I admit, Chicago is no New York. We are a city that actually sometimes sleeps, our pizza clearly isn’t everyone’s favorite and we don’t have a cool boutique on every corner. With that said, I love sleep, I prefer Neapolitan style pizza and we just had four awesome new stores open this month. Care to find out who has graced this fine city with their presence?

Hairy Styles
When it comes to the hairy styles of calf/pony hair, it’s something I was not always a big fan of. It was either leather or fur for me, and nothing in between. But then these Phillip Lim loafers came into my life while in London, and next thing I know there’s another pair of pony hair shoes on my feet and I’m writing a blog post about this furry material that I used to ignore.
So today I’d like you to join me in a conversation not about One Direction but about some other hairy styles…
Everything’s Better With Leather…Trim
If you’re a vegan or involved with PETA, I suggest you stop reading now. If you’re a leather-enthusiast like I am (fake leather counts too…as long as it’s Stella-quality) then you know the feeling you get when you put on a leather jacket and you just feel so damn good.
Although I love anything fully leather, there’s something about it just being a trim on a garment that really takes your look to the next level. It’s like the ultimate accent fabric and it can be used in so many ways. I picked out some of my favorite leather-trimmed items available right now to show you the versatility of the look and hopefully inspire you to take a fashion risk with your next outfit.
