Trend Alert: Pink Ladies

Posted by Lucy McBride on October 28, 2013 · Leave a Comment 

There’s a new color on the street folks. Nope, it’s not burgundy, not army green, not navy, gold or even holographic (that counts as a color now, right?) It’s PALE PINK. I’ve spotted unexpected pops of this shade on the runways, in the streets and on bloggers. While typically reserved for ritzy French macaroons, Easter … Continue reading →

Weekend

Posted by Lesley on July 28, 2013 · 1 Comment 

Hi folks, it’s been a while. In the time since I last posted a style shot, I cut my hair twice, grew it out two inches, travelled to Boston and to Connecticut, and took and finished web dev and design classes. It’s good to be back. This is what I wore to run some errands … Continue reading →

Lucy’s Coachella Recap

Posted by Lucy McBride on May 8, 2013 · 1 Comment 

Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile since Coachella Music & Arts Festival wrapped, but I’ve been so busy in the showroom that I’ve had zero time to sit down and write about the experience. Several weeks later, I’m still riding the high from experiencing some of the world’s greatest musical talents in one of … Continue reading →

Luxe Leather

Posted by Lesley on January 31, 2013 · Leave a Comment 

Winter in Chicago is, well… cold. And sometimes it’s just too hard to look trendy and keep warm at the same time. Luckily, all you need for this is a pair of leather pants and a faux fur coat. Wearing a Topshop faux fur coat and leather trousers with an F21 tie-dye long-sleeved tee and … Continue reading →

Pretty Grunge

Posted by Lesley on December 13, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

This vintage floral skirt that I found at a thrift shop a few years ago and altered has been a trusty fall-back item. Black tee, leather jacket, skirt, boom. Instant outfit. I paired my vintage floral skirt with a black peplum t-shirt from Forever21. The flare at the waist of the shirt in combination with … Continue reading →

Girly Linebacker

Posted by Lesley on November 29, 2012 · 1 Comment 

I’ve been really into “trousers” lately. I guess calling them something other than pants makes me feel more grown up and sophisticated. Truth is, 23 is an awkward age when you’re both too young and too old. I try to remedy this situation with my wardrobe — mixing classic, adult pieces with edgier, youthful trends. … Continue reading →

Monster Sweater

Posted by Lesley on November 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Bought a sweater that a little kid would love just as much as a grown man. I paired a Forever 21 monster graphic sweater (two sizes too big) with skinny leather trousers from Topshop for a look that is comfy but pulled together. The Cooperative beanie I’m wearing is my absolute favorite, and the pointed … Continue reading →

Dope A$$ Chicks

Posted by Lucy McBride on November 23, 2012 · 1 Comment 

I am LOVING how more chicks these days aren’t afraid to rock streetwear – yes, the androgynous look is unique and gutsy, but it can also be badass and sexy.  Take, for examples the following chicks who are getting it right: Waltz in Black – Waltz in Black is a Southern Californian with a penchant … Continue reading →

Snakeskin and Ox Blood

Posted by Lesley on November 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Rocking three of fall’s most predominant trends — snakeskin print, ox blood, and a monochromatic color scheme. WHAM. I got this sweater at LF Boston on my trip out there to visit my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. There’s no LF in Chicago (LF peeps, if you’re out there reading this, PLEASE PLEASE open one here), so … Continue reading →

Pattern Play

Posted by Lesley on November 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Today was an unseasonably warm Sunday for Chicago in November — 67 degrees. I was actually sweating in this outfit. Alas that tomorrow it’s supposed to plunge into the 30s. Bye bye indian summer for good. Mixing prints has become a favorite outfit staple. Both leopard and camo are the new blacks this season, so I … Continue reading →
