….or was it the wine?
Painfully Hip and Forkable Blog’s collaborative dinner party event, Forkably Hip was absolutely divine. I met some really amazing people and manged on some cripplingly delicious food. Sorry, but you really missed out if you weren’t there. I’m pretty sure i had a mini aneurism when that dessert hit my lips.
Check out the photos.

The fashion was almost as delicious as the food!

Love Carolyn in this oversized ombre cardi as a dress.


Jessica is the tres cool fashion editor at Time Out Chicago. She helped me judge the outfit contest.
This austere white wool mini and peeptoe top-stitched oxfords just kill.

Sarah’s large silhouette print shift in rust and charcoal looks so rich with a cool grey belt and tights. And I really love how Pat audaciously paired a velvet blazer with a hooded t-shirt and athletic shoes. Cute O.D.

Loving Meg’s mustard tights peeking out from under this lovely navy vintage wonder. Ross really pulls off “pretty” in violet and argyle.

I wore my beloved go-to LBD which was sent to me by our event sponsor, LadyLanguage.com with a pair of $20 gladiator heels and my signature tooled leather corset belt from Fox Hunt Vintage. Predictable, perhaps, but give me a break, I packed light.

Here’s our concoctor of culinary euphoria for the evening (after finally getting to take off her apron), Andrea, wearing a sweet black dress, trapeze sweater, red patent belt and peeptoe heels. Pin her up!

Sarah again after bundling up for her 5 block walk home looked even sweeter than before. Love the tapestry bag.
And the winners of the outfit contest!

2nd Place ($50 gift certificate from LadyLanguage.com) – Emma (right)! In a high-waisted leather skirt and oversized tennis racket pendant. Fierce.

1st Place ($100 gift certificate from LadyLanguage,com) – Erin (with Curtis)! Erin rocked this thrifted outfit head to toe, mixing argyle and paisley perfectly whilst toting the ultimate accessory, Curtis, who was flawless in a green paisley button-down, polka dot tie and delicious leather accessories. Could they be any cuter….??

Hmm… perhaps, but then they wouldn’t belong on this blog.
Thank you everyone for coming to this event! We had such a great time. Hope you did too.
