CUBS
For me, spring means one thing: Cubs baseball. In my house, North Side pride is religion. Here’s how you do a Cub’s baseball game right. 1. Go to a night game. Wrigley’s lights, which were installed in 1988, bring new life to the iconic ballpark (which also happens to be my favorite place in the...
Beyond the Skinny Vanilla Latte
MODA was up bright and early for Caffenture‘s Blue Line Coffee Crawl last Saturday. The crawl, which started at 9 am in Logan Square, took us to three unique and charming coffee shops in Wicker Park/Bucktown. At each shop, we sampled coffees (and snacks!) and learned about different roasting methods. Gaslight Coffee Roasters 2385 N. Milwaukee Ave....
Happy Friday
What are you doing this weekend? We’re headed to Bucktown Arts Festival for a dance-off, drinking Hugo’s in the sun, and wearing our pajamas more often than we should. Here are some links from around the web: A novel we can’t wait for. The perfect Sunday morning song. Olsen twins, Pt. 2? Our new favorite...
Obsessed

Some of us might decide that it’s time to FINALLY begin that intense workout regimen, and others may read about fifty books (we are the #1 worst party school in...

Country Thunder, an annual, four-day music festival in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin has become something of a tradition for my...
Summer in the Suburbs
Well, I’m only about a month late on this what-I’m-doing-this-summer post!…Blame it on summer brain. Aside from neglecting my duties as a MODA blogger this summer, I’ve been interning at a nonprofit that does child obesity prevention initiatives–very interesting stuff. Getting to wear business clothes all the time is almost better (wait, it is better)...
Girl Crush: Felicity Jones in Like Crazy
With the buzz surrounding Jennifer Lawrence lately, you would think that she’d steal the show in the recently released romance movie Like Crazy. Wrong. Felicity Jones’s messy-cute style is what catches every college girl’s eye. With her always perfectly disheveled bedhead and impeccable British accent, Jones’ character, Anna, lands Anton Yelchin (Jacob). Even as the...
Who is Cults?
Two weeks ago, I attended the most chill concert of my life: Cults, at Metro in Wrigleyville. One of my friends is really into their music, so I decided to tag along. Going in, I knew only one of their songs, “Go Outside.” Afterwards, I told a lot of people about the “hipster” concert that I...
