As most of you know (or maybe don’t know) about us is that we are huge proponents of ‘wear what you love, lots of different ways’.  This past week was another week of making outifts  We fell in love with many things, but right now anything big and cozy gets our vote and as always, so does a great shoe.

LOVE the idea of grabbing your “boyfriend’s” sweater to throw over just about anything….gives you that great effortless vibe.

The Wendy bootie.  What other shoe do you know has styling options of its’ own??  Folded, scrunched, rolled, to-the-knee…all fabulous!

Here we are styling yet another favorite….the Gar-de tux (in navy!!  Just doesn’t get any better!).  Coming to The Shop soon!

We shot our Nov cover story this past week and unlike the West Coast or down South, it’s cold here in Chicago.  We got completely gypped out of summer AND our indian summer!  The forcast that day was a tropical 60 degrees.  We maybe got close to 50?  Then there’s the wind that takes that number down another 10 degrees.  The wind just whips off the lake and…#@%)^T*($!!  But like those killer shoes, we do it for some fashion  I have to say, the fashion, the photography and the weather did make our hearts beat that much faster

There’s Ms Nicole, our hair & makeup artist, trying to stay warm in a doorway and ‘guarding’ all our gear.  Who says fashion isn’t glamourous?
