Love to support and shop local? Then you should check out the Winter Local one day only pop-up shopping event Saturday, December 10. Shop independent designers and boutiques while benefiting the Chicago Artists’ Coalition. Some of the participating vendors include Emerging Thoughts, Elyse Marie Vieni, Winter Session, and withlovexox to name a few.
Happy Shopping!
I’ve never been a big reader but I absolutely love fashion books (probably because they’re mostly made up of large, visually appealing images). I’ve been collecting them for the last few years but there’s always more to add to my wishlist. I compiled some that I already own along with a few that are currently on my mind, but regardless…there’s a fashion book for everyone and these books would make any fashion enthusiast quite the happy camper this holiday season.
Fashion for beginners: The Little Dictionary of Fashion
For those who don’t mind a little bit of nudity: Kate Moss by Mario Testino
A lot of pretty pictures: Harper’s Bazaar Greatest Hits
**I just bought this over the weekend and met Glenda Bailey herself…such an inspirational woman! This book is awesome.
Top of the list (Carine can do no wrong): Carine Roitfelt Irreverent
Fashion foodies rejoice: American Fashion Cookbook

What are your favorite fashion books? Have any on your mind for the holidays?
Happy Friday all! Today I wanted a short and sweet post…one dedicated to my current obsession, the Proenza Schouler Macramé Skirt from their Fall 2011 collection.
As seen on Anna Dello Russo during “fashion month,” it’s truly a piece of art and a really great addition to your wardrobe…or my wardrobe 🙂
Now if I just had $8,865 to spare…
If you haven’t seen this video yet, I highly recommend watching. Just a little fun 1 minute and 41 seconds of fashion, dance and awesomeness.

You may have noticed ChiCityFashion looks a little different today. I thought it needed a little sprucing up (and by sprucing I mean some neon and Proenza). I think this illustration really encompasses my style and of course showcases the lovely skyline in the background.
This illustration was designed by the lovely (and Chicago-based!) Rosemary Fanti. Thanks to Rosemary for contributing to ChiCityFashion’s amazing new look!
