Raise Your Glass...in honor of Bill Cunningham

                This weekend I had the privilege to attend a party in honor of famed photographer, Bill Cunningham. The party was hosted in the Tula Boutique (3738 N. Southpost) on the North side of Chicago. The invitation encouraged coming "dressed to impress" and me and my girls, definitely did. Upon arrival to the invitation only event, we had our pictures taken and were handed the cutest and clever gift bags and quickly escorted into the dressy casual ambiance inside of the store.

               The boutique itself was sophisticated and chic in motif, which perfectly matched the co owner Laura Westgate who runs the store with her mother. I found it to be a very warm and inviting atmosphere. I also had the pleasure of meeting some local fashion legends, including: bloggers Afro Bella blog, Nikia Jefferson of chitownfashionista, and Luis Torres of chicitytrends.com, all of which are extremely kind and personable people. We all met in honor and celebration of Mr. Cunningham whom popularized street style. There was a movie screening across the street in theatre and an after party following. Needless to say, my night was kind of, no completely amazing! =)
