The Look Spring 2009: Disco meets Deco French Riviera

pat-clevelandI’m looking forward to spring, if only to feel the sun on my shoulders.  For a some of the looks I am itching to recreate (or at least scope) click here

some highlights:

Tracy Reese’s collection has me laced all up in it….

Disco meets Deco French Riviera is a pervasive look, alongside a lot of flapper influenced shapes….

Phillip Lim is bananas! (in the best way)

and local designer Maria Pinto has got whisper soft chiffon on lock (see below, in magenta).

the Brooklyn Circus

brooklyn-circuslogoSo, I am in in love with a carney The Brooklyn Circus.  Great boutique in the NYC.  But was I excited to discover that said fly-ass boutique has an outpost here in Chicago!

The BKC has got great urban clothing that is for folks doing holy work (i.e.: not so-fly-you-can’t-get-your-hands-dirty).  They say on their site, “The beautiful art of well dressed, intelligent people should never be lost. Please help us as we nurture timeless Style and Character, past, present and future”….with just a touch of freak flag going on.  Love. Love. Love.
