Last weekend on my way to Lincoln Park, I randomly ran into this lovely lady rocking the perfect relaxed weekend ensemble. I was running late to meet a friend so initially I walked past her, even though I wanted to photograph her. Then I turned around and said “F**k it” like I normally do. My friends are used to waiting for me or even worse, having me dash off mid-sentence to catch someone fashionable. I had no idea who this woman was, I just knew she had this alluring laid-back chic vibe to her. In retrospect, I’m so embarrassed I didn’t know who she was since Miriam Cecilia’s collection was my favorite at Chicago Fashion Week last fall.
I had never met Miriam Cecilia Carlson in person so I can’t be blamed! I still feel bad about it. Although honestly, it’s a better compliment anyway when I stop industry people I don’t know because I’m judging them purely on on their look that day, and not their status or name.
How cool is this? These experiences of randomness and synchronicity are just one of the many reasons I love being a streetstyle photographer! It was so nice finally meeting you Miriam and I will definitely try much harder to come to your next show.

Holly was not only included in a “Perfect Weekend Outfit” story for Refinery29, but you may remember my close-up photo of her Celine envelope purse.
A few weeks ago I was excited to receive an email from the Blonde Bedhead herself, Andrea Kerbuski. I had heard about her personal style blog from mutual friends of ours and immediately fell in love with her luxe photography and personal insights. We both graduated from Michigan State in 2008 and know the “Portland Mafia.” Y’all know who you are.
We met up last Sunday so I could photograph her for my website and introduce her blog to my readers. I was doubly delighted when she whipped out her camera to document my style for Blonde Bedhead.

*Before you comment the answer is YES. I wear the Proenza Schouler x J Brand jeans I purchased at Ikram every day. Nothing else in my closet exists and sometimes I even sleep in them.
(Just kidding, I met up with Andrea the same day Kimberle randomly photographed me. Two photo ops in one day!)
