Katie on Lake Street

I ran into Katie on Lake Street not far from where I work at Leo Burnett. Her red Moschino purse is what caught my eye, but the little details like the delicate chains on her sunglasses and around her neck sealed the deal for me.

Caleb Vinson in Wicker Park

I ran into the filmmaker Caleb Vinson in Wicker Park over the weekend.

Check out one of his latest peices called GLASS CATHEDRALS.

I love his camera strap available on the Langley site.

See more of Caleb's work on his Vimeo channel here.

Lindsay Segal of Luxury Garage Sale

Lindsay Segal of the rad shop Luxury Garage Sale is looking TOTALLY fly in this midriff baring top and embellished circle skirt.

However, the creme de la creme of the outfit is this amazing sequined Chanel purse.

These Chanel boots are not half bad either :)

Go peruse the amazing goods at Luxury Garage Sale in person at 1658 N Wells St in Chicago or visit them online at luxurygaragesale.com

Monica Royer of Monica + Andy

I caught up with Monica Royer at the press preview for Monica + Andy the new ADORABLE shop for babies and kids last month. It was so fun to co-host this event with bevy of other stylish moms in town. Monica is looking divine in this Azzeza cocktail confection.

It was so great getting to spend some time with one of my co-hosts Nikia Jefferson (founder of Chitown Fashionista) and her DARLING kiddo MJ. Inside guests got a glimpse of the gorgeous new store which in addition to the beautiful blankets and clothes for babies and toddlers, how amazing is that teeny seer sucker suit!?!?. There's a milk and cookie bar and a section for mom and moms-to-be from Azeeza. 

Check out Monica + Andy all this month for free classes like Baby Yoga and Eco-Friendly Art Classes. Follow them on facebook for the schedule.
