My Favorite Moments From 2011

2011 was a pretty great year. Now that I look back, I got to experience a lot of amazing things and I’m so grateful for these opportunities. I hope you had an amazing 2011…but let’s make 2012 even better!

Here’s a look at of some of my favorite moments from this past year…

Getting a good camera! So I can share better quality pictures with you, my lovely readers, and also so I can take sick pictures like this…

Having ChiCityFashion be featured in the latest issue of CS Magazine…along with my favorite blogger friends.

It was my goal this year to make it to the McQueen exhibit at the Met, and thanks to their lovely extension…I made it!

Photographed by Tommy Ton (without even knowing it!) my first day at Fashion Week in New York this year. And seeing it on Style.com the next day…unreal!

I think this one takes the cake. Meeting my favorite designers (Jack and Lazaro), designing a custom version of my very favorite bag (the PS1), and it all led up to this…

Photobucket

I still can’t believe I own the only custom PS1. Officially the most treasured item in my closet.

I couldn’t have asked for a better year. Thank you all for your support and your awesome comments. Have a happy new year!

Featured on LoLuFullyLoaded

One of YouTube’s top bloggers, Lo Luthringshausen is one to watch…AND she’s not even out of high school yet! So I was flattered when she asked to interview me her Who To Know page. See how I fell in love with fashion, my blogging advice and more on Who To Know: Jena Gambaccini.

Chicago Blogger Network Holiday Gift Guide

As a member of the Chicago Blogger Network, I’m very excited about the very first CBN Holiday Gift Guide. Over 30 bloggers chose one stylish item for the guide and I am a little embarrassed/not surprised to say….

Photobucket

Mine was by far the most expensive choice. But let’s be honest…who would’t want the Christopher Kane Aqua Clutch? And if you know me at all, you know that this isn’t the blog to read if you’re looking for budget-friendly fashions. It’s just not my forte!

So anyway, go check out the Chicago Blogger Network Holiday Gift Guide. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
