Lindsey Wixson

LindsayWixson
This photograph of Lindsey Wixson was actually the first street style photograph I took during New York Fashion Week. This photo is on 62nd Street between Columbus and Broadway, right around the corner from Lincoln Center. She was the first person I met and photographed, and she was so kind and sweet. We chatted a bit about growing up in the Mid-South (she’s from Kansas and I grew up in Arkansas). I knew then and there that my first NYFW was going to be a magical one.
I didn’t want to delay her too long and set up a perfect shot since she was on her way to a show downtown at Milk Studios. Even though this photo isn’t the best, Lindsey looks beautiful as always and I wanted to share this special moment with my readers.

(As if you can’t already tell from the photograph, it was super windy that day)

Wish List Wednesday: Music Festival Luxury

March 2, 2011  |  Chicago Street Fashion, Wish List
March 3 Wish List

Music Festival Luxury Wish List:
1. Missoni Beaded Dress
2. SWORD Leather Jacket
3. YSL Tribute Heels
4. Michael Kors Watch
5. Tory Burch Silk Gold Leggings
6. Proenza Schouler Canvas Purse

The theme this week is summer music festivals. The new incarnation of Rothbury is Electric Forest, held at the same location on Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan. Tickets go on sale March 5 at 12 pm EST, grab yours while you still can! All the news about music festival line-ups has me yearning for the summer more than ever. After a long and snowy Chicago winter, I am getting excited thinking about the upcoming Chicago summer music festivals like Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, and North Coast Fest. The best part about living in Chicago are all the summer events so I put together a designer outfit themed around the Chicago music festivals.

It goes without saying that this outfit is for the fantasy music festival devoid of dirt or crazy people, and therefore exists solely in my daydreams. But seriously, how beyond is that psychedelic multicolored Missoni beaded dress? In another universe I could see myself wearing this to Coachella or Pitchfork, with the SWORD leather jacket thrown over top to keep warm during the evening. Metallic gold silk Tory Burch Leggings will keep my legs protected from the harsh rays of the sun. And the YSL Tribute heels – well a girl can dream, can’t she? Only the most dedicated fashionista could survive a music festival, even an urban one like Lollapalooza, in these bad boys. A Michael Kors watch to keep track of the time to avoid missing the next show, and a summery Proenza Schouler canvas purse to keep festival necessities close at hand.

When I first started this blog I had a weekly feature I called “Wish List.” I wrote posts about items I was lusting after and created little wish lists. It was more about me having fun than anything else. After spending the past six months exclusively focusing on developing my street style skills I think it’s time for me to get back to being creative with this blog and thinking outside of the box. So after much deliberation I decided to resurrect this feature. The “Wednesday Wish List” will give my readers a chance to get to know me and my tastes better. As if you didn’t already know I am totally consumed with luxury and designer labels!
