Chicago’s own Luis Torres from ChiCityTrends has been chosen to move onto the next round in the Nokia x Elle Style Correspondent contest. Help him get to New York Fashion Week by “liking” his photo on the Nokia Facebook page.
Here’s how to vote for Luis:
Early this week I posted about the “Make Your Own Havaianas” Beach Pop-Up event I was hosting. If you didn’t get the chance to attend, there’s still a chance for you to make your own Havaianas. The pop-up will be at North Avenue beach through July 31 and will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 11am to 7pm.
I made these.
I would love to see what you come up with!
Despite the weather, it was a really fun event. I got to hang out with my fellow Style Tribe members, host with my talented friend Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style, and I wore my new Proenza Schouler SS ’11 dress with my Missoni x Havaianas flip flops…what more could I ask for?

Last summer I had the pleasure of interviewing Dana Levy of Dana Rebecca Designs. If you’re not familiar with her jewelry, I highly suggest checking it out because it’s truly unique and absolutely stunning.
I was so excited when I checked my mail the other day to see an invitation from DRD…she’s unveiling her 2011 collection next weekend! I cannot wait to see all of the new amazing pieces. Thankfully I got my hands on some photos from her new collection, but you’ll just have to wait until after the event for more 🙂
In Chicago we have 2 seasons–frigid and humid. It’s now humid season (besides the past few days we’ve been having…which have been AWESOME). So it’s time to stock up on some beauty products that will keep you looking fabulous, even when it’s 100% humidity.
So let’s thank Refinery29 for providing us with an easy list of the must-have beauty products every Chicago girl should have this summer. See Weather-Wise Beauty For A Hot Chicago Summer
Has anyone tried these products? Because I’m thinking about heading to Sephora and Ulta and buying all of these right now.
I normally don’t freak out over the “inbetween collections” (meaning Resort & Pre-Fall) like I do for the “main attractions” (Spring and Fall). For some reason though, this particular Resort season has really blown me away. It didn’t hit me at first, but then I really studied the collections and realized a major trend.
Neon
Scuba
There is neon, there is scuba, then there’s neon scuba…

Many of you are probably thinking, “why would I ever want to wear neon scuba?” Well…why not? Neon is awesome. Although space is limited for a Twitter bio, I made sure to include “it shouldn’t be on if it isn’t neon” in mine. And as for scuba…what better says RESORT than SCUBA?
Unfortunately, neon flippers are not included…
