Teen Vogue Fashion University 2013

Hello!

Last weekend I went to New York City to attend Teen Vogue Fashion University! It was amazing and exceeded my expectations. During the day on Saturday and Sunday we had seminars. The ones that I attended were, Amy Astley and the Teen Vogue Editors, Joseph Altuzarra, Thakoon Panichgul, Coco Rocha, Emily Weiss and  Nick Axelrod (intothegloss.com), Stephanie Mark and Jake Roseberg (thecoveteur.com) and Eve Macsweeney + Phyllis Posnick. The seminars were so cool and interesting! Listening to the range of professionals in the fashion business speak was inspiring. I could not have asked for such an informative program and team, helping teens like me learn more about the fashion industry that I strive to be in. I also had one of my life dreams come true, visiting the Teen Vogue Offices! Being guided around the offices by such real, fashionable, and smart women, Kirby Marzec the Teen Vogue Accessories Assistant and Media Brecher the Teen Vogue Fashion News Assistant made my experience even more incredible! The Teen Vogue offices were so fascinating and made me aspire to work at Teen Vogue even more. I hope to see all of the Teen Vogue team in the near future! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity!

 Thank You Teen Vogue!

Oh Soho Good

Hey Guys!

I just got back from a quick but wonderful trip to New York City this weekend! I love it there so much! I went to attend the Teen Vogue Fashion University which I will talk about more on my next post! One of my favorite parts of New York is in Soho. It is such a cool and interesting place to eat, shop, or just walk around in. I had so much fun and can't wait to tell you more about my fabulous trip. 

Enjoy,

My outfit: Prada fur vest, Phillip Lim 3.1 for Target bag, TopShop shoes and necklace, and River Island dress. 

Gatsby Gold

Hey guys!

I went to a Great Gatsby party and wanted to show you all my outfit along with Ariels. This is a very themed post which does not happen often. I think that the mood of the pictures is perfect with the eerie soft colors! I hope you do too because I really like the way the pictures turned out, I know they are not as clear as usual but hey its part of the look I am trying to portray! If you have not seen The Great Gatsby you should, it is a beautiful film. I hope that you enjoy my interpretation of the modernized roaring twenties!

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,

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!
