Are You Faux Real? (Part 1)

Due to my extreme leather obsession, I have come to a conclusion that one post about leather trim for the Fall season simply won’t suffice. But how can I further discuss my leather addiction without overloading you with information?

The best part about having my own blog is that I can write about whatever I want, whenever I want. Last night I decided I wanted to write a 3 part series about the best real and faux leather pieces of the season in select categories. So that’s what I’m going to do. And this week I’m all about the leather jacket.

What Why Where: A Pop Of Lim

So now that I’m blogging full time, I’ve decided to incorporate a little more personal style into ChiCityFashion. By no means will this turn into a personal style blog…but it doesn’t hurt to mix things up, right?

You might be thinking…what’s up with the title of this post? What Why Where has to do with how I’ll be laying out my personal style posts from now on. Things will make more sense once you click that “continue reading” button…

Chi City Closet: Cleaning Out For Fall

Good bye cut-offs, hello Markus Lupfer sweaters…it’s [almost] time for Fall. Technically the new season doesn’t start until September 22 but it doesn’t hurt to start the wardrobe transition now, right?

As per usual, I listed a bunch of items from my closet with eDrop-Off…and I wanted to give YOU the opportunity to bid. Hope you enjoy shopping my closet!

Everything’s Better With Leather…Trim

If you’re a vegan or involved with PETA, I suggest you stop reading now. If you’re a leather-enthusiast like I am (fake leather counts too…as long as it’s Stella-quality) then you know the feeling you get when you put on a leather jacket and you just feel so damn good.

Although I love anything fully leather, there’s something about it just being a trim on a garment that really takes your look to the next level. It’s like the ultimate accent fabric and it can be used in so many ways. I picked out some of my favorite leather-trimmed items available right now to show you the versatility of the look and hopefully inspire you to take a fashion risk with your next outfit.

Best Colored Denim Shorts Under $150

Colored denim has been a huge trend in the last year but when it’s 95 and humid like it’s been lately in Chicago, skinny jeans are the last thing on your mind. So instead of a DIY project (it takes serious skill to cut your own denim…trust me, I’ve tried) I picked out my favorite colored denim shorts and they’re all under $150!
