Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

This past weekend, I headed out to the Old Town Art Festival with some of my favorite people! I always struggle with what to wear in hotter days, and with festival season in full swing...well...it gets me anxious. I decided to rock this super cool baby blue eye-print dress that I scored at Zara a couple months ago. I fell in love with it for obvious reasons (I have an eye tattoo in on the back of my neck, so yes, for very obvious reasons) and became obsessed with the material - scuba material, that is. (It's 95% polyester and 5% elastane, if we want to get technical here) Thankfully I didn't spill my drink on this gem of a dress because sangria sippin' can get dangerous. Also, the turtleneck wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I received so many comments from this lil' getup. This dress is a winner! 

EYE LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Alexander Wang 'Rocco' - AKA "Sir Alexander"

After tons of saving, researching and lusting - I pulled the trigger and bought the ALEXANDER WANG 'Rocco' bag w/ Rose Gold hardware a little over a month ago. I opted for the black pebbled leather and mygod, this baby is soft. When I first saw this back 1+ year ago, I instantly fell in love - the price tag definitely slowed my beating heart down. I gave myself a goal to treat myself after working at my first job post-grad for at least 1 year as a congratulations to starting off my career. I have probably asked at least 10+ different people if I should buy it and this is seriously one of the best materialistic purchases I have made. It is a bit heavy due to the studs at the bottom, but it was worth every penny! I bought it from Shopbop (click here to check it out) because I love their service.

I'm so happy, definitely poorer,  but happy nonetheless.

I'm sure you'll see this purse in better photographs/more posts in the future.

Rebel Roses

I love a great "kimono" - the bigger, looser and hippy-ish it can get, the better!

Sidenote: I updated my header since it was time for a change, but I'm starting to think I've fallen a little hard over flowers/roses this month.

Oh, and I've been listening to a lot of remixes lately, too.

Another shameless selfie.

Since the last time I updated I've really been having a music-filled summer - went to Pitchfork, VEVO Lift and Lollapalooza. I'd like to say that out of all the acts across different festivals/concerts, I'm still blown away that I got to see Lana Del Rey live and pretty f*ckin' close. 

Now I can finally ease into really setting up my room/the rest of the apartment - decorating is hard and expensive. I've also been trying to find a good place in the apt. to shoot some quick OOTD's, and I think I found a decent lil' spot. 

I threw on my cat lady dress that reminded me of my little white cat, Mila. I'm one of those people.

Pitchfork 2013

Post-Pitchfork blues are in full effect - Sunday's line-up was just so perfect. It was my first year going to this festival and I don't know why I've been snoozin' on it. I was lucky enough to go on Friday with co-wokers and got to scope out the scene for my Sunday adventure. I tried to hit up every stage from Blood Orange to R.Kelly. I loved seeing Sky Ferreira but M.I.A.stole my heart, her set was incredible (even if the sound was all types of effed up). Bumped into a lot of friends and had such a great time. I decided to rock my hair up in milk-maid braids, threw on my easy Wildfox dress and strapped on my doc martens. I love summertime Chi!

Happy 4th of July! 

I'm ready to grub on some carne asada and enjoy the beautiful holiday weather. Here's a quick post of my outfit - perfect time to bust out the American Flag Litas by Jeffrey Campbell. Hope everyone is celebrating Mama America's birthday with good food, family, and friends!
