Whether it’s clothes, shoes, makeup and even interiors it’s rare to find someone with such impeccable taste in all categories. But I found her…and she is pretty awesome.
Net-a-Porter Spring Sale
May 29, 2013 By 1 Comment
Could it be more perfect that the Net-a-Porter sale started yesterday on my birthday? I just like to think they had me in mind when planning for this special day (and disregard the fact that everyone has sales after Memorial Day).
I love this time of year because spring merchandise goes on sale and living in Chicago, we’ve barely broken in our spring wardrobes. The last Net-a-Porter sale in December, I rounded up my favorite discounted designer items under $200 but I thought I’d take on more of a challenge for this one…
Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’s, Please
April 9, 2013 By 2 Comments
If you’ve ever been inside Bergdorf Goodman, I’m sure you know that it’s more than just a store…it’s a magical place (especially the second floor…I can’t contain myself when I’m around all those shoes). And clearly, I’m not the only one feels this way.
Karl Lagerfeld Black Diamond Collar

If you’re like the biggest Karl Lagerfeld fan ever (and have $37,500 to spare) then you’re going to love this! If you are in different about Karl and live on a budget, I suggest you keep reading anyway…
Net-a-Porter has partnered with Karl Lagerfeld to create a one-of-a-kind diamond pavé and leather collar, featuring over 40 carats of black diamonds and a 22.33 carat hydrothermal emerald at the neck. Yes, this is real and it’s available exclusively on Net-a-Porter.com. The collar will also be exhibited at Masterpiece London as part of Carol Woolton’s ‘Brilliant’ exhibition from June 28th until July 4th. The collar comes with a sketch signed by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as a donation to CLIC Sargent. I also hope this comes with Karl’s cat, Choupette.
Interview With Brad Goreski
April 16, 2012 By 7 Comments
Saturday afternoon I attended Brad Goreski’s book signing at Brooks Brothers and scored an interview with him before the event started. He was such a pleasure to talk to and as always…I was obsessed with his outfit. Wearing Black Fleece head-to-toe (except for a killer pair of Louboutins), how can you not love this?
We started off chatting about Fashion’s Night Out and how I thought it was great he decided to come to Chicago for that stylish evening. That night in September was his first time here and he’s been back a few more times since. He says he loves Chicago now, and enjoys dining at Pump Room and going to Underground. Before our interview he had just finished brunch at Luxbar, which let’s be honest…you can never go wrong. I also told him his boyfriend Gary is one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter…and I’m kind of obsessed with his dogs, who get lots of air time on It’s a Brad Brad World.
So we all know Brad’s a stylist, has his own TV show and has written a book, but do you know his most prized fashion possession or favorite place he’s traveled? Well now you can find out!
What womenswear designer do you wish designed menswear?
Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. I wore a head-to-toe Chanel outfit once and I wish he did more menswear. I’d also love to wear Jason Wu.
Favorite place you’ve traveled?
Tokyo for fashion. Greece overall. (where he met his long time boyfriend Gary)
If you had to choose a title for your second book, it would be…
Brad to the Bone.
What’s your process for getting dressed?
I start with one key piece and build everything around that. It’s similar for when I’m styling a client, except the key piece doesn’t always end up being the star of the look.
What’s your most prized fashion possession?
Right now I’m loving my Simon Spurr jacket with leather sleeves. It adds a little edge to my outfit. But my Louis Vuitton duffle has the most sentimental value.
Brad, I leave you with one question…when am I going to see this Spurr jacket?? It sounds like something I’d be very interested in borrowing.
Be sure to pick up a copy of Brad’s new book Born To Be Brad on sale now!
