I’m Here!

August 3, 2011 | Announcements

The Mondrian Hotel is stunningly gorgeous and perfectly nestled inside of the Hollywood hills along Sunset Blvd. I went for a short walk after I got in, which was so “Chicago” of me. Apparently only bums walk on foot around West Hollywood, but I had a fun little mini-adventure. Now it’s time to chill poolside in anticipation of tomorrow’s trip to the GAP 1969 design headquarters.

Off to Los Angeles!

August 2, 2011 | Announcements

I leave Tuesday afternoon for my first official business trip, a quick jaunt to Los Angeles, California, on behalf of GAP. I will be visiting their 1969 denim line design headquarters and hanging out with Rosella Giuliani, the brand’s creative director. I’ve only been to Los Angeles twice before and I’m looking forward to seeing the cool, fashion industry side of the city.

I’ll be posting updates throughout the next two days, so check back for photos!

Oliver Peoples Hearts Chicago: Final Day (Wrigley)

For the final installment of the Oliver Peoples ♥ Chicago limited-edition sunglasses collaboration, the frames traveled to Wrigley Field for some iconic shots in and around the stadium. Lucky for me, my aunt and uncle dropped into town to take me to a Cubs game. Perfect timing! I got some lovely shots of the glasses outside of Wrigley Field after things calmed down. Although I did manage to snag a photo of the glasses inside the stadium close to home plate.
