Samantha Hollice

I ran into Samantha Hollice on Michigan Avenue on her way to work at the Chicago Museum of Contemporarry Art  as a curatorial intern. I literally did a double take on those earrings and head wrap, so very cool.

In Bed With - Alex White of White Mystery

My darling friend Debbie Mudd is curating a music series out of the back of her '73 Ford Pickup Truck called In Bed With  One of my favorite perfomances so far is by rock goddess Alex White, one half of the brother and sister duo White Mystery I was on hand with my camera to capture the glory of Alex's heidi themed outfit and glorious vanity belt buckle. Check out this stand out performance filmed by Jake Brusha and edited by Frank Sigwarth

See the whole video on the site In Bed With including a rad interview between founder Debbie Mudd and Alex. Also peep videos featuring Sidewalk Chalk, Jimmy Burns and many others.

PS you can get Jen's glamorous earrings here for way less than you think.

Art Expo Glam Squad

Expo Chicago was this past weekend and man was it cool. Entering its fourth edition in 2015, it presented artwork from hundreds of the worlds leading galleries showcasing there best works. I attended the opening night as well as a couple of events throught the weekend. I ran into Janet Mandel blogger at Fashionaholic and founder of the luxury diaper bag company Mia Bossi, blogger Elina Casell and the always delightful PR maven Monika Dixon on the opening night looking amazing. Janet's french pony tail is a work of art in it's own right! Thank you Ali Stone for the glamourous photos, take a look at more of her work here.

Emily and Her Emoji Party

Emily is hands down the most fashionable lady I work with. I remember the first time I saw her riding the elevators, I had never spoken a word to her, but I vowed right then and there to get her on the blog. Fast forward a couple of months & here we are. She really delivers in an emoji sweat suit that she picked up at a Pilsen fashion emporium & those silver Nike Sky Hi Dunks (similar style here)

There has never been a more appropriate subject for my insta feed. Follow along with me at TresAwesome I always follow back ;)

Emoji party with @emilyluiz at the @mcachicago 👍🌴💦😍 Just can't stay away...

The Best Looks of North Coast 2015

North Coast Music Festival was this weekend in Union Park. I can't think of a better way to celebrate Labor Day and close out the summer than with D'angelo and the Roots ripping it up on stage. Of course, the kids brought their fashion A-Game (notice there is an actual child in this album). All of the amazing concert photos were taken by my boo Scott Drasler. You can follow along with him on instagram at PartlylineChi

Ric Wilson is making the most of the last moment of Summer White. Check out his latest track here.

Laine and Derek Berry - the most stylish parents at North Coast. Ok maybe they were one of the very few familial units in attendance, but how freakin' ADORABLE is this lil' hipster family?!

All of Miley Cyrus's VMA looks

How can you top twerking your way to infamy and riding in on a enormous wrecking ball? How about a billion costume changes and an accidental (?) nip slip. Here are every single weird, wild and wonderful costumes Miley Cyrus wore as she hosted the MTV Video Music Awards. Also giving away your new album for free that's co-written with genius Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips is a good way to go too, listen below... or download here for free.
