Every second Friday in Pilsen (the lower west side of Chicago/the art district) there is an art walk in which you are able to go in and out of all the galleries, enjoying the art for free and the drinks for pretty cheap. We spent the better part of the evening hanging out at my friends gallery (here is my shout out to Black Cloud Gallery, seriously go check them out at http://blackcloudgallery.net/). But soon my buzz kicked in and my curiosity took over so we ventured out to see the other galleries in the neighborhood.

As we were walking the strip, I heard a DJ spinning hip hop and as all my friends walked on, I instantly stopped to find where this little piece of heaven was coming from. I found a small door that led to a staircase and I wondered up, completely excited to see what I was going to find. And what did I find? Well, just the mother load of BoomCases (see pics above, if you are confused). I fell instantly in love and I knew there was going to be nothing better than this on the art walk. As far as I was concerned, my night of art was over, nothing would compare to combining hip hop and art all in one. 

After researching the BoomCase, I knew that it was out of my budget. But they were so dope and I really wanted one (I was already scheming to figure out how to get one) and that is when my amazing boyfriend said, "I can build you one baby." I thought that he was kidding and just trying to make me feel better, as any good boyfriend would do but in the back of my mind, I knew he just wanted me to stop talking about it. Low and behold my birthday comes around about a month or so later and he gave me the best present ever; He built me my very own, one-of-a-kind, BoomCase! 

Check out my boyfriend's version of the BoomCase and p.s. thanks boo...

The Weeknd!!!!!!!!!!!!

My girl introduced me to The Weeknd via his mixtape, Thursday and I was hooked from that moment on. He brings a refreshing sound and style that is well needed and currently, I am obsessed. On his newest mixtape, Echoes of Silence, he does a remake of Michael Jackson's song, Dirty Diana, which is truly hard to pull off right. Yet he does it, perfectly. The Weeknd and Drake have already collaborated on several songs and I am positive there will be plenty more high profile collaborations for him in the very near future.I thought Frank Ocean was going to fill a well needed spot in the R&B community but he just got bumped out of his position as the front runner and The Weeknd took his place. And this guy is still unsigned, I love it.

If you have been sleeping under a rock and have no idea who I am talking about, get it together and go here to download all 3 of his mixtapes, for free. Sit back, relax, and get in the zone. --->

From me, to you...

My life would not be as fun without my boyfriend. He has given me the courage to approach impossible and sometimes, yes, ridiculous situations and he has definitely made my life much more entertaining than I could have ever done on my own. My life with him is funny, vulgar, raw, uncensored, wild, uninhibited, crazy, random...
To my boyfriend, Vodka, I love you.

My life would not be complete without my husband. He is my heart and soul, the reason I breathe. He has been the strongest influence in my life since as long as I can remember. The first time I heard a dope beat drop was the same moment I fell, head over heels, in love with him. Since he entered my life I was forever changed, constantly inspired. It is his culture, his views, his essence, his wordplay, his hustle, his everything...
To my husband, Hip Hop, I can't live without you.

My life would not be as beautiful if it were not for my muse. She is like a forever evolving piece of art and she inspires me everyday to be bold, daring, confident and sexy. She has given me the ability to want, need and desire the finer things in life. It is her classy, flirty, playful, sexy, bold approach to life...  
To my muse, Fashion, my world is beautiful because of you.

Xoxo, 
Jenny
