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.

Chi City Closet: Celine Luggage Tote

Okay so I admit, I’ve been a little handbag crazy lately (especially because my last Chi City Closet post was about the Louis Vuitton Lockit Clutch) but hey…if I’m on a waitlist for months and the opportunity arises, I gotta take it right?

I’ve had my eye on the Celine Luggage Tote since last year and this thing became IMPOSSIBLE to get. It’s not sold online and stores could barely keep it in. But when I happened to stumble across it in Barney’s yesterday, I couldn’t resist! I really love this bag because at a glance it appears to be a classic style but the lines are really unique and the leather is beautiful. I am so excited to make this my new everyday tote (my PS1 needs a break!)

Chi City Closet: Louis Vuitton Lockit Clutch

Ever since I saw the Louis Vuitton Lockit Clutch on the Fall 2011 runway, I knew I had to have this piece.

I was disappointed when I found out this was not available online and there was an immediate waitlist. Whenever I see a runway piece I can’t stop thinking about, I do whatever I can to get it. I was wait listed at several Louis Vuitton stores and never got a call. After visiting my parents in the burbs last weekend my mom told me she had a surprise for me and the first thing I noticed was a Louis Vuitton box. Clearly my runway stalking has rubbed off on my mom…

I am now the proud owner of the Louis Vuitton Fall ’11 Lockit clutch! This is by far one of the coolest bags I own. I haven’t worn this out yet (so here’s your sneak peak!) but I cannot wait to wear it.

Chi City Closet: Christopher Kane Aqua Clutch

I have been obsessed with the Christopher Kane aqua clutch since I saw his Fall 2011 collection. It’s like a lava lamp meets childhood toy…which obviously makes for the coolest accessory ever.

So when I found out RSVP Gallery was getting these bags, I of course checked the site every day and tweeted them like crazy. Thankfully my hard work paid off…
