Jena Gambaccini and her new Missoni dress with Corri McFadden in line
This past Saturday morning before attending the Erin Gordon trunk show I actually work up early for the 10 a.m. VIP shopping slot at the Gilt City Chicago warehouse sale. I also got my good friend Jena Gambaccini a last minute VIP shopping slot and she brought her boss and friend Corri McFadden, the ultra-chic owner of Shop E-Drop Off.
The Gilt City Chicago warehouse sale sold out quickly and shoppers with tickets lined up around the block for a chance to score mad deals on designer goods. Everyone I saw left with massive shopping bags and I saw several groups of women squealing with glee over the discounts they received on expensive brands like Frye, Marc Jacobs, and Missoni.
Even the boys came out to shop!
I landed a Surface to Air studded sweater, a Marc Jacobs red metallic plaid blazer, and a Marc Jacobs gold dress in the same pattern.

Corri and Jena recently launched a new blog called “
The Style Tribe” where five women document their personal styles one day at a time. It’s a really great concept and is basically a hybrid personal style blog with a street-style twist. It’s my new favorite Chicago fashion blog!
Erin Gordon for Sarca

This past Saturday I attended my second
Erin Gordon trunk show at
Sarca hosted by Lesley Prizant Goodman. Erin Gordon’s bracelets have gone viral within the Chicago fashion set, helped in no small part by her recent features in Time Out Chicago, Chicago Social (CS Magazine) and on Refinery29. In fact, I was wearing one of her bracelets to a VIP event at
Shrine Haberdashery and a woman came up to me to ask if my bracelet was by Erin Gordon. Make sure to stop by Sarca to check out her Spring 2011 collection. Click below to continue reading.

Sarca client Molly Hamilton arrived early to create her own custom set of Erin Gordon bracelets. Alexis, Siera, Erin, and her assistant Brooke all worked together to make sure Molly received the perfect combination of colors and charms. The bracelets are available with a wide variety of beads and charms, including handcuffs, pistols, skulls, feathers, Buddhas, and elephants, to name a few. There are also a wide variety of semi-precious stone beads, including jade, labradorite, quartz, lapis lazuli, turquoise, along with many more. After much debate over the combination of colors and charms, Molly was a happy customer and left with a wrist full of Erin Gordon bracelets!

Building Molly’s perfect set of bracelets
I picked up a jade bracelet with a large skull bead – perfect for balancing out my sometimes overly-sweet personality. I realized it’s time to add some edge to my wardrobe and Erin Gordon is there to help!
