Topknots are becoming more popular in Chicago. The style was first popularized by Denni Elias and Susie Bubble, although I suppose it was ballerinas who were the real progenitors.
Xin told me she traveled to Chicago from China for a major shopping trip. With her Chanel purchase in hand, she was not kidding.
Notice that both John and Courtney removed the laces from their shoes. True style is all about subtle details.
