I am beyond excited to announce that Chicago-native, Brian Atwood, is making a rare personal appearance at Intermix next Thursday, February 3. I have always wanted to meet him so I cannot wait to attend this event!
I am a huge fan of Brian Atwood shoes (I bought my first 2 pairs this summer…they’re truly the most flattering shoes I own) so I am definitely planning on picking up another pair next week. Possibly another Chi City Closet feature? 🙂

If you’ve been keeping up with your magazine reading, I hope you’ve noticed the new Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaigns are out. Although many designers have turned to short videos to accompany their ads, there’s nothing like a real stand-out photo in your favorite fashion magazine.
Check out my top five favorite campaign photos for Spring 2011.
Iselin Steiro for Chloe
This photo is just so cool, fresh and upbeat…you can’t help but smile when looking at this. It’s simple but it makes a statement. I’m also going to buy those shorts when they become available 🙂
Lindsey Wixson for McQueen
First off, I love Lindsey Wixson. She is a fierce model, I love her signature pout…and she’s only 16.! How can you not love her? Â Every time I come across this photo, I just can’t stop staring. Absolute perfection.
Karlie Kloss for Dior
Karlie Kloss just seems like such a cool girl. I think we’d make great friends. But besides that, she is WORKING these looks for Dior S/S ’11. She looks sexy yet sophisticated and the look in her eyes say, “You know you want to wear this…” (and I do!)
Tati Cotliar, Kinga Rajzak, Mariacarla Boscono, & Arizona Muse for Prada
With such a vibrant and eccentric collection, it would take a certain angle and style of photography to really capture the beauty of the collection. It was a tough thing to pull off but these photos are perfection. It’s like a Willy Wonka fiesta at the zoo…on acid…in the best way possible.
Julia Saner for Valentino
This was my favorite dress from Valentino’s Spring collection and it also happened to be the first look to walk down the runway…worn by none other than Julia Saner herself. I love the look on her face in this photo because it’s like someone caught her off guard while reading classic poetry…all while wearing Valentino of course.
If you were wondering why I have been posting about Gilt’s sales within the past couple of weeks it’s not only because it’s my favorite members-only flash sale shopping site (that’s part of it of course), but I have been selected to be a Gilt Brand Ambassador. Very exciting!
Because Gilt is such a popular designer sale site, they have a waitlist to become a member. Being a a Gilt Brand Ambassador, I have an exclusive invitation for you to join right now! Click here to become a member.
So each week, I will be giving you a sneak peak at my favorite sales happening on Gilt.
Here’s what’s happening this week…
So what are you waiting for, join now and get shopping!
Carrying on from my previous post.
[I promise there are more winners in this post…and by winners I mean best dressed]
Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
I thought I was dreaming when I saw Angelina step on the Red Carpet in COLOR. I mean, this is truly a historical moment. Let’s all embrace this…and hope she continues to wear more color on the RC because she looks stunning in this emerald green. Go Angie!
Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive
Let me start off by saying you cannot go wrong with Armani Prive. You have to have a really terrible stylist to make Armani Prive look bad. Thankfully, Anne has a really awesome stylist (who happens to be Rachel Zoe) therefore this dress on this girl was fool-proof. Absolutely gorgeous. Perfection from head-to-toe. Best dressed of the night.
Christina Hendricks in Ramona Kaveza
I understand it is not easy to find a suitable dress for a woman with a large chest, but she makes the WORST choices when it comes to the red carpet. It’s like someone with linebacker shoulders wearing a halter top! I’m also not a fan of the red dress, with the red carpet AND the red hair. Plus the frizzy hair so close to the ruffled shoulder is all wrong.
Elisabeth Moss in Donna Karan
She tends to look angry and a bit frumpy on the Red Carpet but she really got this right. Although it was one of the many green dresses on the RC last night, Elisabeth really rocked this look. Love the detailing in the bodice, it’s a beautiful shade of green and she looks really happy and confident. Always a plus!
Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung
I had no idea who this was because I haven’t seen True Grit, nor do I care to see movies with such a drab color scheme, but I am definitely keeping this girl on my radar. Young girls often go too mature or too childish on the red carpet and her overall look was perfectly age appropriate. I also love me some Prabal on the RC 🙂
Jennifer Lawrence in Louis Vuitton
It wasn’t my favorite of the night but it works for her. She looks pretty. It’s nice to see some Louis Vuitton on the Red Carpet. But that’s about it.
Julianne Moore in Lanvin
Officially convinced Julianne’s goal is to be on the worst dressed list at every event. Well congrats Ms. Moore…you win! [for worst dressed of the night]
Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta
I would have hated this dress on anyone else but it totally works for her. The color and ruffles are youthful but the silhouette is sophisticated, so for a young woman like her it’s perfect. She always surprises us on the Red Carpet (which I love) so she gets an IN from me.
Leighton Meester in Burberry
Okay so I know a lot of people hated this but if you have seen Leighton’s previous Red Carpet choices, you should be bowing down to her for choosing this dress (trust me, it could have been much worse). I actually love this dress. I would definitely wear it. Love the slit. LOVE the bag. And I can’t wait for new episodes of Gossip Girl.
Olivia Wilde in Marchesa
First to arrive on the Red Carpet, and I couldn’t stop thinking about this dress throughout the night. A lot of people said it was too much. She’s a young, GORGEOUS, talented actress and she’s at a prestigious awards show in Beverly Hills…there is no such thing as too much. I am obsessed with this dress and I’m obsessed with Olivia in this dress.
PS. If you know where I can get Olivia’s gold spiked Christian Louboutin shoes, tell me…because I need them
