Mondrian Dress

Today I spotted my Mondrian Dress in The Hundred Dresses. I purchased this dress from Forever 21 in 2007 and still wear it till this day. It really is unique and I receive compliments whenever I wear it. It has traveled the world with me and is my comfiest dress I own. This dress is a remake of the original Yves Saint Laurent dress. Do you have an item that you love to wear more throughout the years?

Love,

Summer Read

I am currently reading The Hundred Dresses by Erin McKean. It has the most iconic dresses of our time and where they all started from. Each style includes an illustration of the dress on a model. It's such a good summer read, especially for the fashionistas out there! What books have you read this summer? I'm always on the lookout for a good fashion read. Any suggestions?

Chicago Cupcake

Wednesdays are always my favorite day of the week. I always think optimistically of being more than half way to the weekend! On this particular day, I went on two interviews in the city. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a few places. ;) I made a realization today that interviews are like a date. You can tell if it's going well or not and they call you if they are interested! It was such a gorgeous day to walk around downtown. After my interviews, I treated myself to the cutest cupcake from Magnolia Bakery!

1 Year at Herve!

Today marks my one year anniversary at Herve Leger! I can't believe it's already been one year at my favorite place. I couldn't ask for a better store for high fashion in the suburbs. Right now as I am planning my move to the city, I am looking to transfer to another store location. No matter where the city takes me, I will always remember my first high-fashion job! :)

Spotted: My Pink Beau Bag

Looking through my fashion blogs today led me to Pink Peonies. She's a blogger who shares the same feminine, girly style as me. She also owns my pink Kate Spade Beau Bag! I got so excited when I saw my bag on a fashion blog for the first time. I still love my bag since the day I got it. I like the way Rachel wears hers with distressed denims, a flowy pastel top and her heels! They are the same color as the bag and reminds me of the saying, "your shoes should match your bag." She wears it so well and has inspired me to wear my bag with a casual outfit like hers. Where do you find outfit inspirations?

Love,

Herve Leger Booties

I made my first purchase at Herve Leger yesterday: black leather "Lilah" booties!! They were actually the first shoes I tried on when I started working at Herve Leger and I have loved them ever since. We have a huge shoe sale at our store so now was the perfect time to purchase them. I'm moving into the city in September and I know these will be perfect for nights out in Chicago. They easily work with dresses as they do with a pair of skinny jeans and a dressy top/moto jacket. Check out the styles I paired them with from Herve Leger. They give my girly, classic style an edge. What do you think?

Lollapalooza 2014!

This year was my first time attending Chicago's Lollapalooza and it was a blast!! The crowd was insane and I had an amazing time with my friends. The festival went from August 1-3 and I attended the last day: Sunday Funday!  My favorite artists of the day were Sebastian Ingrosso, Skrillex and GTA. For our outfits, Joslyn and I made tie-dye shirts and wore flower crowns. Even though it rained a whole lot making it super muddy as we danced, we enjoyed the entire day! We stayed overnight with Sylvia at Fairmont Hotel and had a delicious breakfast to wake up to. This was one of the best days of summer. :)

Love,
