Call me crazy, but despite the cold, I love a good snowfall in the city, there's something unusually romantic about that view.

Thus, to send off winter with one last stylish hoorah, join me next Thursday for sips and shopping at the Dana Hotel's Vertigo Sky Lounge. Here you'll get the chance to shop winter accessories, jewelry and faux furs, plus my favorite winter selections from Ootra, a local boutique and ecomerce site. Enjoy all of this while overlooking our beautiful city!

In addition, a portion of all sales from the evening will benefit the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) & the Walk 2014, supporting the next generation of Chicago artist & designers!

So send in your RSVP, text your girlfriends, and let's show this Chicago winter what we're made of! Hope to see you there!!
