One of my favorite jewelry designers Alexis Bittar is having a Fall 2012 preview party at the Bucktown location this Saturday, July 14. From 2-4pm guests are invited to sip champagne (just what everyone needs on a Saturday afternoon), enjoy treats and be the first to check out the latest from Alexis Bittar’s Fall ’12 collection.
If you haven’t heard of AZZA by Azeeza Desai Kahn, then note that you will be hearing much of her soon (and remember you heard it on ChiCityFashion first). With her use high quality fabrics, vibrant colors, unique embellishments and the most amazing studs and beading you’ll ever see…what more is there to want? Oh and she’s based in Chicago…even better!
I recently purchased a few of AZZA’s signature blazers and I’ve been dying to share them with you….but I had to make sure I could schedule a photoshoot with Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style so I could ensure the photos would be perfect!
In September of last year I posted about the things I was surprisingly coveting for Fall 2011. First on the list? Loafers. Almost a year later, it’s still one of the things I’m coveting except it’s not necessarily for Fall…and it’s no surprise.
I have been against flats for quite some time now but after fashion weeks, local events, and other random outings (all in heels) I’ve been giving my feet a much needed break (and they’re very thankful by the way). It all started with my Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats (flats are more bearable when spiked and/or studded, in my opinion) and after my most recent trip to NYC, I am now the proud owner of loafers…Jimmy Choo studded loafers to be exact.
Now I’m passing along my new found obsession for loafers onto you. If studs aren’t your thing (then maybe we should reconsider our friendship), there’s glitter, floral print, sequins, leopard and much more. Some call them slippers (but don’t wear these to bed…they deserve to be seen), others claim they’re smoking shoes (but you don’t have to pick up smoking to wear them). Whatever you want to call them, they’re all loafers…and they’re all awesome.
Want to party with Oliver Peoples? On Saturday, July 14 come out to their Rush Street location for live music with DJ Ian Pooley, enjoy snacks and drinks and of course check out the latest in luxury eyewear.
Happy 4th! Whether you’re doing the casual hot dog thing today or going all out in the Hamptons (or somewhere equally as fabulous), here’s a little patriotic fashion inspiration to get your day going.
