LWD & Wild Things

I have been wanting to take pictures at this school forever, as it is a truly  magical place. Reminiscent of my childhood dreamland, the vivid colors and depictions bring me to life. I kept my outfit light and airy cinching this feminine LWD with a rugged leather belt. Adding edgy or contrasting pieces brings dimension and interest to simple dresses. The frilly heels and colorful necklace also bring a level of detail to the ensemble, making it my own. If worn with different accessories, this dress could go just about anywhere. It is important to keep classic and versatile pieces in your wardrobe  — the LBD is no longer your only option. What are your go-to pieces?

The 70s Comeback

With colorful mod prints and dramatic silhouettes, the 70s were a fun time in fashion history. My ensemble here contains a typical color scheme of orange and mauve with gold accents completing the look. Trends this fall show a  reemergence of retro style with — the flared jean. I can’t wait.

Make Me Wanna Lolla

The highlight of Chicago summer – Lollapalooza – kicked off with a bang yesterday. With crowds rushing Grant Park by the thousands and Coldplay headlining, it was the place to be.

Dressing for the event can be a bit tricky, but I was very pleased with how this ensemble held up. Considering the outdoor venue, sheer number of people and sticky Chicago summer – a breezy skirt, loose midriff top and flats were my go-to items. Sunglasses were also a must, and I am absolutely obsessed with these Tom Ford aviators I recently discovered at Nordstrom. The day could not have been more perfect and the mix of eclectic styles was totally inspirational. Viva la vida.
