Spring Crawler

standard Peggy February 23, 2016 2 responses

I’m just going to pretend that spring is crawling towards me… This weekend’s weather was just sooo gorgeous that I’m just going to ignore the fact that snow might be coming again tomorrow. For this in-between weather, I like to wear easy layers. This gray Tee is my go-to shirt from Nordstrom Rack (a steal at under $10 and I might just about have it in every color). Then I like to mix my basics and dress them up a bit by adding a fitted blazer, heels (woohoo -sandals!) and of course accessories. I love layering necklaces and I’m seriously in LOVE with these Pavé Wave Ear Crawlers from Humble Chic NY – they are so delicate and sparkly 🙂 What do you all think of them?!

Artists Monument

standard Peggy February 22, 2016 Leave a response

On Saturday, I attended the unveiling ceremony of Chicago’s newest modern art public installation by Tony Tasset. The Artists Monument is made of laser etched Plexiglas on shipping containers 8’x80’x8′. The monument (located in Grant Park at 9th & S. Michigan Avenue), a tribute to all artists, has 392,485 names ranging from Pablo Picasso to Andy Warhol to emerging artists with a single exhibition in alphabetical order. I even got interviewed for the nightly news! Did anybody see it air?! The reception took place at Niu B, where I indulged a bit too much in all the delicious food. I just couldn’t resist the sushi rolls. The Monument will be displayed here until at least the spring and then will find its permanent home at the UIC campus.

Now, lets talk about what I wore to the ceremony! Saturday was the perfect day to wear this Humble Chic NY chiffon sleeveless blouse because it was in the mid 60s! I love the subtle high-lowness of it along with the pocket details – which I’m ALL about! I’m also sooo excited to be collaborating with Humble Chic that with code LIKEIT you can get 15% off the entire site. How amazing is that?! I can’t wait to show you what else is in the works!

Menswear

One of my favorite trends for this season that I’ve been wearing for years is menswear. I definitely love getting all dolled up and wearing dainty/feminine dresses, but there is something casually cool about menswear. Wide leg pants with unfitted and long tops makes the look effortless. I feel just as confident and pretty in a dress as in an outfit like this. I also love my sneakers and wear them with everything! It wouldn’t be a twist on menswear without a pretty vintage bangle and an amazing H belt!!
