wants you to done their new duds. The problem is that their "clothing line" really is a dud. The Casual Gear line is cheap, but if Walgreens thinks they're marketing anything other then pajamas, then they've really woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Stick to what you know best Walgreens--condoms and candy.Subscribe to The Chicago Girl Read more:Walgreen
Tuck Ever-Lasting Longer 2008-04-01 12:06:47 Jeanne Calmet holds the record for world's longest lifespan at 122 years(1875-1997)Americans seem to be fascinated with the prospect of living a longer life. Perhaps it's because science could bring biblical character's centennial-plus lifespans into a feasible reality.Barbra Walter's special, "Live To Be 150", which airs tonight explores just that.I imagine that Barbra Walters will investigate how living a quality lifeand a longer life are two interchangeable factors. But the part of the quest of quantity that irks me is the extreme measures people will go to extend their lifespan and the oversight of the quality of life.For instance, there has been research involving whether an extremely limited diet might prolong a lifespan. There's still no hard evidence it does. (See "Starve Yourse
A Spring Dress With Flex 2008-03-31 13:32:39 I realized upon recent inspection of my closet that my Spring
wardrobe screams less chic and more Salvation Army. I'm one of those keep-them-just-in-case kind of gals, but a series of stretched-out cotton tank tops from middle school just won't cut it anymore. That's the sad truth. It's time to revise. My goal is to add a few versatile and more grown-up pieces like this one from New York & Company to my wardrobe. $54.95 New York & Co.

Finally, Express Gains Some Momentum 2008-04-08 13:00:51 I usually rush to Express
for a few trendy pieces, but their Spring collection left me speeding out of the store. Thankfully, Express British bohemian designer Celia Birtwell brings Express up to speed. My favorite piece is her Volume Sleeve Dress for $128. Still, the problems with mass-designed clothing lines are that everyone has it and it's not all that cheap. On the other hand, if you can wear it and own it, then you can make it your own.View The CollectionSubscribe to The Chicago Girl Read more:Finally
