Personal Style with Atelier AZZA

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!

My Favorite Moments From 2011

2011 was a pretty great year. Now that I look back, I got to experience a lot of amazing things and I’m so grateful for these opportunities. I hope you had an amazing 2011…but let’s make 2012 even better!

Here’s a look at of some of my favorite moments from this past year…

Getting a good camera! So I can share better quality pictures with you, my lovely readers, and also so I can take sick pictures like this…

It was my goal this year to make it to the McQueen exhibit at the Met, and thanks to their lovely extension…I made it!

Photographed by Tommy Ton (without even knowing it!) my first day at Fashion Week in New York this year. And seeing it on Style.com the next day…unreal!

I think this one takes the cake. Meeting my favorite designers (Jack and Lazaro), designing a custom version of my very favorite bag (the PS1), and it all led up to this…

I still can’t believe I own the only custom PS1. Officially the most treasured item in my closet.

I couldn’t have asked for a better year. Thank you all for your support and your awesome comments. Have a happy new year!
