Topshop Topman Lollapalooza After Party

This weekend, I attended the Topshop/Topman Lollapalooza after party at Bar Deville. The venue was super laid back which goes along with the whole music festival theme. There were all sorts of people there; from those who were at Lolla all day in their cut-offs and tank tops to those decked out in dresses and sky high heels. And yes, I drank PBR in 6 inch Louboutins…so what? 🙂

Ran into Jeff from The Midwestyle!

This was such a fun event, and I got to see Tinie Tempah perform…which was really awesome. I’ve heard a few of his songs before but it was way cooler to see him live.

So basically (once again), Zapwater killed it. And I am so looking forward to more Topshop events and even more so…the TOPSHOP OPENING NEXT MONTH!

Fall 2011 Obsessions: Christopher Kane, Miu Miu, Missoni

I have many obsessions when it comes to fashion, however there are a few things I have in mind that I absolutely must own for this coming Fall season. It may come as a shock that Proenza is not incorporated into this post, but let’s be real…it’s only August and Fall merchandise is just rolling out. Plenty of time for some new Fall 2011 obsessions 🙂

For now, here’s what I’m coveting this Fall…

Photobucket Miu Miu Glitter & Suede Bootie

After studying the Fall ’11 collections, I couldn’t help but obsess over all of the Miu Miu glitter shoes. Of all the styles and colors though, this one sticks with me the most. Glitter and Miu Miu…do you need anything more?

Photobucket Christopher Kane Short Samantha Aqua wool-crepe dress

I already posted about how much I love my Christopher Kane aqua clutch…so you can imagine how I felt when I came across this this dress. The neckline and pockets are made of the same material as the bag…genius!

Photobucket Missoni Altea Wool-Blend coat

It’s very difficult for me to even think about wearing a coat right now (especially because it’s been warm in Chicago for no more than 2 months) but it’s Missoni…and it’s awesome. I like how it can be dressed up or down and it has that classic Missoni look we all know and I love.

Those are my key obsessions for the time being, but I know there will be many more to come. What are you coveting for Fall 2011?

Supertrash Blogger Contest

Last month I posted about my new Supertrash Daimy dress that I’m absolutely obsessed with. Well, that dress got me entered in the Supertrash blogger contest, exclusively on their Facebook page!

There’s only 6 of us so I’d love it if you could vote for me. All you have to do is just “like” my photo.

Thank you in advance!

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Yesterday, I posted about my amazing weekend in NYC but I had to elaborate on one thing…the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met.

Photobucket

Ever since I heard about this back in April, I told myself I would do whatever I could to make it to this exhibit. And I am SO glad I did. It was truly a unique experience and it was an honor to be in the presence of Alexander McQueen’s genius work.

Photobucket

The dark atmosphere with somewhat eerie sounds in contrast with the intricate and beautiful clothes was just mind blowing. Footage of his most famous runway shows were playing on screens around the exhibit which were amazing to see.

It was so interesting to see all of the different types of people there because it was definitely unexpected. From the shorts and tennis shoes tourists to the fashion obsessed twenty-somethings in their Louboutins, there was quite the diverse crowd which really shows how many people love and respect Alexander McQueen.

Photobucket

Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to take photos in this exhibit (which I clearly didn’t listen to…I had to get some pictures to show you guys!) so I don’t have the best footage here. But I did my best, and I hope these inspire you to go see the exhibit yourself. This is the final week of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. So if you’re in NYC, go see it and if you’re not…do whatever you can to get there. I promise you won’t regret it.
