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….

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.

Chi City Closet: My Custom Proenza Schouler PS1

This is the ultimate Chi City Closet post; where I’m finally sharing photos of my custom Proenza Schouler PS1! You got a sneak peak last week in the Proenza Surprise post but I had to build up the hype just a little bit more, right? 🙂

This is the medium Proenza Schouler PS1 in purple python with black python trim and a neon yellow suede interior. It’s officially the most amazing item in my closet and I don’t think anything will ever top it. Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone at Proenza Schouler, including Jack and Lazaro, for helping me design this bag. Thank you to Charity Buzz…because without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. And thank you to Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style for taking the amazing photos of me with my custom PS1!

It was actually the 2 year anniversary of ChiCityFashion.com on Friday so this officially my celebratory post. Thank you all for supporting my blog for the last 2 years. It means the world to me.

A Proenza Surprise

Remember this post from my New York trip in July? Well the day has finally arrived…and I received my custom Proenza Schouler PS1 I designed with Jack and Lazaro this summer! I still can’t believe this is real, but yeah…it happened.

I want to share with you amazing photos of this bag, but unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time (especially in daylight…which we get like 5 hours of now) to do that. So for now, here’s a sneak preview including me opening the package from New York and the special engraved plaque on the inside with my initials.

Stay tuned for the most exciting post in ChiCityFashion history (aka pictures of this amazing bag) next week!

Gifts To Give & To Get on Possessionista

I always appreciate a blog that writes about things I like (clothes) and does it in witty, sarcastic and all around funny way. And who does that best? Possessionista of course. So when she asked me about the one gift I want to get this Christmas and the one I’d like to give, I was excited to share…but even more excited to see how it would come together.
