My Favorite Moments From 2011

2011 was a pretty great year. Now that I look back, I got to experience a lot of amazing things and I’m so grateful for these opportunities. I hope you had an amazing 2011…but let’s make 2012 even better!

Here’s a look at of some of my favorite moments from this past year…

Getting a good camera! So I can share better quality pictures with you, my lovely readers, and also so I can take sick pictures like this…

Meeting Brian Atwood…because not only are his shoes gorgeous, so is he!

Having ChiCityFashion be featured in the latest issue of CS Magazine…along with my favorite blogger friends.

Meeting Glenda Bailey…she made Harper’s Bazaar what it is today and she is one of the most incredible people I’ve met to date.

My first Chanel bag…enough said 🙂

A surprise appearance by Giuliana and Bill at my 23rd birthday.

Seeing a Kelly bag get made before my very eyes at the Hermes Festival of Crafts.

It was my goal this year to make it to the McQueen exhibit at the Met, and thanks to their lovely extension…I made it!

Photographed by Tommy Ton (without even knowing it!) my first day at Fashion Week in New York this year. And seeing it on Style.com the next day…unreal!

I think this one takes the cake. Meeting my favorite designers (Jack and Lazaro), designing a custom version of my very favorite bag (the PS1), and it all led up to this…

Photobucket

I still can’t believe I own the only custom PS1. Officially the most treasured item in my closet.

I couldn’t have asked for a better year. Thank you all for your support and your awesome comments. Have a happy new year!

Getting Dosed at Dose Market

This weekend I went to Holidose (the Holiday version of Dose market) with my friend Chelsea . I thought it would be the perfect way to accomplish some holiday shopping but the day didn’t really go according to plan.

After some fried chicken with honey butter, 2 pie shakes from Hoosier Mama, and some purchases from C/FAN, Chalk Boutique and One of One jewelry….I realized none of these were gifts and I completely failed at my mission of holiday shopping. But hey…I left full, satisfied (a little fat) and excited about these new additions to my wardrobe. So I guess it wasn’t a completely failed mission 🙂

Here’s some of my photos from Dose. These markets occur every month so if you haven’t been yet, you should definitely check out the next one! It’s all about food, fashion and shopping local…how can you resist?
