ChiCityFashion + Orange Juice & Biscuits Host GLSEN Lounge Presented by ELLE Magazine

In September, I attended a really fun tweet up lounge hosted by my friend Jonathan Valdez of Orange Juice & Biscuits. I’m very excited to announce that this year we’ll be hosting one together Sunday February 12 from 1:30-2:30pm at The Empire Hotel in NYC.

With the craziness of fashion week, this is the perfect opportunity to take a little break (and mingle with Jon and I!) Need a hair pick-me-up? You can get your hair braided in a variety of cool ways at the John Barrett braid bar, recharge your phone and view live art installations while you sketch your message to stop bullying. Guests can also enjoy amenities from Smartwater, Baked by Melissa, Popchips, and Whistle Pig Straight Rye Whiskey.

Chicago Designer Elise Bergman Heads To New York Fashion Week

As a Chicago fashion supporter, I’m very excited to announce that local designer Elise Bergman has been chosen by Diet Pepsi to showcase her hometown style and bring a refreshing perspective to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Along with 3 other designers, Elise has teamed up with fashion expert Simon Doonan who will serve as a mentor while each designer creates 3 Fall looks. These looks will be unveiled at the Jonathan Adler-designed Diet Pepsi Style Studio Runway Show at Lincoln Center this Thursday.

It’s all happening this Thursday, February 9. The best of luck to Elise…way to represent Chicago!

“The Tents” Movie Trailer

With Fashion Week coming up in less than 2 weeks, I thought this was the perfect time to share the trailer for the upcoming movie The Tents. Fashion Week has become such a spectacle for celebrities and street style, but this film will really take us back to how it all started…and what New York Fashion Week is really about. I cannot wait to see this movie!

I was so excited to see yesterday that Amy from Chicago Street Style posted a candid photo of me from New York Fashion Week.

Although I despise most pictures of myself, I don’t mind them as much if I’m not looking at the camera…and with Amy’s amazing photography skills, I can never hate her photos. Plus, she’s been killing it with the candids lately! Click here to view the full post.

See all of my NYFW street style looks here.

Outfit: House of Holland dress, Miu Miu wrap belt, Prada Minimal Baroque Spring ’11 sunglasses, Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony shoes, Proenza Schouler PS1 handbag

I was so excited to find out the other day that I was photographed by Tommy Ton for Style.com on my first day at fashion week in New York! It was even for a special project where you can shop the looks of various street style photos.

I also ran into my friend Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style who took my photo with the lovely Karen from Where Did U Get That (who is just as nice as she is stunning).

Overall, I was beyond honored to have these amazing photographers like my outfits enough to photograph me for their blog/website. I dress for me, but it’s always appreciated when others like my outfits too 🙂
