Bohemian Wrapsody in Pilsen

A@CGS — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:03:25 +0000

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.

Kickin’ It in Pilsen

Want to easily make a chic shift dress wearable in a casual cafe setting? Throw on a pair of sneakers, like Margarita here. But please, for the love of God, keep it to cute keds-like sneakers, not gym shoes!

I go Spandexy in Pilsen

Since everyone had such interesting opinions on the topic of denim leggings, I thought I’d continue the topic, and show you how I wear my own beloved pair of Forever 21 denim leggings…

The Polished way: Mary-janes, fresh-water pearls, and a sweater vest for good measure.

The Casual Way: American Apparel tee and vintage Kenneth Cole's from Deliciously Vintage on Halsted and 18th.

In case anyone was wondering what I wear while trolling the Chicago streets for style... this is not it. I usually wear a coat. But today, I froze my tail off for your viewing pleasure.

I didn't think to ask if she got it at a second-hand store!

Le Petit Ami in Pilsen

Kody manages to stay warm in winter without looking like Grizzly Adams. Or a grizzly bear. Or the Michelin Man. Or Randy from "A Christmas Story". You get the idea.

Giving the Bold Shoulder in Pilsen

At first this young lady flatly REFUSED to let me take her picture, but I was like, "Come on sis, think of all the times I reasoned with mom on your behalf!"
