It’s been a warm week in Chicago so far – we’ve hit the upper thirties! Imagine that! Anyway, all the sunshine and above freezing temperatures are really getting me in the mood for spring.

What an amazing and exciting week that was Paris Fashion Week. The shows were breathtaking, the clothing was beautiful, and I can’t think of a better way to boost the spirits during this weather-changing down economy.

Tennis has always been one of the favorite lunchtime and post-work activities for the [...]
Miuccia Prada took the working look to new embellished heights. Of course, how can we be surprised. The Miu Miu spring 2010 collection showcased during Paris Fashion Week took the dress, collared shirt and cardigan and made them the glamours office staples they have always striven to be. These looks may not be 100% work [...]
The spring 2010 collection of Louis Vuitton brought its groove on during Paris Fashion Week. Marc Jacobs donned his models with loud makeup, crazy hair and of course show-stopping clothes. Here’s my favorite work look from the collection – I might leave the hair at home though.

The Kenzo spring 2010 collection gave me a new insight into the potential of the working wardrobe. Antonio Marras has shown me that mixing patterns really isn’t that bad, and that the ‘80s suit apparently did have some good qualities. Luckily there are people like Marras to inspire me into adding a few pieces of [...]
