A fashionable Obama fundraiser, Buzzed on Fashion coverage, Louboutin is on the way and more

This post is all about fashion, baby!  Get your credit cards and money ready because you’ll hear more sounds of  beautiful heels clickin’ and see more high fashion struttin’ on Chicago’s street pavements with the Christian Louboutin store opening here on Oak St in the old Esquire building! Ooh la la!

On Saturday I was invited to Benchmark for a special event called Buzzed on Fashion, a fashion forward champagne brunch.  Boutiques- Handle With Care, cityblue, and Sara Jane all teamed up to showcase the latest summer fashions worn by Chicago’s own Factor Models.  The weather was beautiful and the champagne was a-pourin’ as I saw looks that sparked my interest and made my wallet burn.
