Lollapalooza.
We are going to turn this, our favorite festival, upside down.
Corresponding for Lucky, we're going to be staking out the best festival looks, talking to your favorite performers and attending all the best parties.
We've featured quite a few of the Lolla artists on our THC in Your Head mixes and we can't wait to get their take on style.
SO: What are you going to wear?
See you there.

'Swap & Shop' June 24th 5 - 7 PM 2108 North Damen
Plan on being at Robin Richman June 24th from 5 - 7 for a reprise of last year's well received 'Swap and Shop.'
Come in with tagged, already priced items you no longer wear, a few precious pieces that don't suit you anymore, and get ready to swap for something you'll love. It's the best kind of recycling you can do.
Sell your items (cash only) - or better yet, swap with the fashionable ladies that will be setting up beside you. Robin requests all bring "gently used designer clothes, shoes [and] jewelry from the Robin Richman store and the like to sell and swap."
A party after our own heart - and at a store we truly love - come in with something to Robin-like share ready to crush a cup of wine with the hostess herself.
RSVP to the store appreciated but not required: 773.278.6150
So Daphne Guinness, the patron saint of The Haute Closet, is being an angel again, having scooped up the entire estate of the late Isabella Blow, the inimitable fashion luminary, daring hat-wearer and discoverer of the dearly departed Alexander McQueen. You can read about the major fashion acquisition here. Major love and thanks to Daphne for saving the treasure.
And! In other news, The Haute Closet is proudly hosting the event at the GUESS Michigan Avenue flagship tomorrow. 500 fashion lovers, cocktails, GUESS and Lucky Mag there to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, a mission possible organization very near and dear to our hearts. An organization that, you never know, is probably helping out a future fashion designer right now. So come out, make a purchase, donate and feel good about some fun summer accessories or swishy dresses - and, of course, GUESS denim - to wear around town, on a hot date, or at our favorite Chicago event: Lollapalooza.
What, you haven't already planned your Lolla wardrobe? You better: We'll be seeking style-setters on the festival grounds, photographing and interviewing those whose style we love for Lucky Mag and Lucky Online.
Come to GUESS tomorrow 7- 9 and get some
style advice from The Haute Closet, a mini-makeover and a photograph of you in your favorite GUESS look. You can rock it. Just wait 'til you see our outfit.

The Totally Haute, Well-Read Affair
Celeb Benefit for Literacy Chicago
When asked what our dream affair would be by YSL's Parisienne, we said "Like that in the song 'Home' by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros."
We lied. It would be this, The Well-Read Affair, because, happily, we live Home every day.
Put on by the young Associate Board (upon which sits The Haute Closet's very dear friend, Sean Kienzle) the party goes down next week, Thursday, February 25th, in a to-die-for location. You should click that link.
And note! Though the back of the invite calls for 'Business Dress' believe us, that is NOT the case. It's going to be one good looking group bidding on sexy bookmarks created by literacy-lovers like Madonna, Scarlett Johansson and James Earl Jones who, we might add, has put up for auction artwork containing one of the best and most useful phrases in the canon >>>
If we were Rachel Zoe, we would say that is OOC. Also, Zac Efron.
Indeed. Don your party best and benefit a most essential cause, the cause closest to our hearts: literacy (that, and having everyone feel comfortable in their clothes!) Literacy helps everyone feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Seriously, kids, it is of utmost importance that every child and adult be able to read. Can you imagine if you couldn't read? For more about Literacy Chicago and The Well-Read Affair click here.
PS: The Well-Read Affair was sponsored in part by Sharpie. We ♥ Sharpies! They work hard to hand-color our THCIYH mix discs!
Make It Yours, Marlaina
