Yes, such a thing exists. Can you believe it? AND it’s not ironic that it’s called the Jena blazer…it is indeed named after me. Hashtag humble brag.

One thing I hear from women way too often is that they need more basics in their wardrobe. I get it. When you’re shopping, it’s seems more satisfying to buy that special dress you’ll probably wear only once as opposed to a basic t-shirt. Then when it comes to real life you realize you’re not wearing a sequin dress everyday and you think you have nothing to wear. Well, I have found the solution…and it happens to be right here in Chicago.

If you haven’t heard of AZZA by Azeeza Desai Kahn, then note that you will be hearing much of her soon (and remember you heard it on ChiCityFashion first). With her use high quality fabrics, vibrant colors, unique embellishments and the most amazing studs and beading you’ll ever see…what more is there to want? Oh and she’s based in Chicago…even better!
I recently purchased a few of AZZA’s signature blazers and I’ve been dying to share them with you….but I had to make sure I could schedule a photoshoot with Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style so I could ensure the photos would be perfect!

I recently came across a really unique jewelry line (which happens to be based in Chicago!) that’s known for these special calendar necklaces. They come in silver, rose gold, white gold and yellow gold with a variety of stones that can be placed on a meaningful date. Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday or any other special occasion, I think these necklaces make THE perfect gift.
If you’re not a necklace person, these also come in wrap bracelets that can be made with or without extra charms. How can you not love these?!
So guys, if you’re looking for a great gift for your girl this Valentine’s Day or girls, if you just want to do him a favor and get yourself something nice with his credit card…then check out the Dalla Nonna website. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Modahnik Spring/Summer 2012

Often in Chicago, or any other city where it’s freezing most of the year, we tend to resort to black and neutrals. But local designer Kahindo Mateene is challenging that.
Starting her colorful clothing line Modahnik just 2 years ago, Kahindo has now earned one of those coveted spots as a Designer in Residence for the Chicago Fashion Incubator program. Her unique prints and amazing use of color is what really makes her designs stand out. I love the combination of feminine silhouettes with the bold use of fabrics. Modahnik fun fact–all of her designs are produced in Africa using sustainable fair trade practices. Awesome!
Here’s a look at a few of my favorite looks from Modahnik Spring/Summer 2012.
