Columbia student Madeline wearing an ice cream cone print blouse!

Hula girl in summer brights

Just hanging out... looking cool in his dreadlocks and matching bags.

Fearless Miss Anna Rabin rocking her new one-side-buzzed hairstyle. Is there an official name for that look?

Nothing like mixing flannel and rock-star booties.

And finally... Watch out Tavi Gevinson, fashionistas are getting younger and younger these days!

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.

Avant Goth in the South Loop

A@CGS — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:07:02 +0000

Ah, I like a little neo-goth on a guy. Or in this case, a lot. Actually, I don't usually see the style done to this extent-- the black layering, the harem pants, the refined combat boot--very often in Chicago.

Double the Details in the South Loop

A@CGS — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:55:28 +0000

What's better than a well-dressed man? A well-dressed man with his equally polished lady friend! I love the Euro look these two have going on. There are so many fabulous, well thought-out details in their outfits-- like the brown and white checked socks, for example, peeking out under the man's jeans.

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.

Fun print dress, bold cobalt leggings... and the anti-heel booties!

Her gravity-defying footwear is from House of Sole on S. Michigan Ave.

Color Palatable in the South Loop

A@CGS — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:04:40 +0000

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

Still an Animal in the South Loop

A@CGS — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:00:54 +0000

In this rare example of interspecies communication, a panda and a shark overcome their habitational differences to share a laugh between classes.
