Winter in Chicago is, well… cold. And sometimes it’s just too hard to look trendy and keep warm at the same time. Luckily, all you need for this is a pair of leather pants and a faux fur coat. Wearing a Topshop faux fur coat and leather trousers with an F21 tie-dye long-sleeved tee and … Read more

This vintage floral skirt that I found at a thrift shop a few years ago and altered has been a trusty fall-back item. Black tee, leather jacket, skirt, boom. Instant outfit.

Bought a sweater that a little kid would love just as much as a grown man. I paired a Forever 21 monster graphic sweater (two sizes too big) with skinny leather trousers from Topshop for a look that is comfy but pulled together. The Cooperative beanie I’m wearing is my absolute favorite, and the pointed … Read more

I’ve gone to Lollapalooza five years running and each and every time is a completely unique experience. I’d count 2012 as the best one yet.

I know I’m not the only Game of Thrones fan out there, and I know I’m not the only girl that digs Daenerys Targaryen’s wardrobe. The smart utilitarian fabrics and shapes for every day, and the pale blues and downplayed silks for more special occasions speak loads about her character. Dany is fan of beautiful … Read more
