Dress for the Fest!

Wicker Park Fest 2012
With Wicker Park Fest quickly approaching on our calenders it's time for the inevitable question: what will you wear? Well! You could take a chic, yet musically appropriate cue from Stic of the Week. We've given you three fairly basic, comfortable yet cute looks that would be perfect to beat the heat this weekend. Even better? These outfits correlate with the different vibes of the three Wicker Park Fest headliners.


Break out darker look with a focus of some rockn' shorts and your best chucks for Kill Hannah's set on Saturday Night, a cool cut-out tee and skinnies on Friday night and finally an lighter look that's easy for Sunday's Drums performance.


By following the hints from the different genres of the headliners this weekend, you are sure to dress to impress and rock the fest.

Pride Weekend!

pride

With Pride taking over the streets of Chicago this weekend the inevitable question of what to wear  is bound to come. Pride festivities are a glorious thing for Chicago fashionistas because it gives a valuable excuse to wear anything, without restrain. On this oh so precious weekend the hidden gems of our closets are invited to come out to play. Thus the question is how to pay due to these items while still looking stylish and on trend. The key is to pick a statement piece and rock it out! Sequins, studs, rainbows and patterns galore are all valid options if you give them their own individual voice, rather than creating an overcomplicated outfit that doesn't transition back into your daily life. Pairing a statement skirt with a simple, monochromatic bralet beats the heat while still being fun and parade friendly. Incorporate glitter and sequins by pairing them with cotton basics to dress them down for daytime. By incorporating a focal point you can boast your wild style, while still remaining chic on the streets!

Are you pumped?!

Tonight's Show


Tonight at the Congress you can come and witness for yourself some truly explosive music. In the last year Foster the People's popularity has grown immensely and the same goes for new - comer Kimbra, who grabbed attention after being the female vocalist in Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know." The show tonight is gearing up to be truly spectacular - also featuring Tokyo Police Club. When it comes to what to wear to a show like this, I think less is more. On one hand, you could take a cue from Kimbra and go with a short, but sweet dress with a fun print or simply break out your best pair of jorts for the night. Either way, a cross body bag, like this one from Topshop, is going to be your best friend for hands free dancing! No matter what you wear, just don't forget your pumped up kicks! 


Before the show be sure to check out "Warrior" featuring Mark Foster, Kimbra and A Trak!
