Chicago Event: Who What Wear Book Signing

Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power, founders of Who What Wear will be in Chicago next week to promote their 2nd book, “What to Wear, Where!” I am a HUGE fan of Who What Wear (I read it daily) so I am beyond excited to attend their book signing and meet the ladies behind one my favorite fashion websites.

Guests at the book signing will be able to preview ten styles of the W3 shoe collection, which is designed by both girls in collaboration with JustFab.com and are the exclusive shoes worn by Hillary and Katherine throughout the book. You say “shoes” and I’m ALWAYS in!

So come to The Book Cellar at 4735 N. Lincoln on Friday, March 18 to meet the fashion mavens/authors/shoe designers/awesome women…Hillary and Katherine of WHO WHAT WEAR.
