Alice + Olivia Comes to Michigan Avenue

 

 

Calling all fashionistas! Alice + Olivia just opened a brand new store on Michigan Avenue. As a long time Alice + Olivia fan, I am particularly excited about this. This is their 13th store in the US, and the 1,000 sq. ft. store has officially opened its doors today. The new boutique is adorned with a mural on the celling, original artwork designed by Stacey Bendet, brass fixtures and vintage furniture – a juxtaposition of Mid-century meets opulent finishes with strategically placed pops of color! With neighbors like Louis Vuitton, Chanel. and Gucci, they are definitely in good company. Have you checked out their playful, new boutique yet?

Get The Look: Nicole Richie in Givenchy Florals

There is not a lot Nicole Richie hasn’t done. She shaved her eyebrows off when she was 11, had a hit reality show, and now is one of the top fashion icons…all while still saving time to tend to her at home garden. This past weekend at the Lucky Mag weekend, I found out that she wears dresses because her daughter loves it, and it was also her daughters request that she dye her hair lilac. While Richie looks like a princess in the eyes of her daughter, she showed up to FABB looking nothing short of glam rock. The piece that grabbed my attention? Her over-sized Givenchy floral blazer. Can’t afford to drop a cool $3,000? No problem. Here are some other floral options perfect for Spring!

OOTD

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending Snowball; a fabulous black tie charity event put on by The Junior Council. While I love dressing up, I do not like typical black tie garb, so I switched it up with a top and skirt combo, fun bag, and bright heels.

Phones and Fingers

With technology at the tips of our fingers 24/7, skimping out on a well dressed IPhone is not an option. Think of your phone as an accessory. You would never wear a rubber studded shirt, so why would that go on your phone? If you paid $200 for your little baby, you better take care of it.

Here are five fun case options, along with five nail polishes to give you that extra oomph.
