So now that I’m blogging full time, I’ve decided to incorporate a little more personal style into ChiCityFashion. By no means will this turn into a personal style blog…but it doesn’t hurt to mix things up, right?
You might be thinking…what’s up with the title of this post? What Why Where has to do with how I’ll be laying out my personal style posts from now on. Things will make more sense once you click that “continue reading” button…
Now that my wardrobe is just about ready for Fall, I’m giving you the opportunity to shop my closet! See the first batch of items in part 1 of my closet clean and here’s some more items of mine you can bid on at shopedropoff.com.
If you’re a vegan or involved with PETA, I suggest you stop reading now. If you’re a leather-enthusiast like I am (fake leather counts too…as long as it’s Stella-quality) then you know the feeling you get when you put on a leather jacket and you just feel so damn good.
Although I love anything fully leather, there’s something about it just being a trim on a garment that really takes your look to the next level. It’s like the ultimate accent fabric and it can be used in so many ways. I picked out some of my favorite leather-trimmed items available right now to show you the versatility of the look and hopefully inspire you to take a fashion risk with your next outfit.
Friday night I attended the Crash The Gala After Party, hosted by Ikram Goldman, which celebrated the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Art Institute.
From the food and decor to the music and company, I couldn’t have asked for a better night! Ikram had a make-your-own sundae bar (2 to be exact), hot dog stands, popcorn machines, pizza pass-arounds, and so much more. She even took on the roll of MC for the night (which was beyond amazing by the way). Take a look at some of my photos from the party…

Whether you’re in LA, New York, Chicago or even Paris and Milan…floral pants are everywhere this season. What I love most about them is their versaility. From the silhouette (wide leg, skinny, trousers, etc) to the variety of colors and floral patterns, there’s a pair for everyone!
My obsession began with these Alexander Wang jeans, and I’m now on the hunt for another fun pair! Here’s a look at my favorites…
Pencey Standard
