We’ve discussed the not so punk and the almost punk from last night’s Met Gala…but what about the punkest of them all? These ladies BROUGHT IT. Not saying they all should have (I’m talking to you, Madonna) but I appreciate the effort.
For the last and final Met Gala post of 2013…

If you know me at all you’ll be very surprised to see what this post is about. Although I wouldn’t consider myself a kid-person (I speak to them like an adult and it’s awkward), I do love a well dressed child. With designer childrenswear lines on the rise from brands like Milly and Oscar de la Renta as well as kid street style blogs such as Hide And Go Style, I thought it would be fun showcase some my favorite kids in fashion. Why not start your Thursday off with some major cuteness?

I admit, for many years (6 to be exact) Uggs were my go-to winter boots. Yes, I know you may be thinking to yourself “and she calls herself a fashion expert?” We all make fashion mistakes and I apologize for this one. Hey at least I’m honest, right?
Although that nice shearling interior might seem cozy, when you’re trekking through snow and slush these boots are bound to get soaked…which they did…leaving my feet cold, wet and sad. So why did I continue to buy them for so many years? This question remains unanswered.
In Chicago, we’re all about practicality when it comes to fashion but I think this is a combination everyone can benefit from (except if you’re in LA, then you can continue wearing your flip flops in December and we’ll all hate you for it).
Although they can be tricky to capture, I wanted try some night time style photos for What Why Where. These were taken last week before the Burberry party (so if you thought I took photos the same day I posted them, you’re wrong…and I’m sorry) and this is almost my exact outfit for the event. Can you spot the difference?
As I mentioned last week, there was a huge event celebrating the new Burberry Chicago store on Thursday. I think it’s safe to say it was THE party of the year. It’s no surprise Skoog Productions was behind all of this, and Melissa Skoog was just named one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 (congrats Melissa!)
Whether or not you’re a Nova Check fan, anyone who appreciates fashion, architecture, technology and/or art will love Burberry’s new Michigan Avenue space.
