Last week, the Chicago Blogger Network gals and I got together to style a lookbook’s worth of fall fashion by the uber-talented Lara Miller.
As you’ll see, Lara’s versatile designs are comfortable, eco-friendly and super stylish. The hardest part of shopping her studio was paring down which pieces to photograph…Which is why I snuck in two separate looks!
Here are my looks, as well as some of my favorites from the night.

Special thank you to Bret for the fantastic photos, Risa for doing my make-up, and David for doing some serious work on my hair.
Check out more photos from the event here.

Totally cute- your eyes are seriously popping green in these photos! I love these cute outfits! The one Ashleigh it wearing is one I wish I owned.Do you do styling as well in Chicago?

Thanks, Kendra! The make-up artist used a lime color scheme for that reason. She was so great! It was a fun event
I don’t do styling professionally, but I do “help” friends, family and coworkers who need a little inspiration/shopping supervision.
What about you?
