Style File Friday: Monroe Street Chocolate Walk

I'll take three, thank you.  Chocolates that is.  I have a major sweet tooth.  And when it comes to good chocolates I'm defenseless.  I LOVE.  Love. Love 'em.  The idea of eating sweets and walking is the perfect match.  Eat = put on the pounds.  Walk = take off the pounds.  What a perfect match.  This should be a lot of fun.  Oh, and did I mention there are a lot of local businesses involved?  Perfect.

What: Sweet treats and local shops benefiting the Vilas Zoo

When: Saturday, March 26.  12-4pm

Where: 1700 to 3500 blocks of Monroe Street

More info: See the Isthmus Daily page

Have fun walking (off the chocolates)!

Style File Friday: Mad Rollin' Dolls

Oh derby girls.  How I admire thee.  Of course this is coming from a tennis-playing-contact-avoiding-fragile-girl. Yes, fragile.  I'll try not to be too star struck while writing this week's Style File Friday.  You're welcome.

Haven't been to a roller derby bout before?  Well.  Well.  Well.  You certainly should attend at least one in your life time.  Where else can you see dressed up chicas of all shapes and sizes skating their hearts out in the name of team spirit?  Eh, and sometimes revenge.  If nothing else it will bring out the childhood urges in you to put on your skates (yes, you may need to buy a pair) and skate your heart out.  Beware though the falls hurt a lot more now than they did then.

What: Bout #4 All Hail the Queens
When: Saturday at 6pm
Where: Dane County Coliseum at the Alliant Energy Center
More info: Mad Rollin Dolls Website

Mad Rollin' Dolls Outfit:

Locavore Tee (made in Iowa): $24
Skunk Funk Purse: $60
Flap Pocket Denim: $88

Enjoy the (almost) Spring weekend!
