Welcome AIKO

If you are not already familiar with AIKO, you need to get in the store and try it on! AIKO is a modern concept that is based around the idea of reinventing the classic "sweatshirt". The creative director Cynthia Mittweg, was born in London and moved to Tokyo at a young age, so her life has been enriched with music, art and fashion. It launched at Barneys in spring 2010 and has expanded to leathers and furs, from a casual point of view, ever since. It's comfort and price is worth the trip!!

Kisses,
Michaela

Pick: Rag and Bone Bardot Bikini

Why: This bikini doesn’t just have to be worn in the water. Try pairing it with bright colored denim and an oversized sheer shirt or even a long skirt and necklace can make this more than just a swimsuit. Here, I tried to funk up this bikini for your travel spots all around the world.

Pick: Pencey Standard Black Slit Dress

Why: As most of us have seen the maxi trend this season, my current obsession is the sexy slit up the leg. This dress is not only affordable but also comfy. Evanston’s own Christina Minasian explains that the idea behind this collection is to provide simple, classic layering pieces that fit intoany wardrobe. This style specifically is timeless and can be worn through all seasons.

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,

Michaela
