never gets old

Sadly, Chicago is constantly overlooked by the fashion community whose main focus is always London, Paris, New York, Milan, etc. I was actually surprised (but of course VERY HAPPY) when I found out that we were the second US city getting a Topshop. Regardless, I will always love this city. Chicago, hands down, has the best skyline. It never gets old.

a view from the one of the glass boxes in the skydeck (no I did not take this picture! I let my little sister, Babes, take my camera up haha if you know me you know that I would never go to the top of the Sears Tower. I'm such a baby when it comes to heights)

Another thing that never gets old are my Ray Bans and J Brand Houlihans.

hello, good-bye

Finally being able to wear boots also means having to stow away wedges and sandals until spring. Here are a few pairs that I really hate to see go...

Sooooo I don't know if I'm just light years behind the whole world when it comes to everything the internet has to offer (this was probably really cool on myspace, right?) but here is my first GIF post!
I wore this about two weeks ago and took some pictures with photobooth on my macbook.
Sadly, I'll have to retire this maxi dress until spring. Chicago winter...I am not looking forward to you at all (that is, unless I find a camel cape coat ,then I will happily deal with you with a smile on my face)!

When will I be fabulous enough to attend a masquerade ball in Paris? Anna Dello Russo, I bow down to you.

I suggest that you

take inspiration from none other than Miss Britney Spears circa the late '90s

and wear midriff baring tops, crimped your hair, etc
Photobucket

work in cues à la MK Olsen and Alexa Chung
mko and achung

by topping off your outfit with an oversize blazer

voilà!

Vintage tank top, skirt from ASOS.com and blazer from Forever 21
