I always appreciate a blog that writes about things I like (clothes) and does it in witty, sarcastic and all around funny way. And who does that best? Possessionista of course. So when she asked me about the one gift I want to get this Christmas and the one I’d like to give, I was excited to share…but even more excited to see how it would come together.
“…but Jena’s platformed feet are planted firmly in the ground. It’s just that the ground usually happens to be the first floor of Barneys.”
This is all very true, but you’ll just have to click here to view the full story!
I admit, I am quite the feather enthusiast (it even says so on my Tumblr…so you know it’s the truth). How I haven’t posted about my favorite feather finds yet is beyond me. So, today on ChiCityfashion…it’s all about feathers!

Have any favorite feather finds of your own?
I’ve never been a big reader but I absolutely love fashion books (probably because they’re mostly made up of large, visually appealing images). I’ve been collecting them for the last few years but there’s always more to add to my wishlist. I compiled some that I already own along with a few that are currently on my mind, but regardless…there’s a fashion book for everyone and these books would make any fashion enthusiast quite the happy camper this holiday season.
Fashion for beginners: The Little Dictionary of Fashion
For those who don’t mind a little bit of nudity: Kate Moss by Mario Testino
A lot of pretty pictures: Harper’s Bazaar Greatest Hits
**I just bought this over the weekend and met Glenda Bailey herself…such an inspirational woman! This book is awesome.
Top of the list (Carine can do no wrong): Carine Roitfelt Irreverent
Fashion foodies rejoice: American Fashion Cookbook

What are your favorite fashion books? Have any on your mind for the holidays?
Current/Elliott has been killing it lately with their jeans. They’ve taken denim to another level, especially with the popular leopard skinnies. I was looking on Net-a-Porter last weekend, as I do every day, and I couldn’t take my eyes off the Ankle Skinny low-rise suede jeans…I just had to dedicate a full post to them.
It’s not easy to find high-waisted skinny jeans that look cool. These are an absolute perfect silhouette. To top it off, they’re suede…oh and they’re orange. So I guess you can say, they’re pretty sweet. I’d wear them with my vintage Chloe peasant blouse I got at Modern Vintage last month. Or even with a black Wolford bodysuit and cropped leather jacket.
