Last week's Gen Art Film fest turned out to be amazing. I went to 3 out of 5 days and was never disappointed. The movies were magnificent. My fav was the dark comedy, The Last Word but mostly because the lead, Wes Bentley, is super hot. Bentley was the creepy-hot guy in American Beauty and in this movie he's even hotter AND creepier. Winona Ryder was okay, too. Seriously though, one of the best movies I have seen in a while

The other two features I saw, Bart Got A Room and The Living Wake, were amazing as well. I highly recommend trying to get your hands on any one of these movies.

And, just when I thought the movies were great, the after parties made the nights even better. Directors were there, as were most of the stars, including Bijou Phillips and Jesse Eisenberg.

If you missed the film fest, Gen Art screens movies every month. Their next screening is, August with Josh Hartnett on Wednesday, July 9th. For more details visit www.genart.org.
















Is is wrong that I liked Alia Shawkat's penguin backpack? I bet Fashionista would beg to differ with my opinion.




Sometimes over-matching can be good.








She made this dress and I love it!

When I'm invited to a boutique opening, I always assume that there will be some kind of discount, free drinks and/or the occasional gift bag. All of which are great ways to attract a following, especially when you are new on the scene, but tends to become boring(as a blogger)after the first 20 you go to.

At a recent opening I went to, I definitely was not bored. It was because this time, the owners did something a little different. Instead of having their party IN their store, they had it ABOVE, on the the rooftop of the building their new boutique is housed.

The view was amazing and of course, the Champagne and chocolate fondue station were nice, too!

The new boutique I'm talking about is Michelle Levelle. The high-end dress boutique will be selling gorgeous dresses and is by appointment only. Pretty fancy.

It was no surprise, with the caliber of this party, that beautiful Chicagoans abound. In the crowd I spotted a top model and project runway alum.

Did I mention the hot tub? Yea, this was definitely the best boutique opening in a while. Check out Michelle Levelle's designs at www.michellelevelleboutique.com
