Fashion Focus Chicago 2010

This past week all of the pretty, fashionable people were seen in Millennium Park for Fashion Focus Chicago. I was very excited about Fashion Focus Week as I am with anything pertaining to fashion. Let me just say that it didn't start off on the right note.

The first stop on my agenda was the Macy's Chicago Fashion Incubator & CS Magazine Show. Admission was free so I knew that I had to get there early in order to get a decent seat. We were the very first ones in line. A line that we had to stand in for an hour and a half, just to be told that due to over booking VIP seats, we wouldn't even be able to view the show from the actual tent but behind it and watch it on the screen.

As you can imagine, this did not make me too happy. As a lover of all things fashion, I was NOT going to watch the show on a screen, so I left. Ticked off, my friend and I decided to go and have a martini where we met some fab, new friends along the way. The night turned out to be ok given the bad situation.

The next event scheduled was the Smartwater and Chicago Magazine present Mario, Make Me a Model and Wave of Fashion event. Being that this event was also free, I didn't want a repeat of the day before so we decided to save ourselves from the possible frustration and chose not to go.

The highlight of the week was the Friday, October 22nd event, StyleChicago presents the Art of Fashion. Now this event was worth every penny of the $96 VIP ticket! It started off with a cocktail reception where I got to meet tons of FABULOUS people, including some designers from the show. Oh and did I mention the huge goodie bag? The highlight of my night was meeting former model, actress, fashion editor Candace Jordan!! She was so sweet and down to earth. My BFF, Rodney always talks about her so it was a pleasure to finally meet her. Be sure to check out her blog: Candid Candace!

I also got a chance to talk to fashion designers, Borris Powell (finally), Paul Sisti and Richard (James) Morse of the Kirk James Collection. The other featured designers that were in attendance were: Lara Miller, Elda de la Rosa and Lauren Lein, along with emerging designers: Hector-Javier MonArrez, Lydia Wawrzyniak and Fraley Le. The show was a huge success and I'm very happy that my week turned out to be a good one!

iT Factor Agency and Snoop Dogg Take Chi-town by Storm!!

Snoop with iT Factor CEO, Mikeya Summerville

Hey wonderful iT people!

Welcome to another fashionable party at iT Factor Agency! We have been doing a lot in the fashion industry lately and expanding our client base to major celebrities. One of our most recent celebs was rapper-actor Snoop Dogg AKA the Godfather of Rap.

The west-coast rapper came to Chicago last week with big plans to expand his Los Angeles based, Snoop Youth Football League to children from the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). The football camp was held at Chicago Indoor Sports on the city’s South Side, in conjunction with Windows of Opportunity’s annual Back to School Bash.

Each station was coached by a current or former Chicago Bears player; including Brian Urlacher, DJ Moore and Otis Wilson. To top that off, he even had a private VIP reception at Chicago's favorite Adidas store in the Water Tower. Interviewing with the press, taking countless photos, and shopping for Adidas’ trendiest merchandise; Snoop definitely showed his fashionisto persona. iT Factor Agency teamed up with I Am Image, Inc. to help produce a grand event, filled with celebs and notable sports figures.

Check out some of the pics of the fabulous iT Factor staff at Chicago Indoor Sports, interacting with the media, with our friends at Powerade and Vitamin Water and of course The D-O Double G himself!

Inner Fashionista

I always feel bad when some women feel like they have no sense of style. Usually this type of thinking leads to them not even trying to make an effort. I find this unacceptable. I'm a true believer that all women have an "Inner Fashionista"! She just needs help embracing and unleashing her.

"What I often see is that people are scared of fashion — because they're frightened or insecure, so they put it down...There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous," said Anna Wintour in "The September Issue".

I happen to agree with Anna on this. I do feel that in general, we are afraid of what we don't understand. It may seem trivial or even shallow, but dressing well is extremely important. To me, your appearance says a lot about you as a person. For example, if I were walking down the street and saw a woman (or man) that looked disheveled, like they just got up and rolled out of bed, I couldn't take that person seriously. It tells me that they really don't care about how they are viewed...and not to mention it just looks BAD! 


Ladies, THERE ARE NO EXCUSES...WE HAVE OPTIONS!! Tons of options! There's never an excuse to look bad. Even on a budget, we can look like a million bucks. All it takes is some effort. A plain t-shirt and jeans can be transformed into something chic with a jacket, heels and some jewelry. Actually, just accessories alone, can turn a drab outfit into something fab!


If you don't know where to start, pick up some fashion mags like: InStyle (my fav!), Elle, W, Vogue, etc.  Grab a friend that you can trust to go shopping with to help pick out different looks. Try out a few and see what works for you. The key is to make an effort! Don't be afraid...DISCOVER YOUR INNER FASHIONISTA AND BE FABULOUS!!
