K&Z Chicago

I came across this drawing of mine from three years ago before my sister and I moved to Chicago for school. I remember being so excited to get out of Milwaukee and be able to surround myself with fashion, new people and best of all city life. This brings back old memories...good memories <3

I'm wearing an H&M sleeveless chiffon collared black shirt with a Forever 21 dress (I cut off the top of the dress to make it a skirt-I wear it more as a skirt than I did as a dress). The shoes are Chinese Laundry, the watch is Michael Kors and the aubergine leather studded bracelet I found at a street fair in New York city back in December. It was my "Congrats on getting the internship!" gift to myself.

I'm growing. I'm learning. I'm conquering. I'm strong. Everything in life serves a purpose in shaping who we are and with each step we are evolving. Without disappointments how will we ever develop a sense of independence, without failure how will we ever admire our strengths and without heartbreak how will we ever experience true love? Think about it.

I'm wearing a royal blue-navy if you will-dress of my own design, made from a random burst of inspiration and an intense love session with my sewing machine. The belt is my "Sex and the City" belt from Forever 21. I got it for $8.50 a couple years ago and it still remains my favorite staple accessory piece. It goes with everything! Isn't it strange how we would kill for a Chanel handbag or a pair of sky-high Christian Louboutin shoes but when it comes down to it, our favorites consist of vintage finds and cheap retail goods. You can't put a price on style.

A leopard can't change its spots

My sister and I went strolling through IKEA this afternoon and dared to go in the back where no one seemed to be interested in shopping. It was quite erie I must admit but it was the perfect place to set up a mini photo shoot. The industrial feel and rustic look truly inspired us! We kept shooting until the staff at IKEA started to tak notice the flow of creativity that was taking place beyond their consent. I'm wearing an Allen B. by Allen Swartz pleated leopard Maxi Skirt over a black Repetto bodysuit, Franco Sarto open-toe booties and a long white feather earring from Forever 21.

 Those damn Paparazzi... ;) 

I'm wearing a green cargo vest from Zara, a bright orange (I've been obsessed with orange lately!) pleated skirt from H&M, vintage brown studded skinny belt, Dolce Vita Brown wedges, Michael Kors watch, Michael Kors Uptown Astor large shoulder tote, and favorite Forever 21 sunglasses I bought in New York last September.

H&M sheer button up shirt worn with a navy pleated skirt, also from H&M,

 my new platform sandals from Urban Outfitters and last but certainly not least, my Michael Kors Hamilton tote. What you can't see is my Patricia Field "Krysta" necklace. I've had it for about four years-we're in love. :)

This is my hundredth 'I love New York' post but I've been craving being back there so much lately that I've decided to dedicate this post to how much I truly love and miss New York City. The minimalist chic with trendy accents and a loose silhouette makes this the perfect summer outfit to wear around Manhattan.

 I'm wearing a Michael Kors silky blue and black wrinkle tie-dyed shirtdress-that I absolutely die for!-Michael Kors belt and Rose gold runway watch, and Dolce Vita brown leather 'strappy' wedges. I kept the makeup light and my hair in simple loose waves. I lightened the tips in a desperate attempt for change; it came out pretty good and I'm liking the results. What do you think? My gosh, it's getting so long! It seems like just yesterday I was coming home from the salon in tears because the lady chopped off all my hair...yikes-bad memories!

SJP's family portrait...

Featured in Vogues AUGUST issue.

Love, love, love Sarah Jessica Parker. THE fashion guru of all that is New York and beyond-the woman who made litte girls everywhere try on their mothers high heels and ravish at perfectly tailored designer goods. Ever since I can remember, SJP was making the fashion world a more inspiring place to thrive for girls like me. Her grace and charismatic energy has brought her wonderful things: a beautiful family, a wonderful home, lots of love and breathtaking couture. Let's take a look:
