Leah is one of the most stylish women I know. I caught up with her on Chicago’s Goose Island, an industrial area that complements her edgy, fashion-forward personal style. I love how she channeled spring’s big black & white trend with a fitted tuxedo jacket, black leather pants and layers of silver jewelry.

Leah’s raw Chicago sensibility translated well onto a classic laid-back California girl like Kelsey. Trends are endlessly customizable – that’s the beautiful thing about fashion! I found this gorgeous designer tuxedo jacket at T.J.Maxx for an unbelievable $179.99, compared to $360 elsewhere, and added some edge with a pair of black and white boots. A fitted jacket is a great investment piece since you can wear it in so many different ways as Leah and Kelsey illustrate perfectly!
