I was recently published in the Spring copy of The Chicago View highlighting what's on my Spring Shopping List!

| You can read my article below, and check out the whole issue of The Chicago View here! |
I've been getting tons of questions about who I was wearing in the photo, so I wanted to fill people in on my look and the awesome local designers and boutiques that I found these pieces from! I'm rocking a few of my highlighted trends including; white, lace, and the white/blush combo!
My jewelry is by two of my favorite local designers. 3 Hearts Boutique made these insane rose gold hoops, and Ali's Collection made this gorgeously perfect go-to hoop necklace! They both are great pieces that truly work with everything!
My cashmere and lace sweater is by Autumn Cashmere and from one of the best boutiques in the city, Cinnamon! I make it my duty to purchase a fun and unique cashmere sweater from them at least once a year!
Lastly, my skirt is....wait for it....my prom dress! No lie, I had my floor length white two piece prom dress from 2000 (totally aging myself here) altered to make the perfect fun and flirty knee length skirt for Spring! I'm obsessed...probably mainly for the fact that it still fits me, but a close second is how perfect the A-line, short, white skirt is for this season!
I paired the look with a black booty and a an over-sized leather bag to give a bit of edge to an otherwise quite girly look. I felt I was the perfect combo of funky and fun in this ensemble!

What’s on a personal stylist’s Spring
shopping list?
There
are so many fashion magazines, blogs, and websites out there that it’s hard to
know what to believe when it comes to what’s “hot” in fashion each season!
As
a personal stylist my clients count on me to break down the most wearable and
long lasting looks so they don’t have to!
Below is my simple and relatable checklist for this spring’s hottest
trends. Keep in mind they’re all easy to
incorporate into your looks and the best part is that you most likely already
have some of them in your closet!
Hot color for Spring: WHITE! Head to toe looks in white are
everywhere! If that’s too monochromatic
for you, blush and white color combos are also going to be hot for Spring!
Hot pattern for Spring: GINGHAM! This fun and flirty pattern is
easy to incorporate! Try a classic
gingham print shirt for a fun addition to your Spring wardrobe!
Hot detail for Spring: LACE! A modern lace dress or just a
subtle lace trim, either way, lace makes everything more extravagant!
Hot material for Spring: SUEDE! Leather has been a strong
facet of the trend list for a few years now, but this Spring it’s all about the
suede! Try an A-line skirt in your
favorite neutral!
Hot shape for Spring: SHIRT DRESS! Such a great
style to dress up for work or weekend!
It’s also a perfect option to carry you from the first days of Spring
through the early days of Summer!
Hot jewelry for Spring: DROP NECKLACE! Long pendant
necklaces are the new hot trend and easy to throw on with any look plus they’re
great at elongating you!
