Style Charade

Earlier this week I posted this photo of blogger Jennifer Lake of Style Charade (post here).

I wasn't familiar with Jennifer and her blog before seeing this, and now I am definitely going to be a regular follower. I love her fun and feminine style. She wears color and stripes and prints, and it's all fabulous. I haven't come across any new fashion blogs in a while that have me as excited as this one.

Here are just a few photos from her Instagram feed. 

Chicago Girls Weekend

I'm so grateful for an amazing twin sister and the best girl friends for an incredible girls weekend to celebrate our upcoming wedding. From Oregon, Washington, California, New York, D.C., and even Alaska, East and West met in Chicago last weekend for food, shopping, and fun. And it was perfect. Here's a instagram recap of our weekend!

Designer Profile

Kelly Whitesell and Elizabeth Del Castillo met at the age of 14. Their shared interest in digging through thrift and antique stores brought them together and ultimately led to the opening of their store, Eskell, in Chicago in 2005.

"The philosophy of Eskell is deeply threaded in that of personal style. The idea that clothing is a chance to engage in life and self expression is one of the best things about being a woman. A woman’s wardrobe should be a creation of character shamelessly pulled from all alleys of inspiration. Eskell is about clothing that is feminine and classy yet always wanting to look modern and sexy. "
