Samantha Sleeper Pop-Up

Radical new designer alert!  Samantha Sleeper has temporarily set up shop on Oak Street with a selection of her gorgeous wares.

I snapped these photos outside of the launch party Monday night. One of the coolest features of the location (besides the clothes of course) is one of Samantha's weird and wonderful illustrations plastered on the front window of the shop.

There's a ton of amazing stuff to buy ranging from this stunning (if aspirational) cocktail number to some very affordable sundresses, jackets, skirts and blouses.

You'd be a fool not to go check this out before it's gone, and it's going fast. The pop-up is only open for a couple more days (through this Sunday, May 27th). So what are you waiting for?!

Jacqueline Hoover in Wicker Park

Jackie looks beautiful here in this simple white dress and Ray-Ban Wayfarers. She works at CS Magazine in their marketing department now, but I'll always remember her as the very best intern Très Awesome has ever had. They grow up so fast ;) Take a look at more photos of Ms. Hoover looking amazing on the blog both here and here.

Samantha Saifer Berngard

Samantha is the director of events at Sun-Times Splash. She looks incredible here in this matching sweater set and leather jacket. I wish I could shop this photo, because I would wear the shiz out of this outfit.

DJ Lani Love

Lani Nguyen is a woman of many talents. By day she's a strategist at Leo Burnett and by night she's DJ Lani Love who spins places like Paris Club, The Bedford and other cool Chicago haunts.  I love this crazy ensemble she's wearing, so good.
