Chi City Closet: CFDA + eBay Fashion “You Can’t Fake Fashion” Tote

When I first heard about the CFDA + eBay Fashion “You Can’t Fake Fashion” campaign, I was immediately interested. I love the fact that designers have decided to participate and partner up with eBay to promote the importance of authenticity, especially when it comes to shopping on eBay.

So when I found out that 50 designers created unique one-of-a-kind totes that reflected their design aesthetic for this campaign, I knew I had to own one. So thankfully, I got one before they all sold out…and I’m happy to say that I’m now the proud owner of the Rodarte “You Can’t Fake Fashion” limited edition tote.

Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style was featured yesterday on CNN.com! The article, Colorful layers of style on Chicago’s streets, features Amy’s favorite street style photos along with what she loves about the fashion here in Chicago.

And I was so excited to see that Amy included me in this story! The photo, also seen on Refinery29, includes 2 of my favorite neon accessories…so I’m glad they got some more exposure
