So I know normally we do Q&A on Wednesday’s, but with all the events, sales, and boutique visits lately, it’s been tough to fit everything in. Hey, there’s only so much time in a week, and seeing recent event photos of what’s happening in our fun city took precedence over Q&A this week. If you feel differently, drop me a line and let me know your thoughts, or feel free to submit your fashion question to be featured in an upcoming post (as long as it’s not inappropriate or irrelevant)!
Friday night was Gavin Boutique‘s fashion event at Vertigo Lounge in the city. For those of you who haven’t been to Vertigo, I love this place! The space is amazing — it’s within the Dana Hotel and has both indoor and outdoor areas if it’s too cold or raining as it was for part of the time Friday night. The outdoor lounge is gorgeous though, and it’s situated higher up (can’t remember the floor right now…somewhere around 40 I think) so you get these breathtaking city views. Gavin, along with Lipstick Dinosaur, were showcasing fashions and vintage jewelry. Take a look at some of the cute stuff you can find at Gavin…

Gavin carries designers like Elizabeth & James, Pencey, J Brand, Gryphon, Sass&Bide, Rory Beca, Goldsign, Alice+Olivia, LaRok, and more.
Here’s a look-sy at the unique jewelry pieces and accessories from Lipstick Dinosaur:
Lipstick Dinosaur also carries clothing as well as other accessories. Check them out online or at their Etsy shop.
All in all, it was a fun and fashionable evening…how can you not love sipping cocktails and looking at clothes? If you missed this event (or even if you didn’t), stay tuned at Violet Revolution for upcoming events and sales posts every Friday!

Thanks for posting this! The party was a blast at the dana hotel & spa (can we talk about Vertigo?!!). And, can we die over that trench coat from GAVIN? It’s a perfect coat for fall and seems like it has a great fit. I’m going to have to make a trip to Evanston to see the store.
