I brunched with some of the Chicago members of BLM. It was a fun time, meeting new bloggers and noshing on the buffet offerings at Zed451.
More pics here.
I also took in the Sequin jewelry session that was a part of Fashion Focus Chicago.
Frances Renk, the force behind the marketing & development
of Sequin was interviewed by her friend and the most hilarious and down to earth
woman and fellow Chicago west-sider and wife of Charlie Trotter, Rochelle Trotter.
She took her shoes off at the beginning and invited others to do the same LOL
It was a very interesting talk about doing things outside the box.
Mrs. Trotter runs a very successful culinary business and she proudly mentioned that
she doesn't have a website but has created her business on the connections
that she has built over the years and word of mouth.
They both are wearing pieces from Sequin and I was very
surprised to learn that they produce 100,000 pieces a day.

They also make jewelry for some of the biggest name brands and
all the jewelry on Gossip Girl is made by them.
I also attended one of my favorite events, the season opening of the
Randolph Street
Market's Modern Vintage indoor market.
The next market is the first of two Holiday Markets and they are not the be missed!
I seriously never get tired of their markets, there is always so much that
I want and so many fun vendors to chat up.
One of my favorite vendors is Ms. Phyllis from "I Don't Sell Jewelry, I Sell A Look".
She is a firecracker and we are always laughing and she is always
showing me off to customers in the market like a mom...
LOL...
I can't believe that I didn't take a pic with her...next month I will for sure.
These are two bracelets that I purchased from her...Love them!

This was a multi-event, running around day, so my look was all about comfort.
