With Dominique, it was all about those eyebrows and now it’s time to obsess over Noel with those killer LIPS. This girl is insanely gorgeous (sometimes I just can’t even look at these photos because she’s too pretty). And as an added bonus? She has a stunning sister (who you’ll see next week in the last installment of my Ford editorials).
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?

There is an awesome giveaway going on RIGHT NOW on the Swarovski Elements Facebook Page. Although it’s a giveaway completely separate from ChiCityFashion, it was just too good not to share with you!
Here’s how the giveaway works:

Gifts include necklaces, bracelets, broaches and more.
The giveaway doesn’t stop there! On 12/8 Swarovski Elements will be hosting a sweepstakes with the top three prizes as product packages from their 2010 Holiday Collection. A new product image will appear once every business day untilDecember 14th and fans will be asked to tag, comment and/or like the image to be entered in the sweepstakes. The more they interact with the photo, the more they are entered into the sweepstakes.
