Project Emilie: Chicago Extravaganza

Emilie recently said, "everyone knows about my modeling career."  As a Project Emilie fan, I think you'll be happy to know that her modeling career was taken to the next level in a new city: Chicago.  My cousin (Emilie's nephew), David, got married, and we were excited to celebrate his wedding in style!  

Emilie and I want to teach you stylistas how to steal our style, so shop our photoshoot with the pink links below the pics.

If you ever need someone to help you write a speech, ask Emilie.  She wanted to raise her glass of Diet Coke to congratulate the "husbands to be."  Genius - I wish I would have thought of that myself!

 After the reception, Emilie wanted to take the elevator.  I told her our fashion blog readers would be more impressed if she took the stairs like she does at Larry North Fitness, and she agreed, "you're right."

Em was sick of the paparazzi by the time we got in the taxi
