On Wednesday, August 24 Jessica Quirk from What I Wore will be at the 900 Shops promoting her new book appropriately titled, What I Wore. This is especially awesome to me because Jessica’s blog was the first personal style blog I ever discovered and really got me interested in fashion blogging.
So come to Julie Watson Style at 900 N. Michigan and sip cocktails, meet Jessica, and of course…shop!
After my wonderful experience at the Oliver Peoples press breakfast last month, I was beyond pleased to get a hand delivered package from Skirt PR the other day.
Yes, it’s the Oliver Peoples ♥ Chicago limited edition aviators!
Thank you Oliver Peoples for contributing to the latest addition to Chi City Closet!
One of my favorite designers, Prabal Gurung, released his first ever online only ads yesterday. I thought this was such a great concept to only release certain photos for online advertising and I’m really looking forward to seeing more innovative ideas like this with Prabal and in the fashion industry as a whole.
Check out the images from Prabal Gurung’s first ever Fall 2011 digital ad campaign.
I’m going to be honest, it takes a lot for me to really love an ad campaign. We see so many online, in magazines, etc and it can be very redundant. However, this literally gave me chills when I looked through these images. It really brings a whole new level of power to these clothes and this truly blew me away.
What do you think of Prabal’s first ever online ads?
This weekend, I attended the Topshop/Topman Lollapalooza after party at Bar Deville. The venue was super laid back which goes along with the whole music festival theme. There were all sorts of people there; from those who were at Lolla all day in their cut-offs and tank tops to those decked out in dresses and sky high heels. And yes, I drank PBR in 6 inch Louboutins…so what? 🙂
Ran into Jeff from The Midwestyle!
This was such a fun event, and I got to see Tinie Tempah perform…which was really awesome. I’ve heard a few of his songs before but it was way cooler to see him live.
So basically (once again), Zapwater killed it. And I am so looking forward to more Topshop events and even more so…the TOPSHOP OPENING NEXT MONTH!
I have many obsessions when it comes to fashion, however there are a few things I have in mind that I absolutely must own for this coming Fall season. It may come as a shock that Proenza is not incorporated into this post, but let’s be real…it’s only August and Fall merchandise is just rolling out. Plenty of time for some new Fall 2011 obsessions 🙂
For now, here’s what I’m coveting this Fall…
Miu Miu Glitter & Suede Bootie
After studying the Fall ’11 collections, I couldn’t help but obsess over all of the Miu Miu glitter shoes. Of all the styles and colors though, this one sticks with me the most. Glitter and Miu Miu…do you need anything more?
Christopher Kane Short Samantha Aqua wool-crepe dress
I already posted about how much I love my Christopher Kane aqua clutch…so you can imagine how I felt when I came across this this dress. The neckline and pockets are made of the same material as the bag…genius!
It’s very difficult for me to even think about wearing a coat right now (especially because it’s been warm in Chicago for no more than 2 months) but it’s Missoni…and it’s awesome. I like how it can be dressed up or down and it has that classic Missoni look we all know and I love.

Those are my key obsessions for the time being, but I know there will be many more to come. What are you coveting for Fall 2011?
