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

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.

I am LOVING how more chicks these days aren’t afraid to rock streetwear – yes, the androgynous look is unique and gutsy, but it can also be badass and sexy. Take, for examples the following chicks who are getting it right: Waltz in Black – Waltz in Black is a Southern Californian with a penchant … Read more

So in love. Embracing it while I still can — with this kind of overexposure, the camo trend will get tired fast. xox, Lesley Images via: Style du Monde, Snappy Lifestyle, I’m Koo, The Sartorialist, Caroline’s Mode, Chrystelle, Guerreisms, misc unidentified Tumblr and Pinterest

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.

Quick post tonight — I’m going to Pitchfork tomorrow (alas, only one day), and I still have things to do… like picking out an outfit. Of course. The girly girl in me will never die.
