Shedd Aquarium BLU Event Ticket Giveaway!

Shedd Aquarium BLU Event Ticket Giveaway!

July 21, 2014  |  Events

Every summer, the Shedd Aquarium Auxiliary Board hosts its highly anticipated charity event, BLU. Attended by over 1,000 young professionals each year, BLU is one of Chicago’s must-go social events of the season. For 2014, BLU will be transformed into ‘Festa de Brazil‘, a Brazilian-themed bash celebrating the aquarium’s incredible Amazon Rising river exhibit.

 

This year, I’m so honored to have been chosen as the official fashion blogger of BLU 2014! And as part of my hosting duties, I’m giving away four VIP tickets to my followers worth $250 each! Read on to learn more.

Julia’s bohemian, almost cowgirl-esque vibe instantly caught my eye amid the steel and concrete of the Loop. From her alligator and ostrich cowboy boots to the delicate braid in her hair, I absolutely loved how delightfully different she looked among the suits of the financial district.
