Let’s be honest, my life revolves around fashion and food…and there’s nothing I love more than giving people restaurant and shopping recommendations in Chicago. So I was pumped to find out about this new website urbantag where I can share my favorite Chicago dining and shopping destinations in one place. Exciting news–the site launches TODAY!
See where you might find me about town on my urbantag page.
Very exciting news about one of my favorite shoe designers (who also happens to be ridiculously good looking)–Brian Atwood!
Starting Wednesday, March 28th, Gilt.com will be the exclusive retailer for Brian Atwood’s brand new line of handbags. Gilt will feature 4 main styles from the collection – the Carla, Theodora, Kate and the Iside – and they will continue to be the exclusive retailer throughout the spring season of these gorgeous bags. Here’s a look at what’s to come…
The Carla is a basic envelope clutch that comes in a variety of materials and colors from black suede to color blocked snakeskin.
The Theodora is a miniaudiere hardcase constructed from inlayed enamel that’s the perfect statement bag; great for a cocktail party or black tie event.

There is nothing I love more than a really unique pair of shoes. Whether they’re actually worn or just admired on a shelf, shoes are what make me the happiest. And the Prada flame heels are no exception.
So between the car prints and the flames, Prada Spring ’12 was a stand-out collection…especially the accessories. I was beyond thrilled when I found out that the shoes from the collection were actually made into production! When it comes to certain avant-garde accessories, they’re not always made into production or picked up by a store so it can be disappointing after waiting months for the piece to become available…and it never does.
But thankfully the fashion gods were on my side for Prada Spring ’12 and the flame heels are definitely happening. Take a look at some of my favorites from the collection…
Prada ‘Flower Tail Light’ Wedge
Prada Bow Tail Light Slide Sandal
Prada ‘Tail Light Flame’ Sandal
Prada Flame Wedge Sandal
(my #1 pick)

Are you into the Prada flames for Spring ’12? If they’re too much for you but you like the idea, try the thong sandals…perfect way to subtly incorporate some flames into your shoe collection (and an acceptable way to wear flip flops beyond the beach).
