chicago may not be a fashion city 

but it's 

definitely 

a retail city

one of my favorite things about being here is that you can watch stores evolve and grow

from hermes moving out of a narrow store on oak 

to the old barneys 

which had opened up because of

barneys move across the street to a six story mega department store

and ikram's move from rush street to their new beautiful and enormous space on huron

now a new vera wang

one of my favorite stories is that of sofia

formerly sofia vintage discretely located on clark and division in an office building

specializing in high end vintage pieces 

it was a secret spot for those in the know 

now a year after their move to their new oak street location

sofia

is featuring the coolest young brands like

wildfox UNIF stylestalker house of harlow one teaspoon Luv AJ halston heritage 

it has become one of my favorite spots to pop in just to say hi

i love the girls that work there and the casual friendly atmosphere they have created

it's such a great vibe

i wanted this UNIF sweater back in fall in black but ended up getting it for annie

there was an awesome UNIF skirt too i missed

some things are better that way because today 

i ended up getting the sweater in orange which is a huge departure from my norm

and then i found this stylestalker skirt and 

it looked just right over the jeans i had on

it's so bad when what you're wearing matches everything you try on

isn't it?

steven alan is the shit

his plaid shirts are like butter i've had this one for years and

i love everything about it 

it's like gauze

these supra shoes i got in colorado visiting annie at school

4 years ago 

i think they were like 40$ and they have more than withstood 

the test of time

i added a screw i found on the ground to them not long ago

i love it
