I get asked all the time where my favorite places are in Chicago to shop, eat, stay, etc. and although I’ve done a few versions of city guides here on CCF, I found an even better way to share some of my go-tos with you. Even better? You an shop them RIGHT NOW!

I recently received a lovely package from Skirt PR that I absolutely could not wait to open…
It’s a gorgeous Brian Atwood clutch from his new line of handbags, sold exclusively on Gilt!
So when I was getting ready for the Swarovski event Tuesday night, I knew I’d be basing my outfit around this amazing bag. All black. Colorful accessories. But nothing to take away from the clutch. So here it goes…
Top: Kova & T. Pants: Rag & Bone. Shoes: Proena Schouler. Cuff: Alexis Bittar. Other Bracelets: Stella McCartney, Chan Luu, Dannijo, Nina Nguyen. Rings: Cartier, Dana Rebecca, Avanessi, Gucci.
So off to Swarovski I go! This event was to celebrate the unveiling of an exclusive window installation created by students of the Fashion Body & Garment Master’s Program, mentored by Nick Cave, of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
How awesome are the windows?!
It’s not a Chicago fashion event without running into Amy of Chicago Street Style!

The event was really cool. I love the new windows and let’s be honest…how can you not love being in a store that sparkles?
Very exciting news about one of my favorite shoe designers (who also happens to be ridiculously good looking)–Brian Atwood!
Starting Wednesday, March 28th, Gilt.com will be the exclusive retailer for Brian Atwood’s brand new line of handbags. Gilt will feature 4 main styles from the collection – the Carla, Theodora, Kate and the Iside – and they will continue to be the exclusive retailer throughout the spring season of these gorgeous bags. Here’s a look at what’s to come…
The Carla is a basic envelope clutch that comes in a variety of materials and colors from black suede to color blocked snakeskin.
The Theodora is a miniaudiere hardcase constructed from inlayed enamel that’s the perfect statement bag; great for a cocktail party or black tie event.
