Maximizing Summer

We know the drill, Fashion Week begins and so does fall... but we're not quite ready. Though we can't wait to dive into our favorite fall trends for 2012, we aren't ready to say bye to some our summer brights. So here you have it, our Glitterary effort at MAXI-mizing summer. Wear it while you can girls and wear it well ;)

Scattered Thoughts- It's a Monday.

Pardon the randomness, but it's a Monday. No style theme today, just a little J.Crew glam. What can we say, they had a sale and we were found helpless... Enjoy!

#FNO

While we mourn the fact that we couldn't attend NYFW this year, Chicago's Fashion Night Out line up sure made up for it. Thanks to our fabulous friends at CS Magazine, we attended the FNO North Bridge event where we sipped on cocktails and voted for our favorite looks by some of the Windy City's very own stylists. And what better way to top off the night than with a rooftop after party, complete with a late night runway show. Needless to say it was a great #FNO dressed in leather, peplum, and a dash of bordeaux-- Glitterary Fall Bliss!

Espresso, Skirts, and a Whole Lot of Networking

We are networking up a storm today! Like most 20-somethings, we socialize professionally, and being a social butterfly can feel like a full time job. Lucky for us, when done right, networking also means we get to drink a lot of Starbucks, attend a few fabulous soirées, and meet some amazing people. So sit, back, enjoy some businesswear inspiration, and go meet new people, but remember first impressions matter, so show the world that Glitterary charm ; )
