I love running into people like Eric here. Not only is his outfit Hamptons-prep perfection, but he had a great sense of humor... (See below!)

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!

Geek Chic Style in Lakeview

As promised, (forever ago) photos from the Nerds at Heart fashion show that I styled and produced. All photos are by Steph Heldrich. Clothing provided by Knee Deep Vintage in Pilsen, with organic cotton graphic tees by FiddleHeads.

Here we have the living-in-the-80s nerd.

Rockin' the sweater vest.

Just your average secretary. Okay, maybe minus the hair pencils.

Librarian-chic, mixing not two, but three different prints!

Hot for spring: spinner hats and turquoise jumpsuits!

Nerdy boys will be nerdy boys.
