A Sneak Peek Of What's To Come F/W 2011


Dear Fashionistas,
I know it's hard to think of fall/winter attire when Chicago finally settled into summer.  But we just can't keep this a secret any longer.  Anastasia Chatzka was so kind to let Fashionista Chicago into her loft studio to see what's in store for our chilly months ahead.  Straight off the runway, many designers are showcasing a bit of men's style in women's collections such as plaid suits and shirts including Chanel and Sonya Rykiel.  Our home town talent has done just the same with soft wool in pink, blue and green plaid.  The dress above showcases the trend on menswear but takes it to another level by pulling in the waist for a feminine silhouette.  We are gushing over the large keyhole detail in back.

The hot color this season is Bordeaux and Chatzka nailed it with this bohemian take on an evening dress and macramé tank that can be worn separate.  The Maxi is transitioning into fall and is always popular.  We are embracing the look of femme-meets-bohemian feel.  So chic and comfy!

Ta Ta,
Nicki

Goorin-Second to None!

Dear Fashionistas,

We all know hats were the start of the luxury designer CHANEL fame around 1910.  But there was also someone else carving the way before our fav designer made her way into our hearts.

Goorin Brothers in it’s fourth generation started crafting timeless chapeaus in 1895 and sold their first hat off a horse drawn cart on the cobblestone streets in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

The European inspired hat makers have several designs for men and women including fedoras, baseball caps, knits and cadets.
I just bought a fab dark grey wool fedora with a wide black silk band sprinkled with a fantastic red design! The craftsmanship on this hat is second to none.
Check out Goorin now in Chicago!  1533 N Milwaukee Ave or 3243 N Broadway.
