Shorts Go Glam in the Loop
I spotted Shia (sorry if I'm butchering your name!) while shopping at--don't judge me-- Forever 21. Her stature, chic style, and the nonchalance of her pose makes me wonder if I had a M.O.D. on my hands.
Beach Bum in the Loop
My boyfriend Kody, dressed for sun and leisure in low-key button down and rolled pants, on his way home from long day at Ohio Street Beach.
Welcome to the Gun Show in the Loop
Standing in line behind Coni, I immediately noticed her back-button blouse. It's a vintage style from the late 70s, when Victorian-inspired fashions were in. Coni wears hers with a modern and chic denim pencil skirt.
Loud and Proud Colors at Pride
I spotted this adorable retro outfit while enjoying the gay festivities of Pride with my GBF. I just love that the trend for shorts is moving towards longer length-- it's so nice to NOT see cheeks hanging out all over the place!
Summer: Styled in Bucktown
As promised: pictures from the photo shoot I styled for Melinda Jane Myers!
The theme is pure summer, with a East Coast feel and a hint of retro charm. And the best part? I pulled all the looks from my own closet!
Boyfriend jeans and suspenders.
Rosie the Riveter headscarf and high-waisted shorts.
Beaded tank and Yoko shades.
100th post: Lolita on the Mag Mile
A very subtle outfit, with the top detail of her stockings just peeking out of her skirt. Adorable.
Blues Superlatives in Grant Park
Thanks for bearing with me as I wait for internet to be set up in my new apartment! I also apologize for the delay on the pictures from the photo shoot… I hope to have them by the end of the week!
But for now, here are some fun pictures from the Chicago Blues Fest!
"Most Boogey-Woogey Friendly Outfit" Simple, comfortable, but cute!
"Cutest Umbrella"
"Best Color Scheme" and "Cutest Concert Bag"

In Her 50s in Bucktown
Funny story: I was admiring this girl's tassel earrings and 50s-inspired look on the bus, but I needed to save the last bit of juice in my camera battery for the photo shoot I was on my way to style. As fate would have it, we ended up at the same place because this young lady's friend was the model!
Here's a teaser from our photo shoot. Check back Monday for more!
Bohemian Wrapsody in Pilsen
The thing that I love most about this look is that it has a serious boho vibe, without feeling overdone, Urban Outfitters, or "so last three summers". Coming in a close second is the fabulous use of texture.
