What do you get when you mix Pitchfork music festival, Uber, Nellcote and Birchbox? Free brunch! Intrigued? Keep reading.
West Loop hot spot Nellcote is going all out to celebrate their new weekend brunch (known as Weekend Review) and it’s all happening Pitchfork weekend (July 14th & 15th). There will be a DJ spinning both days plus free Uber rides to Pitchfork! And if that wasn’t enough, I’m giving away a free brunch for Saturday, July 14th at Nellcote.
Want to party with Oliver Peoples? On Saturday, July 14 come out to their Rush Street location for live music with DJ Ian Pooley, enjoy snacks and drinks and of course check out the latest in luxury eyewear.
Happy 4th! Whether you’re doing the casual hot dog thing today or going all out in the Hamptons (or somewhere equally as fabulous), here’s a little patriotic fashion inspiration to get your day going.
The couture shows in Paris started this week and the most anticipated of the bunch was Dior (remember the whole Galliano ordeal and how they haven’t really had a creative director for over a year?)
Raf Simons made his debut as Dior creative director with the Fall 2012 couture collection that walked the runway for the first time yesterday. After the whole “who’s going to be the next creative director?” mess (and an abundance of rumors) I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with what Raf did with this collection.
Dior has always been known for ladylike silhouettes, but he took it to another level by offering feminine silhouettes 2 ways–the classic way and with an edge. He showed a lot of ankle-length dresses in light pink and white but also showed this silhouette in darker, edgier prints. Also seen throughout this collection were little peplum tops (most at that “is it a dress or is it a top?” awkward length) paired with pants. When it comes to couture, designers tend to go for this “dress with pants” type of look, which I find interesting because I can’t see this translating to real life. However, it’s couture….which has nothing to do with real life. So take a look at these pretty pictures and decide for yourself. How do you think Raf Simons did with his debut collection as Dior creative director?
Last week, Fashion Files Magazine featured 4 Chicago bloggers and their go-to summer style…and yours truly made the cut. In the company of Chitown Fashionista, Tres Awesome and Possessionista, I’m honored to be in such great company!
