My Prized Fashion Possession on Refinery29

When asked the question “whats the most prized possession in your closet?” my answer will always in some way involve Proenza Schouler. When approached with this very question by Refinery29, the first thing that popped into my head was my custom PS1 of course. Since they already covered that, I decided to give them something different…but still Proenza.

So what did I choose?

Find out more by reading the full story and check out what other stylish Chicagoans picked as their prized fashion possessions.

Currently Obsessing Over: My Moda Operandi Wishlist

It’s no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with the only website where you can literally buy straight from the runway–Moda Operandi. Check out your favorite looks on Style.com and buy them a few days later on Moda Operandi…can it get any better? Now that’s fashion forward!

Here are the pieces I’m loving from the currently available Fall 2012 collections on Moda Operandi.

Photobucket Mary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou is a designer who has intrigued me the last few seasons. Basing your brand on these crazy prints is quite a risk…but there’s people like me who can’t get enough of them! So, does anyone have $31,000 to spare so I can get this dress? 🙂

Helmut Lang

May or may not have already ordered these leggings already…

Proenza Schouler

It’s Proenza…need I say more? Okay I will. That jacket will one day be mine (even if I have to do questionable things to obtain it).

Peter Pilotto

If I can no longer get my hands on Proenza Spring ’10 (best. collection. ever.) Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 is the next best thing. The colors and prints are incredible and I’m loving everything about this outfit.

Photobucket Fendi Ski

Haven’t been skiing in a while, but I’d definitely reconsider if I get to wear Fendi.

Minty Fresh Fashion

Although tangerine is said to be the biggest color for Spring 2012, mint isn’t far behind…and I’m beyond obsessed. It started with this Acne sweater and led to a full blown obsession. Whether it’s a super pale green or a vibrant pastel (yes, it exists) I am absolutely loving minty fresh fashion for Spring. Who am I kidding? I’m loving it right now!

Here are some of my favorite mint finds of the moment…

The Colorful World of a PS1

If there is one bag you should invest in, it’s the Proenza Schouler PS1. Hands down. [Not just because I eat sleep breathe Jack and Lazaro] but it’s the best carryall, made with the most amazing quality materials…and it just looks awesome. In my eyes, nothing can beat this PS1 but with so many shapes, fabrics and sizes…you’re bound to find one you love.

Now PS1s aren’t just bags anymore…they’re wallets, totes, pouches etc. Exciting, right?! Check it out…

Net-a-Porter + Refinery29 Chicago Event

Last week I attended quite the stylish soiree at Sable with Refinery29 and Net-a-Porter. It happened to be the last nice day we’d have for a while. So being around great people with delicious food with some decent January Chicago weather…let’s just say it was a pretty good time.

Yesterday Refinery29 posted some pics from the party and they even featured my custom PS1 I wore that night.

Check out Refinery29’s slideshow of the event photos, plus here’ a few of my own below (clearly taken on my iPhone).
