CGS Presents It’s First Fashion Show!
If I seems that I’ve been a little absent lately, it’s because I’ve got a lot on my plate with an upcoming event.
And you, my dear followers, get to hear about it first! I am working with a company called Nerds At Heart, who hosts dating parties for smart singles. As part of their Earth Day event, I am producing and sponsoring a casual, geek-chic fashion show using all recycled/vintage clothing. The event is exclusively for singles, but if you would like to know more, please email: anna@nerdsatheart.com
See and the Sky on the CTA
This may be one of my most favorite color combos-- olive and blue. I also love the accessories in this look, especially that watch!
Charlé in the South Loop
This is Charlé, fashion and jewelry designer extraordinaire. I am mad about her glasses.
Fox in the Houndstooth on the CTA
Ah, Spring... when young men's fancy turns to boldly patterned jackets. Happy Easter everyone!
Here Comes the Sun in the South Loop
Little darling, it's been a long, cold lonely winter--which is why yesterday, many Chicagoans enthusiastically greeted the sun in shorts, sandals, or sundresses. I, however, prefer a slow transition into summer attire, like this easy breezy spring look.
Headscarves Over Heels in Love
About a week ago, I posted a picture of myself with a scarf wrapped around my head, and mused on how this look could be Spring-a-fied. Well, I decided to try it out at a shoot that I styled this past weekend. I stole a couple of the raw images to show you:

Dress by Jean Paul Gaultier for Target, headscarf from H&M, worn by Stephanie (FACTOR)
P.S. I will be out of town for a week, so unless you’re dying for coverage of small-town Indiana street style, there will be no more posts until Monday. See you then!

Come Back Tomorrow for Part 2: The Attendees
Babooshka-chic in Little Italy
My typical winter ensemble, on an atypically pleasant winter day. I started wrapping my scarf this way for practicality, but now it's almost become a trademark. I'm thinking of trying it with a light scarf for spring. Any thoughts? And did anyone else notice the prevalence of headscarves in French Vogue this past month?
Making It Work on the CTA
You know it's a good day when you look over and see Project Runway alum Terri Stevens sitting opposite you on the bus, doing her own take on menswear style. We talked a little shop... and by that I mean the Oscars red carpet.
