How often do you see a group of girls that are ALL so well dressed?? Not often in my experience. Usually there's at least one friend in the bunch that wears a sweat suit or a pair of crocs and everyone talks about how embarrassing it is behind her back. I'm guessing these girls don't have that problem.

Each one had an amazing sense of style and somehow, 4 out of 5 of them pulled off a high waisted pant, which is not as easy as they make it look.



To see more pictures from this event, which featured music from The Ting Tings and Empires, check out Style Expose. Style Expose is a very informative Chicago fashion blog managed by the Stitches Fashion Program. Stitches hosted the event and is a great friend to us at The MidWasteland, so go check them out!

Wearing white pants in the middle of winter is risky, let alone in the middle of a blizzard but somehow, he pulls them off. The whole outfit is reminiscent of Pete Doherty, pre-heroin addiction...faux-bury scarf, holes, and all.

Even without the heroin, this outfit is totally chic.



UPDATE:

I just read all of the comments on this photo.

I met the boy below, William, at Flash Taco through a friend and I had no clue that he was in The Academy Is..., I just thought he was a cute boy in white pants...oops.

Sorry!

Note to TAI Fans: He was very nice!

Last week I got the amazing opportunity to meet and greet with Victoria Beckham a.k.a. Posh Spice when she came to Chicago. The miniature starlet was in town for a concert and to promote her denim line, DVB, at Saks. Lucky for me, my bff is the Denim Director at the Michigan Ave. department store, so I didn't have to wait in line with the superfans. Instead, I waited in a small, private room (probably the size of my kitchen) and sipped champagne (FYI it was 11 AM) with the ladies-who-lunch and S5A's head honchos until Posh's grand entrance. I came across a real-life Charlotte York, the newest "Louies" and more diamonds than the eye could see. Posh and I wore matching black blazers. Obviously because great minds think alike. Here's a taste of what I saw...

This is my official first post on the new site!!!

Here are some pics I took back on January 29th (i know, i know, i am sooo behind!) at the Chicago Fashion Resource Launch party. If you aren't familiar with the site you need to follow the link above and take a gander because the it is a-maze-ing.

CFR is dedicated to guiding their viewers to all things, fashion related in Chicago. You'll find in depth profiles of boutiques and designers, as well as, a neighborhood excursion guide.

The party was held at Lumen, in the West Loop and hosted the who's who of the Chicago fashion industry.

At any party I attend it's usually the women attendees that steal the show with their outfits but this time it was the men who gave me an eyeful. I had never seen as many bow ties and pocket squares in one place in my life as I did that night. It was a dream come true!
