Phillip Lim for Target Takes Millennium Park

Hello!

Today I went down to the Art Institute to visit some lovely exhibits and then headed off to Millennium Park for a photo shoot. I hope you like my outfit of the day inspired post today! The day I heard that Phillip Lim was creating a line for Target I knew that I would be there to get my hands on at least one of the pieces! I love his work and am very happy with the dress that I found. I love the way it is cut at the bottom. It is an all seasons dress I can wear it all year round. 

Enjoy,

-Chloé Akari

My outfit: Phillip Lim for Target dress, vintage sunglasses, Dolce Vita booties, HUE tights, and a vintage Zanette handbag. 

Riding In To Fall

Hello!

Fall is finally here in Chicago!

I couldn't be more excited to break out my tights and little jackets! I have some exciting news to share! I was chosen to be a Teen Vogue Fashion Contributor on teenvogue.com! This is my first post that I will be contributing to Teen Vogue! Danielle and I took a little bike ride down to the lake. I wanted to show some classic, yet bold pieces on both of us. However I styled Danielle using much brighter colors. I love pairing colorful fun socks with any shoes that I wear. Enjoy the incoming fall!

Country Roads

Hello!

Last weekend Sarah and I went to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. We were driving and stopped along the road at some pretty spots. This is the most country that we usually see. We enjoyed our relaxing getaway with the nice sunny weather. This is my last post of the summer, school has begun. I find these cows below so interesting looking. I have never seen them before so I thought I should share. I tried making outfits a contrast but somehow both work in the environment we were in. Enjoy our fall looks!

White Light

Hey guys! 

I miss London! I thought that I should post this before school to try and save my last bit of summer while it lasts. This is from London again with my friend Carlota (http://elles-arrivent.tumblr.com) This was from the same day but different location in Brick Lane. I wore one of my favorite shoes of the summer for this shoot! They are from TopShop. I had not actually done a shoot with the T-Shirt skirt that I made last winter. I thought that I needed to show it in an everyday look. I hope you enjoy one of my last posts of my London trip!

Randolph Street Graphics

Hey guys!

Lena and I went down to Randolph Street and went walking around to find some cool locations for a shoot. When I saw these striped walls I thought they were a must! I wanted to use Lena and my outfits to stand out but go with the back ground. I recommend trying some restaurants over there too, (Little Goat, Maudes, Nellcôte, etc). The dress I am wearing is from London, it is a cool skaterish dress that has an interesting pattern. I also like the small details on it, like the turtle neck and cut on the waist. I tried making Lena and my outfits feminine but yet a little sporty. I have been trying to save summer, this will be one of the last "summery" post! 

Enjoy!

Lena's outfit: TopShop dress, Kimchi Blue heels, Vintage bag and necklace, and Project Social jersey.
