Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend full of relaxation, adult beverages and fun! My weekend was full of eating delicious foods at Hutch Chicago, Weber Grill Restaurant, hosting a Halloween brunch for my friends with a DIY waffle and mimosa bar and lastly, meeting up with with one of my favorite Chicago Fashion Bloggers, Jennie Wold of Actually, Just Jennie .

This past Saturday was our first time meeting up and we bonded over our love for our favorite 2 “Fs” – food and fashion. Jennie and I had some time to kill before our brunch and decided to do an impromptu street fashion shoot since I had my new Nikon D90 DSLR camera with me.

I decided to wear my French Connection “Lucy” navy lace dress to brunch. I always feel so chic wearing due to the cut and style of this dress. The lace ’60’s style shift comes in two different colors, navy and black and has a round neckline with two front pockets. I paired it with my new maroon tights from Spanx (and yes, they really do suck everything in!), my Elie Tahari Wool Winter Fox Fur Trim Coat (which I got for $100, originally $875) and accessorized with my JCrew inspired necklace from eBay.

FYI, we both went picture crazy with Jennie’s leopard fold-over clutch. The colors and quality of it popped out in every shot during the mini-photoshoot.
