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.

Headscarves Over Heels in Love

A@CGS — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:43:14 +0000

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:

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!

Babooshka-chic in Little Italy

A@CGS — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:19:54 +0000

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?

Effortless Layers in the South Loop

I literally chased this guy down after I spotted him striding down Wabash like he owned it, paisley scarf fluttering in the wind. So cool, so effortless.

Color Palatable in the South Loop

I find it odd that few Chicagoans coordinate their outer gear--like this stylish lady did-- considering how often one is seen in them.

All About Accessories in the Loop

There are a lot of things I like about this, and they're all in the details: the belt-over-jacket, the matching hat and scarf, and the big metal earrings.

Sometimes, all you need is a fitted coat and cozy fall accessories. Of course, a cute curly coif never hurts either!
