Celine Me Alone!

Theme of today: "Celine me Alone"

Leather has been an obsession and is an obsesh of mine. I love to wear it casually and I love to wear it formally. Why not take Monday by the horns and rock some leather pantalones! Who doesn't love a casual, chic look?! I almost want to call this, my "Power Suit." I'm also crushing hard on this blazer from ASOS. Nothing like a little Lady Gaga shoulder pads to get your day going.

NHL Playoff Fashion: Before and After

Well, well, well! If it isn't Friday again!

This week the ladies of Sports Divas, Inc were tasked with the job of providing inspiration to all female Chicago Blackhawks fans, on what to wear during the playoff season. Since we can't grow playoff beards, or at least not well, we show our playoff spirit with fashion! Thanks to FOX Good Day in Chicgo for opening your doors to the team! We had a blast!

Before look (photo above): The ever ill fitting jersey. Why is it ill fitting? Because the ones made for females are generally pink, and look like they have been attacked by some three year-old carrying a bedazzler. True story. Sometimes its hard to make a jersey look spectacular when the shape is boxy and baggy. As women know....we don't need any extra curves. 

Finally, let's celebrate that it's semi-warm weather in Chicago with incorporating the trends from Spring/Summer in with a Blackhawks gameday look...we now shall transition to my "after-look"...

After look (photos below): Thanks to Chicago Sports Divas and Clark Street Sports, I was able to take this retro logo grey tee and make it the focal point of my Spring look! There is no crying in hockey and there is no rule that says you can't wear a pink lace skirt with a Blackhawks tee. The trends from this Spring are bright, vibrant and neon-y. Pair a bright skirt, bright color or patterned skinny belt with your Blackhawks tee. Jazz it up with some accessories and pumps, and BAM....you have a look great for work, drinks, game watch or my fav, brunch!

What are your inspiration this playoff season?

Leather Coated Monday

OMG shoes! 

In my desperate attempt to bring Spring closer to Chicago, I'm punching this Winter-Spring hybrid in the face with a leather coated sheer sweater and denim shorts. I mean, in reality, this is all sorts of ridiculousness. It's now May 12 and Chicagoans are still not in the clear of Winter. The weather is deceptively cool. Temperature at time of shoot: 48 degrees. Patooy!

Well I don't want to take this time to talk about the weather, let's move on shall we?

Like the weather, my look is a hybrid of the seasons, a transitional look if you will. A pair of boyfriend denim shorts, a leather coated sheer sweater and some taupe booties. It's the recipe for a seasonal cusp look. Here's to hoping that the weather does not digress...I shall not digress.

PS How great is the kid who snuck in to a few of my shots? He was driving a remote control car on the sidewalk.....I was in his way....and he in mine.

Leopard and Neons!

TGIF! 

And lets be real, it's not Friday without some leopard and neon accents! ASOS did me right, yet again, with this gorg Vero Moda leopard dress! Dress it up with some neons or dress it down with some neutrals for a more casual, understated look. On a side note, I could probably sleep in this fushia suede pumps I love them so much. 

Is it me, or is my skin as bright as a neon too? Man do I need tan and stat!

So tell me, how do you like your leopard?

Also, for those of your enjoying Spring in places where Spring has sprung, we are fighting. As you can see, my Spring consists of dirt :)

PS Thanks to Libertyville for being my lovely backdrop for this piece.

DIY: Talk Derby To Me

It's amazing what you can do with some structured ribbon, fake flowers, straw hats and a hot glue gun. Last Derby season, I wore a store bought hat...lame. This Derby season, I DIY'd the heck out of my hat. 

Objective: to create a one mile radius around us, with just our hats. After saying excuse me 1,000 times, I threw in the towel and let the hat at as a machete while walking through crowds to get to the bathroom. FIY - I was not at the Derby. I spent the afternoon with some friends at American Junkie :) PS The hat served its purpose in more ways than one....I made it to the bathroom every time. 

As if my hat wasn't large enough, I wore the brightest colored dress in my closet. With the Derby, go big or go home. While I didn't bet on any of the ponies, I think Jenna and I still walked away winners!

Also, things we have learned....I need a spray tan like whoa...

Happy Monday and hope y'all have recovered from the Derby!
