Chi City Closet: Prabal Gurung T-Shirt

As you can tell from my tweets and posts, I absolutely love Prabal Gurung. His Spring 2012 collection was my absolute favorite but a lot of the pieces are a little out of my price range. Which is why I was so excited to find out he was designing a t-shirt based on the print from that collection. The minute I saw it was available, I knew it had to be mine.

This is one of the best quality t-shirts I’ve ever owned…it’s super soft and beyond comfortable. I even wore it the day I got it to the Ann Taylor grand re-opening event!

Creatures of the Wind on Net-a-Porter

As someone who obsessively checks “what’s new” on Net-a-Porter just about everyday (even though I know new items are only posted Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) I was beyond excited to see they recently picked up Creatures of the Wind. COTW Designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters graduated from SAIC in Chicago and it’s amazing to see their growing success in the fashion scene. Although I don’t know them personally, I’m so proud to see such success coming from Chicago-native designers. Always love a good boost to our fashion reputation in this city 🙂

Big things to come from this design duo in the future! Check it out…

Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung Sunglasses

I have been stalking these since the day they hit the runway (hmmm seems to be a pattern) and now the Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung sunglasses are finally available!

Seen throughout Prabal’s GENIUS Spring 2012 collection, these sweet sunnies are available in 4 different colors on the Linda Farrow site.

Because I’m a sucker for purple, I knew these had to be mine…

And thankfully they will be. A simple *add to cart* and these babies will be traveling across the pond to my front door in no time. Can’t wait to share pics once I get them!

Featured Manicure On FabFitFun

I was very excited to see the other day that one of my manicures was featured on Giuliana Rancic’s FabFitFun! They’re dedicating the month of March to manis (why not?) so it’s really great that someone as nail polish obsessed as I am had the “mani of the day” during this fabulous month.
