Shedd Aquarium BLU Event Ticket Giveaway!

July 21, 2014  |  Events

Every summer, the Shedd Aquarium Auxiliary Board hosts its highly anticipated charity event, BLU. Attended by over 1,000 young professionals each year, BLU is one of Chicago’s must-go social events of the season. For 2014, BLU will be transformed into ‘Festa de Brazil‘, a Brazilian-themed bash celebrating the aquarium’s incredible Amazon Rising river exhibit.

 

This year, I’m so honored to have been chosen as the official fashion blogger of BLU 2014! And as part of my hosting duties, I’m giving away four VIP tickets to my followers worth $250 each! Read on to learn more.

Each VIP ticket includes premium seating at the aquatic show, access to an open bar, gourmet tastings from over 30 top Chicago restaurants, entrance to aquarium exhibits, plus access to the official Shedd Auxiliary Board midnight afterparty at Radisson Blu. Come show your support for one of city’s cultural gems at this incredible event, and don’t miss out on your chance to attend for free!

Marni + H&M

December 17, 2011  |  Announcements, Events, Inspiration, Streetstyle
One of my favorite pair of heels (wait did I just type that?)… ok so one of the ONLY pair of heels you’ll ever catch me out and about in are a sick pair of Marni wooden pumps that have a subtle shinguard vibe to them. Call it soccer chic. Although clearly the line is not for everyone – Cathy Horyn once wrote she’s “allergic” to their designs. I like the weird, the quirky, and the off-beat, so naturally Marni’s point-of-view resonates with me.

“[Consuelo Castiglioni] aims for a sensuality of the mind”
-Tim Blanks 
Marni+H&M is a collaboration I’ll be spending the night outside on the cold, cruel pavement for a chance to purchase some pieces. I know I’ll see some of you there, especially my pal Luis Torres, the blogger behind Chic Overload. I first met him in line at Lanvin+H&M. Although he denies the encounter I only told him my first name and didn’t say anything about my blog, so I can’t blame him. He didn’t say anything about his blog either so we were just two random people chatting about nothing, but I know it was him because he was first in line. I had wandered up to the front to get the DL on rumors floating around about the wristband shopping plan. It was only after we became good friends months later that I put two-and-two together. Yes, it was you Luis and you can’t deny it any longer! 🙂
