I finally had a chance to take some Chicago street-style photos this weekend. I know you guys are probably sick of so many New York Fashion Week photos. One of the things that really sucks about the “street style olympics” as my friend Mr. Newton calls it is that everyone gets the same photos of the same people in the same outfits. Sure, maybe one photographer gets a better angle or lighting than another, but content wise it’s all the same for the most part. The key word here is oversaturation. I much prefer the solitude and peacefulness of shooting street-style in Chicago, where I know that 99.9% of the photos I get are exclusive to me.
Taelyn was one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever spotted. She was bursting with positive energy, vivacious, and full of personality. One of the main reason I love practicing street-style so much is because it brings me into contact with all of these amazing people who I would never have a chance to interact with otherwise. Considering Taelyn is visiting Chicago from St. Louis where she lives, I’d say that’s pretty much true.

The very beautiful and chic Mia made her way onto Refinery29 yesterday. Click here to view that post.
She is also wearing an Yves Saint Laurent ring. I’ve been adoring these YSL rings for years, as YSL is right up there with Chanel in terms of classic fashion costume jewelry. Don’t believe me? Obviously you don’t watch The Rachel Zoe Project or visit Sofia on Oak Street.
