Tory Burch Spring ’12 Chicago Fashion Show

Last night I attended the Tory Burch Spring ’12 fashion show in Chicago with Kelly Ryan O’Brien of Idols & Egos and the Chicago Blogger Network. This was seriously one of the best fashion events I’ve been to in Chicago so far. From the fashionable crowd and the spectacular cocktail hour to the beautiful Tory Burch clothes and Q&A with Tory and Hal Rubenstein from InStyle; it was an all around fantastic event.

It was also super fun running into Kelsey Kreiling from LaundryMagazine and Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style.

And Art Smith…love him!

It was really cool to hear that this was Tory Burch’s first ever runway show (she normally does presentations) and it was her first time showing her collection outside of New York. So yeah I guess that means…Chicago is pretty awesome (I already knew that, but it was definitely reassuring).

So let’s get to it. Here are some of my favorite looks from the Tory Burch Spring ’12 collection…

Four Seasons SPArty

Last night I attended the SPArty at the Four Seasons Chicago. I was so thankful to be invited to something like this because let’s be honest…I can always use a massage after a long day. Everyone on the Four Seasons staff is wonderful and it was such a great way to end the day. A massage, champagne and delicious bites…yeah it was pretty awesome.

(sorry, these were all taken on my iPhone)

This was the kick off to the Four Seasons’ first ever global #FSspa chats that will be happening on Twitter until November 18. Be sure to follow @FourSeasons and @FSChicago to keep up with the chats! More info here.

Leopard is Neutral

Leopard, and animal print in general, is something that I’ve always liked in small doses but never really incorporated into my wardrobe. After including a little bit of leopard in my What I’m [Surprisingly] Coveting for Fall 2011 post and actually purchasing my first leopard piece, an Alexander McQueen leopard print wrap bracelet, I’m finally giving in. After all…leopard IS neutral.

Check out my favorite [tasteful] leopard picks below. (remember, leopard can sometimes look cheap so make sure it’s a tasteful piece!)
