Chicago Event: Ted Baker Breakfast + Opening Party

Yesterday morning I attended the media breakfast at the newly opened Ted Baker store in Chicago. This was my first time visiting the Chicago location and I was beyond impressed. I have been in 2 Ted Baker stores previously (New York and LA) and I found it so interesting they really take the time to tailor each store to the city they reside in.

For example, Chicago is the “Windy City” so they included subtle accents of wind throughout the Ted Baker store here in Chicago. How creative is that?! I’ve been a Ted Baker fan for a while now but after attending this media event, I am a Ted Baker SUPER FAN.

Tomorrow I will be attending the official Ted Baker opening party. After experiencing the wonderful event at the store yesterday, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the party tomorrow night.

At the media breakfast, I bought a really great Ted Baker piece that I am so excited to wear to the event tomorrow. Here’s a sneak peak…

Once I have a full outfit together, I’ll be sure to tweet and post!

In the mean time, I definitely recommend checking out the new Ted Baker store at 1009 N. Rush Street in Chicago. I know you’ll find something you love!

Chicago Event: Brian Atwood at Intermix

I am beyond excited to announce that Chicago-native, Brian Atwood, is making a rare personal appearance at Intermix next Thursday, February 3. I have always wanted to meet him so I cannot wait to attend this event!

I am a huge fan of Brian Atwood shoes (I bought my first 2 pairs this summer…they’re truly the most flattering shoes I own) so I am definitely planning on picking up another pair next week. Possibly another Chi City Closet feature? 🙂

Barneys Chicago Holiday Windows

I went into Barneys yesterday and I could not believe how amazing the window display was (I also couldn’t believe that was my first time seeing it). Obviously, Barneys always has the most fantastic holiday window displays, but this one was extra special to me. It involves my 3 favorite things in the entire world…fashion, food and Chicago.

Seeing the “faces” of two of my favorite chefs, Rick Bayless and Grant Achatz (who happen to have phenomenal restaurants in Chicago), in the window of my absolute favorite store was pretty awesome.

To Simon Doonan and the Barneys team, I salute you 🙂
