Rockin’ Red Carpet

She Rocks Awards at the Anaheim Hilton. // 1.24.15

Dress: HeartLoom; Necklace: Nordstrom; Shoes: Louboutin.

Last weekend, I was honored with an award that supports women in leadership roles in the music industry. As soon as I found out there was going to be a red carpet, I started planning what I was going to wear. I went with this loose-fitting, LBD from Heartloom. It had a boho vibe, but still looked chic with classic black Louboutins for the red carpet. (Please excuse the selfie. All the shots I could get my hands on cut off my legs.)

Fur, Baby

Vest: Club Monaco; Tee/Leggings: Nordstrom; Boots: Dolce Vita.

Something I’ve been searching for for a long time has been a quality, faux fur vest. I’ve looked everywhere for one, and lucky for me, found one under the Christmas tree this year. From Club Monaco, I am completely in love with this piece. Pairing it with a basic tee made for a sophisticated, easy look for a date night at Charlatan in Chicago’s West Town (which, btw, if you are in need of some winter comfort food, this is the place.)

NYE Sparkle

New Year’s Eve. // 12.31.14

Top: Nordstrom BP; Pants: Lucy Paris; Shoes: Louboutin.

Usually I don’t blog an outfit beforehand but I’m making an exception for NYE … New Year’s Eve has always been an excuse for me to leave the house bedazzled in sequins (which, if it were socially and fashionably acceptable, I would wear everyday.) This year is no different. I am pairing a pair of Lucy Paris sequin leggings with a plain black tee for a laid back, yet sparkly look.

Holiday Tulle

The Nutcracker Ballet. // 12.21.14

Skirt: Akira Chicago; Top: Nordstrom; Jacket: Nanette Lepore; Bag: YSL; Shoes: Louboutin.

I channeled my inner Carrie Bradshaw this weekend when I attended The Joffrey Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker. I paired a gold top from Nordstrom with my favorite look for this holiday season — a huge tulle skirt. While it definitely spilled over into the seat next to me, this skirt screams holidays and looked great paired with a wool Nanette Lepore blazer.
