Floral Fusion
If you're like us, you're anxiously awaiting the warm weather that will allow you to rock a spring floral. Jessica is so over the wait. She's found a way to work this print into her layered winter wardrobe, and we give her snaps for that. Bonus points for a voluminous scarf and top knot, we never get sick of that Chicago standard.

Pendelton Cape
Sheer unadulterated joy. It's a rare, but welcome bird on the pages of Très Awesome. Not that the people posted there aren't happy, it's just striking a pose and looking giddy just often don't go hand in hand.

The Divine Ms. M
I spotted Ms. M sauntering down the street from about a block away this weekend. How could I miss her in that spectacular huge fur hat. Also, can we talk about her jacket, the silhouette is so unique. It's a vintage Giorgio Armani men's suit jacket from the 80's. The quality of Ms. M's personal style is well worn, thoughtful and casually glamorous. She is without a doubt one of the most stylish women I have ever photographed in Chicago.

The Best of 2011 on Très Awesome
Here's a round up of my favorite shots from the past year. There were so many stylish folks it was hard to choose. Capturing all this street style can really wear a girl out, so I'll be on vacation in a tropical environment for the next week without my laptop (GASP).

Eider in Wicker Park
When I bump into an extraordinarily stylish person I often feel like it's fate intervening. Like two pieces of a cosmic style puzzle coming together. I spotted Eider and her boyfriend as they were exploring Wicker Park this weekend while on holiday from Barcelona (How I WISH we could claim this one as our own!).

If You Seek Style and Lodis
Lovely Caylee M. of the personal style blog If You Seek Style was kind enough to do a little street style photo shoot with items sent to me by Lodis. I really love this bag they sent me, it has a pocket for my laptop and it makes going to work a little sweeter and definitely more luxurious.
