Guest Post - The Now Stylebook

Hi Girls of Lincoln Park readers!! I’m Elizabeth from The Now Stylebook and I’m thrilled to be here discussing my latest obsession, the wrap skirt. There is a huge 90’s fashion revival going on right now and while hesitant about wearing trends I wore in grade school, I’m actually excited about wrap skirts. Asymmetrical versions popped up on the runways at Proenza Schouler, Balenciaga and fashionistas like Vogue Australia’s Christine Centenara and publicist, Bernadette Fahey have been sporting them.

Are you a fan? Of course we can’t all afford the Proenza and Balenciaga versions so I found a few alternatives that are just as amazing and won’t break the bank!

I am so honored to be on The Girls of Lincoln Park and please stop by The Now anytime to say, “hello”.

The Bar Cart

Holiday entertaining is single-handedly one of our favorite past times. Whether you choose to entertain your family, friends or co-workers, it’s essential that you have a well stocked bar! Living in the city prohibits an actual bar, so naturally we opt for the ultimate bar cart. A few of our must-haves? Witty cocktail napkins, glass stirrers, vintage ice buckets to chill wine or champagne, and cocktail shakers for your friends who like to mix it up. What are your bar cart essentials? Xo - GOLP
