Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate one year with me! These are the photos I took with a personal camera of me with my good friends who came out.
The professional party photos, provided by Mad Lab Photography, can be seen here on Facebook.

Jena Gamabaccini is one of Chicago’s most prominent fashion bloggers and a good friend of mine. When I was contacted by a search engine to do a commercial about how my friendships influence my blog, Jena was the first person I asked. Jena was also the first person I ever met through blogging and one of my first Twitter followers. She has supported and encouraged me in every way possible. Without Jena’s advice and critiquing, I doubt ChicagoStreetStyle.com would be as successful as it is today.
I photographed her the day before the 8-person film crew flew out from Los Angeles to work with us. We met up to share ideas and most importantly, pick outfits! The commercial is going to be released early next week, and then I can openly talk about the company and the work.
Follow Jena on Twitter (@ChiCityFashion), on BlogLovin’, and on her newly renamed Tumblr.
She also blogs for Shop Influence, is one of the personal style bloggers at The Style Tribe, and is in charge of social media strategy at luxury consignment juggernaut Shop E-Drop Off. Jena also freelances at Refinery29 like me!
Drita is one of those really cool girls who just exudes confidence on the street. Often times I find myself attracted to photographing people who hold themselves well, although in this case it was the accessorizing that did it for me. How cool is the mixture of textures between the geode pendant, glass ring, red scarf and feather earring?
