After 7 straight days of shows, presentations, meetings and parties (which happen to be all over NYC), I’m more than ready to sit still for a few minutes (preferably without shoes on) and get back to my real life in Chicago. Not like I didn’t have fun (because the bags under my eyes prove that I did) but there’s only so much a girl can take…but because I’m not fashion WEAK, it’s all worth it in the end.
If you’re completely uninterested in my NYFW updates, you may be interested in this. Still fashion week related (there’s really nothing else that matters until after Thursday, sorry) but this is totally off the runway. One trend seen all over the streets this fashion week — beanies.
Exciting news! ChiCityFashion is doing something for the first time ever on February 21….
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I openly admit to having an addiction to sunglasses. It started as a high school “hobby” and and it grew to be quite the obsession. There’s something about a good pair of sunnies I can’t resist…and not just the kind that protect your eyes.
In most interviews I’ve done, a common question I get asked is “what’s your favorite item in your closet?” Now, this is a tough one to answer. It could be something I wear the most, an item I stare at quite often but rarely wear, or even a piece with an interesting story. Although it’s difficult to pin-point just one item I love most, I tend to give answers that incorporate a story. It gives these possessions more depth and really shows people that fashion isn’t about having a bunch of designer stuff and showing it off. And that’s where we’re going in today’s post.
