Jena, Nicole, and Erin Love Color! Final Giveaway!

I partnered up with The Style Tribe to help promote my second round of Cheer giveaways – scroll down to the bottom read how you can enter for a chance to win a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses or an iPod Nano! Cheer has relaunched their brand and their entire mission is to keep fashionable clothing bright. Read below to see why these three members of The Style Tribe love color!

Jena

When people ask me how I describe my style, the first word that comes to mind is color. I don’t feel myself unless I have at least one bright element in my outfit. Color makes me happy and overall, I think it just makes everything better.
– Jena Gambaccini
Nicole

Color sends messages. Color lifts moods. Color evokes emotion.

– Nicole Maarja

Erin

I love color because it’s such an easy way to make a statement with your style.  Even if it’s just a subtle pop in your clothing or accessories, a little bit goes a long way. 

– Erin Brennan

ASOS Fall 2011 Private Preview

August 26, 2011  |  Special Features, Trends

Yesterday I was invited to a secret preview of the ASOS Fall 2011 collection at the Hotel Sax. I felt a bit like a kid in a candy store with so many amazing pieces at ridiculously affordable price points. I couldn’t help but wonder if London is aware of Chicago’s infatuation with British style. Between the debut of TopShop in a couple weeks and the opening of AllSaints Spitalfields a month ago, the English are certainly aiming to establish their presence in the Windy City. ASOS is an online-only retailer based in the U.K., but their free shipping policies have earned them a solid customer base here in Chicago.

As a street-style photographer, it’s really exciting to see the famously trend-obsessed Brits influencing our style for the better. I have a feeling that the old stereotype of Chicago as a non-fashion city is fast fading. Tastemakers and financiers from across the Atlantic Ocean see Chicago as a rapidly developing fashion market.

Below are a few of my favorite pieces from the presentation.
