One day, Lacey thought to herself, "Self: wouldn't it be fantastic to have a place to blog where I didn't feel self-conscious about being overly girly? I need a place to talk about modern feminism as well as the perfect shade of purple nail polish. What will I do?" She felt like lots of ladies had many interesting things to say and she ventured to hypothesize that MOST women think and deal with the SAME THINGS, but these things are not spoken out loud! They are saved for secret women's circles and hushed whispers and our own personal paranoid thoughts. "No more!" she said. That's why she started the girlieblog.
A lover of both Mac and MAC, Lacey spends frigid Chicago winter days gazing up at the Mosaic ceiling in Marshall Field's on State Street and drinking lots of hot, black coffee. And lattes. And americanos. In the summer she will pass you on her bike going down the Lake Shore bike path. She also enjoys anything that is red and/or pea green.
