Style with Ease
As the weather in Chicago turns from spring to summer, one thing I notice on the streets is the ability to take the shirt dress and make a one piece chic look. Whether the buttons are undone for a sexy look over a bathing suit or sleeves are shoved back with a belt like Vanessa Hudgens, it somehow works for everyone.




Take your boyfriends tuxedo shirt for example and wear it with a black pedal pusher legging from Goldsign and belt it for an affordable, recycled work look. Even an oxford tunic, with nothing but leopard mohair flats and messy hair, looks so put together with only two pieces total.
When I took notice of this not so trend, trend I of course went to my own closet for a quick overlook and stumbled across a bib-front tunic button down that I had previously worn over flowered summer dress. As I’m thinking it was maybe too short for a dress, I saw a little cotton sky blue mesh dress that I normally wear to bed and thought ill try it layered with a big brown belt. If you saw me at this moment, you’d see it was a success as I wasted no time and wore it to work.


Whether it’s like Nicki Hilton with a Phillip Lim sequin shirt dress or myself with a cotton shirt. It was an easy fix for a hot day. Enjoy the sun and heat for today and stop by and see me for our shirt dresses by magical Helmut Lang.
Baci,

Secret Saturdays at GAVIN!

Saturdays are going to be a ball at GAVIN! Every Saturday we will feature a secret Saturday special, whether an item or a category it will be a one day special, so make sure to stop by if your in the 'hood. If you're in need of a little sexy something you might just be in luck this Saturday...

One of the new items I am in love with is a very lightweight peplumed leather piece to die for. Another piece we love is a Sienna Miller designed Twenty8Twelve crocheted vest that will be in People Style Watch magazine this month. For the hippie girl in us, it feels just right. If your more of a New York girl the silk Helmut blazer is a must!!

Love, Love, Love, the pair of Erickson Beamon black crystal earrings, gorgeous with your new Moto jacket or that great new cocktail dress you've been waiting to break out.


When I was in Paris doing a little shopping for the store I saw Carine Roitfeld at the Crillon, striking in her LBD and her Moto Jacket, marching out the front door cameras flashing, those french girls know how to mix it up!
Last but not least...
GO BULLS!!!!!

To those special ladies!

To all of the Mom's out there,
I would like to applaud you for the nights you have spent walking the halls with a sick child, the days spent playing blocks on the floor, or the times you have dragged a kid kicking and screaming to the grocery store only to find that the one ingredient you've come to buy is out of stock. Then there are all of the problems you handle so well when they are older, the bitchy girl just on the verge of having her first period or that freshman boy who just doesn't get that homework really is mandatory. I could go on and on, with six kids of my own, trust me, I get it!
I also take my hat off to those of you without kids who dote on that niece or nephew or neighbor kid as if it were your own. Mother's Day is for all of you!!! Send your significant other in to GAVIN and we will make sure that you receive that special something for that special day. All non-sale merchandise is 20% off all week-end so come on in. For the last minute shoppers we will be open all day Sunday 12-5 and regular hours Friday and Saturday, 10-6.
Let those who love you treat you or treat yourself!
Kiss Kiss,
Lauren
