Thank you so much Corri McFadden for the shout out on one of Chicago’s most popular morning shows during the segment on Chicago’s top 5 fashion blog! Make sure to check out her other favo...
I love so much about these photos of Elizabeth that it almost feels like I’m “ruining the moment” to talk about them. Let’s face it, words will never be able to have that raw ...
In honor of the final Total Rewards post in the series, I thought I’d wrap up the way I began; with a dream post. Street-style is all about making fashion accessible and bringing it down to ear...
When I first spotted Ewelina, she was briskly walking north on Damen. In a completely out-of-character move for me, I inexplicably chose to wear heels that day to go street-style hunting. I’ve ...
I am so excited to share with you that my photo of Elin Kling was the starting point for a story about Bermuda shorts in the June 2012 issue of Shop Til You Drop, the #1 best selling fashion magazine...
Isabella had that magnetic allure that I find so charming in my street-style subjects. Even better, I spotted her on Chicago Avenue just after I ascended the escalator. It’s rare for me to just...
A bun can be a difficult hair style to pull off. It’s severe, as it concentrates all of the attention on the wearer’s face. Conversely, Carine Roitfeld famously styles her hair in front o...
I love gold hoop earrings. They’re not for everyone, but there are few things that can so instantly change the vibe of a look. Incoming search terms:chicago street style monica
If anyone at New York fashion week is going to rock lust-worthy accessories, of course it would be NYLON Magazine style editor Dani Stahl wearing Dolce & Gabbana. Stars never looked so chic!
Most bloggers will tell you that they spend an inordinate amount of time on the internet. Posting, reading favorite blogs, researching trends, and staying up-to-date with the latest news is an import...
Initially I stopped Kate because she represented the female version of what I’ve been exploring in my menswear posts. Attention to detail, great leather accessories, and an emphasis on a classi...
Just for fun, and because I adore Mickey Boardman, watch him interview Elettra for Paper Magazine below:
One of the major perks of being a street-style photographer is that I get to stop majorly hot guys on the street. More of them are starting to dress better with the whole “Gentleman’s Rev...
I initially stopped Sarah because I love how neon yellow and brown neutrals look together. It wasn’t until I began taking close-up photos that I realized that – to my surprise – she...
I spotted Matt on LaSalle Street in the middle of the workday last week. I was on my way to help emcee an internal fashion show at the Chicago office of a large technology company. Thankfully I had m...
Linsey is one of those Chicagoans with such a fantastic sense of style that any time I see her out she has a giant target on her. That’s the way it is with a lot of people. Her posts from last ...
Inspired by what else, one of my street-style photographs, I think I’m finally going to take the plunge…
I first met the ultra-stylish Ellen Grace, intern at CS Magazine and Columbia College fashion design major, at the TopShop party I co-hosted in April. I left my camera at home that day because I want...
If anyone knows where Melissa picked up that fantastic deer print shirt, let me know. I did grow up in Arkansas, after all… what’s that saying, you can take the girl out of the sti...
Goodbye, winter! I took this photo of jewelry designer Heidi Gardner on a 45 degree day last week. I believe this is the last cold weather photo I take until fall… or at least I hope so. Heidi ...
I don’t even need to explain to you why I liked Yoona’s look. You all should know by now, but I’ll explain anyway (you know you want it). The sequined top really makes a statement a...
…Or as my friend Chelsea who works at Sofia succinctly said when I breathlessly ran into the store immediately afterwards to show the girls, “the best street-style photo ever taken in Chi...
I’m not one to post about recent purchases on my blog. I have nothing against those who do – anyone who is into fashion is inherently materialistic to some degree. The only thing worse th...
Via Instagram, @ChiStreetStyle I know I’ve posted about the Baha’i Temple in Wilmette once before, but since it’s a spectacular place to visit in the Spring it bears revisiting (lit...
Zigzag dresses are all over the streets right now. I prefer the subtle interpretations as opposed to blatant rip-offs, which is why I photographed Abbey’s zigzag dress for this post. Her outfit...
Like everyone I stop on the streets for a photograph, I had no idea who Simon was when I walked up to him. While I was shooting him the conversation focused on his love of accessories. He was easygoi...
This is Jasmine’s umpteenth time on my blog… actually I think it’s her fourth. But I’m feeling too lazy to go back and count so you’ll just have to take my word for it. ...
