When it comes to beauty, I feel the same way as I do about fashion — I’m always looking for that cool new emerging brand that’s doing something no one else is doing (which is pretty difficult to do in either industry). Because this is ChiCityFashion (which is quite fashion-focused) I can’t forget about my other love, beauty. I haven’t touched on the subject in a while (with the exception of this) because there hasn’t been anything that’s really stuck out to me worthy of sharing on CCF.

Fashion Outlets Of Chicago
I took a little excursion last Friday afternoon to Rosemont and checked out the much talked about Fashion Outlets of Chicago. Let’s just say when I first heard about this place and “Barneys Warehouse” was brought up, I was already sold. But as always, I had to see for myself.
Stars & Stripes
Because today is that one time of year where you can wear a ton of red, white and blue, as well as stars and stripes, eat as many hotdogs and hamburgers as you want…and no one will judge you for it (or at least I won’t). I figure by now you’ve had enough of the “what to wear to a 4th of July BBQ” posts so I’m just going to talk about a few trends that happen to be very appropriate for today’s festivities — stars and stripes.
To Invest Or Not To Invest
To Invest Or Not To Invest…that is the real question, and the answer is not as easy as one might think. Everyone says “splurge on black pumps a nice blazer, save on trendy items” but of course fashion likes to be difficult and you have to read between the lines. If we actually followed the typical investment rule, no one would be spending $700 on wedge sneakers (and yes I will continue to hate on this trend as long as I have to…and I will not apologize).
So what items should we put a decent amount of money towards? Think of me as your fashion financial advisor (except one who is really bad at math and happens to have expensive taste).
First Collection By Proenza Schouler
Although some may consider Proenza Schouler a new label, designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have actually had the line since 2003. So, to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, my favorite store is doing something pretty spectacular for my favorite designers.
