Just last month I talked about these sweet t-shirts that [I believe] condone good sportsmanship (exactly what fashion needs). Because you know I can’t resist a good tee, this inevitably happened.
This year, I’ve introduced two new categories to ChiCityFashion (What Why Where and Chi City’s Most Stylish) and because we’re well more than half way through 2013, I thought another new topic was in order. Nothing feels better than reminiscing and feeling a bit nostalgic, right? I’ll leave it to Buzzfeed to give me lists of things I miss about the 90s so I’m going to do something a little different. Today will be my first installment of a new feature — Throwback Thursday (not to be confused with #tbt on Instagram). I’m going to start with past collections from designers and who knows what will stem from that. And because I thought my first TBT would be way too predictable if I chose Proenza, today is all about Prabal Gurung.

While reading the most recent issue of Harper’s Bazaar during one of two times I read magazines (getting a pedicure and traveling…I’m still in Chicago so you can make an educated guess which one I was doing), a bag caught my eye in one of their editorials, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So what do I do when I can’t stop thinking about something? Talk about it on CCF, of course.

I took a little excursion last Friday afternoon to Rosemont and checked out the much talked about Fashion Outlets of Chicago. Let’s just say when I first heard about this place and “Barneys Warehouse” was brought up, I was already sold. But as always, I had to see for myself.
