Okay so I admit, I’ve been a little handbag crazy lately (especially because my last Chi City Closet post was about the Louis Vuitton Lockit Clutch) but hey…if I’m on a waitlist for months and the opportunity arises, I gotta take it right?
I’ve had my eye on the Celine Luggage Tote since last year and this thing became IMPOSSIBLE to get. It’s not sold online and stores could barely keep it in. But when I happened to stumble across it in Barney’s yesterday, I couldn’t resist! I really love this bag because at a glance it appears to be a classic style but the lines are really unique and the leather is beautiful. I am so excited to make this my new everyday tote (my PS1 needs a break!)
After Proenza Schouler for J Brand, the next designer collaboration for the denim company is a tough act to follow. However, I think choosing Christopher Kane couldn’t be a more perfect match. After killing it the last couple seasons with neon laser cut looks for Spring ’11 and an aqua-filled Fall ’11, there’s no doubt in my mind this J Brand collab will be a huge success.
The collection will be available on Net-a-Porter this month. Here’s a peak at Christopher Kane for J Brand.
One of the best things to happen to the Chicago fashion scene, LaundryMagazine is starting a new venture today. And that venture is Dotshop!
I’ve always loved how LaundryMagazine really embraces Chicago fashion, and now they’re taking it one step further. Dotshop is a new online boutique featuring the work of emerging designers from Chicago. This new concept will feature 3 limited-edition pieces each month, designed for Dotshop or chosen from a designer’s collection. In addition to the e-commerce site, Dotshop will include profiles with each designer and editorial photo shoot displaying the items available for sale. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from each Dotshop sale will support LaundryMagazine’s New Designer scholarship fund!
This is really going to take Chicago fashion and online shopping to another level…and I can’t wait! Will you be shopping Dotshop today? Shop here www.laundrymagazine.com/dotshop
I’ve always loved stacking bracelets, especially with my Bvlgari watch I never take off, but now that the Man Repeller has coined the phrase “arm party” my bracelet stacking has gone to another level.
I personally like to mix it up with wrap bracelets, skinny bangles and beaded bracelets. There are so many options though…the possibilities are endless! So I picked my favorite bracelets that you can mix and match for the perfect arm party.
Chan Luu Rose Gold Wrap Bracelet
Made Her Think Mini Metal Thorn Cuff
Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Marc Skinny Hinge Bangle
Tom Binns Tekno Chic Multicolor Bracelet
Vince Camuto Green Skinny Bangle
Latch by Laura Jastram Handmade Chain Bracelet (Chicago designer!)
