Over the weekend I spent the most amazing day with some of my favorite people in Chicago by participating in the first ever 3 Stops 4 Humanity (#3s4h) put together by the Habitat For Humanity Chicago Youth Board.

Chicago Event: Ted Baker Breakfast + Opening Party
Yesterday morning I attended the media breakfast at the newly opened Ted Baker store in Chicago. This was my first time visiting the Chicago location and I was beyond impressed. I have been in 2 Ted Baker stores previously (New York and LA) and I found it so interesting they really take the time to tailor each store to the city they reside in.
For example, Chicago is the “Windy City” so they included subtle accents of wind throughout the Ted Baker store here in Chicago. How creative is that?! I’ve been a Ted Baker fan for a while now but after attending this media event, I am a Ted Baker SUPER FAN.
Tomorrow I will be attending the official Ted Baker opening party. After experiencing the wonderful event at the store yesterday, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the party tomorrow night.
At the media breakfast, I bought a really great Ted Baker piece that I am so excited to wear to the event tomorrow. Here’s a sneak peak…
Once I have a full outfit together, I’ll be sure to tweet and post!
In the mean time, I definitely recommend checking out the new Ted Baker store at 1009 N. Rush Street in Chicago. I know you’ll find something you love!
**Update: Here’s a photo of Corri McFadden, owner of eDrop-Off, and I from the Ted Baker opening party

Chicago Looks: A Street Style Photo Exhibit
Last Friday I attended the opening of the Chicago Looks street style exhibit at Heaven Gallery in Wicker Park. I am all about showcasing Chicago fashion and this event couldn’t have done it better. I regularly keep up with the Chicago street style blogs but I have never seen them displayed like this.
The exhibit features photos from Chicago Looks, Chicago Street Style Scene, The Midwasteland and Tres Awesome…all amazing Chicago street style blogs.
Here’s a few photos I took at the event:

Whoever says Chicago isn’t a fashionable city hasn’t attended the Chicago Looks photo exhibit…so get yourself over to Heaven Gallery (1550 N. Milwaukee) and check out these amazing photos. The photo displays will be up until March 7.

Chicago Event: Brian Atwood at Intermix
I am beyond excited to announce that Chicago-native, Brian Atwood, is making a rare personal appearance at Intermix next Thursday, February 3. I have always wanted to meet him so I cannot wait to attend this event!
I am a huge fan of Brian Atwood shoes (I bought my first 2 pairs this summer…they’re truly the most flattering shoes I own) so I am definitely planning on picking up another pair next week. Possibly another Chi City Closet feature? 🙂
