Dalla Nonna Calendar Necklaces

I recently came across a really unique jewelry line (which happens to be based in Chicago!) that’s known for these special calendar necklaces. They come in silver, rose gold, white gold and yellow gold with a variety of stones that can be placed on a meaningful date. Whether it’s an anniversary, birthday or any other special occasion, I think these necklaces make THE perfect gift.

If you’re not a necklace person, these also come in wrap bracelets that can be made with or without extra charms. How can you not love these?!

Chicago Designer Elise Bergman Heads To New York Fashion Week

As a Chicago fashion supporter, I’m very excited to announce that local designer Elise Bergman has been chosen by Diet Pepsi to showcase her hometown style and bring a refreshing perspective to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Along with 3 other designers, Elise has teamed up with fashion expert Simon Doonan who will serve as a mentor while each designer creates 3 Fall looks. These looks will be unveiled at the Jonathan Adler-designed Diet Pepsi Style Studio Runway Show at Lincoln Center this Thursday.

It’s all happening this Thursday, February 9. The best of luck to Elise…way to represent Chicago!

Spring 2012 Trend: The Athlete

I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but today’s post was inspired by the Superbowl. Although I only paid attention during commercials, I had an idea of what was going on…and all I could think of was Spring ’12.

Ever wish you could turn your track pants into a stylish outfit? I still wouldn’t recommend trying that but you are in luck for Spring. With windbreaker jackets, side striped pants and mesh seen on the runways last September, it’s looking like the athlete is in for Spring 2012. However, the designers elevated these items to look like high quality fashion-forward pieces. So please don’t leave your house in work out clothes, unless of course you’re going to the gym.

Here’s a look at some of the sports-inspired looks for Spring ’12…

Red Carpet Fashion: 2012 SAG Awards (Part 1)

Did you watch the SAG awards last night? If not, you didn’t miss anything…and plus you have me to give you all the red carpet dish. So I just saved you 4 hours…you’re welcome.

I really wish someone would work a print on the red carpet because everyone either does a solid color and it’s kinda boring or a pale skin tone color that’s super boring. However, I didn’t hate everyone’s look so let’s start judging…
