Havaianas Beach Pop-Up Event

Early this week I posted about the “Make Your Own Havaianas” Beach Pop-Up event I was hosting. If you didn’t get the chance to attend, there’s still a chance for you to make your own Havaianas. The pop-up will be at North Avenue beach through July 31 and will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 11am to 7pm.

I made these.

I would love to see what you come up with!

Despite the weather, it was a really fun event. I got to hang out with my fellow Style Tribe members, host with my talented friend Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style, and I wore my new Proenza Schouler SS ’11 dress with my Missoni x Havaianas flip flops…what more could I ask for?

Dana Rebecca Designs Unveils 2011 Collection

Last summer I had the pleasure of interviewing Dana Levy of Dana Rebecca Designs. If you’re not familiar with her jewelry, I highly suggest checking it out because it’s truly unique and absolutely stunning.

I was so excited when I checked my mail the other day to see an invitation from DRD…she’s unveiling her 2011 collection next weekend! I cannot wait to see all of the new amazing pieces. Thankfully I got my hands on some photos from her new collection, but you’ll just have to wait until after the event for more 🙂
