These Boots Are Made For Walking!

Boots are going to be one of the most "I have to Have it" accessories for Fall/Winter but Chicago women are already wearing their version of the trend. From cowboy boots to Ugg-like suede boots, it is a style that is perfect for those cold winter days predicted in the Farmer's Almanac..

All Tied Up!

Whether the temperature hovers around 80°  or drops to freezing, scarves are the accessory at the moment in the Windy City and beyond.  Maybe that cuddly wrap around your neck is a reminder of your favorite teddy bear that hugged you after you poured your heart out to your diary as a teenager. If only I could find that diary I could have my own reality show!

Ruffle Your Feathers!

Call it a response to rebel against the "Rocker Chic Look" that has been embracing the fashion runways for fall 2009. Chicago women want the added option of looking feminine in their wardrobe on those last days of summer, wearing ruffles, bows and ties. We are never boring and enjoy marching to our own style pace!

Pencil Me In!

Blame it on the success of the hit show"Mad Men," or just the mirroring of the 60's as one of the season's biggest trends, but pencil skirts are back again!  Chicago's most fashionable females are emulating the look in solid colors, prints  & with the additon of slits. Try adding a great pair of stiletto pumps with a simple white shirt for the sassy look of Joan or Betty.  Oh, but please, no cigarettes!  

Who Wears Short Shorts!?

Shorts are no longer confined to just the daytime!  Chicago women are having fun showing a little skin by turning to shorts for both day and night.  To dress up this look just keep it simple with a cute pair of pumps, or be outrageous & add something funky like boots or hats. It's all about showing off those great legs!

Skinny Jeans = Big Style!

Put down that doughnut. No more extra calories if you want to wear one of the hottest trends in jeans. Yes, we are talking about skinny jeans & they will be around for the fall & winter. We know fashion reflects or repeats the past &, in the 80's, they were called cigarette jeans before most people nixed the habit in restaurant, bars & offices. This time around the jeans are available in a variety of colors & have stretch to help hold the shape. Get on that treadmill immediately!

We're Begging for Leggings!

For several seasons now, women have tossed out their pantyhose, opting to show a little skin with bare legs.  This summer, however, women of all ages are covering back up turning to trendy leggings to wrap their gams.  Chicago's most stylish women are pairing leggings, in all different lengths, colors and fabrics, with lingerie tops, cardigans and tunics.  The look certainly gives a woman a leg up on the competition!
