Mermaid Art

Posted on Tuesday, December 10, 2013

Hey guys!

I have been doing many wearable and more outfit of the day looks on my blog. Maddie and I decided to do an art based photo shoot. Maddie painted on the scalloped scales on both of us, she is an amazing artist. I wanted to give a bit of a simpler look for our outfits to showcase the art. The jewels are hanging off of us because we were buried in treasures!

Enjoy,

Thanks To Sophistication

Posted on Sunday, December 1, 2013

Hey Guys,

Brooke and I had a photo shoot during our little Thanksgiving break. We shot at Brooke's beautiful home on a pretty day! Brooke is a new model and had her first shoot on the blog, definitely not her last. The lighting was prime for once, a rare sighting in Chicago! I was very appreciative for the lighting because I've missed it for a while. I tried to create a more sophisticated look for us, using a classic high necklines and appropriate hems.

Enjoy,

My look: Maude skirt, HUE tights, American Apparel top, Phillip Lim for Target bag, and Dolce Vita heels.

Brooke's look: Fjäll sweater, Chanel boots and skirt, and vintage jewelry.

The Gray Scale

Posted on Sunday, November 24, 2013

Hello,

Winter has hit Chicago! In the last few days it has been freezing. I thought that my gray outfit expressed how the weather has been and how many of us have been feeling. I thought that the old church background would be a cool backdrop for my outfit. I realized that I hadn't posted my white nurse-ish shoes yet! I have been living in them through the summer and fall, they are so comfortable and easy to wear. I hope everyone stays warm and has a nice Thanksgiving!

Enjoy,

My look: L.A.M.B skirt, TopShop bag, Zara kids top, Office platforms, and HUE tights.

A Walk In The Park

Posted on Monday, November 4, 2013

Hey guys,

Danielle and I had a nice walk in the park on Sunday afternoon. As you all know I love black, I wanted to show a cute way to add a pop of color with an all black outfit! The dress that I am wearing is from a small boutique in Soho, I got on my New York trip. I think it is a very interesting dress with many layers and cool shapes! I used the background of this Buddhist temple because of its lovely architecture and structure of the building. I think that my dress and Danielle's shirts pleats looked perfect with the temple and stairs. I hope you like all of the pretty fall colors as much as I do, so enjoy it while it lasts!

My outfit: Garcia dress, Dolce Vita booties, and HUE tights.
Danielle's outfit: Blank jeans, and TopShop necklace.

Teen Vogue Fashion University 2013

Posted on Monday, October 28, 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!
