Prabal Gurung Fall 2011: It’s All In The Details

I’ve been intrigued by Prabal Gurung ever since his debut Fall 2009 collection because of his close attention to detail. Nearly 3 years later, his designs have evolved but his high quality fashion-forward aesthetic has remained the same. Just when I think it’s not possible, his collections get better and better every season. The details in his Fall 2011 collection have really stood out to me and because of my Prabal obsession…these pieces deserve their own post.

And this was only Fall ’11…have you seen Spring ’12? When it comes to the details, Prabal is on another level. It’s why he’s been one of my favorite designers since that Fall 2009 debut collection, and will continue to be one for many seasons to come.

New York Fashion Week Candid on Chicago Street Style

I was so excited to see yesterday that Amy from Chicago Street Style posted a candid photo of me from New York Fashion Week.

Although I despise most pictures of myself, I don’t mind them as much if I’m not looking at the camera…and with Amy’s amazing photography skills, I can never hate her photos. Plus, she’s been killing it with the candids lately! Click here to view the full post.

Chi City Closet: Celine Luggage Tote

Okay so I admit, I’ve been a little handbag crazy lately (especially because my last Chi City Closet post was about the Louis Vuitton Lockit Clutch) but hey…if I’m on a waitlist for months and the opportunity arises, I gotta take it right?

I’ve had my eye on the Celine Luggage Tote since last year and this thing became IMPOSSIBLE to get. It’s not sold online and stores could barely keep it in. But when I happened to stumble across it in Barney’s yesterday, I couldn’t resist! I really love this bag because at a glance it appears to be a classic style but the lines are really unique and the leather is beautiful. I am so excited to make this my new everyday tote (my PS1 needs a break!)
