MUSE run : the OTHER Art Fair, Lakeview

I headed over to The Other Art Fair in Lakeview, and honestly, this venue still gets me every time. Artifacts Event Space — the old Architectural Artifacts spot — is one of the most unique, beautiful spaces in the city. I’ve shot there a couple times back when it was packed with the most unique, turn-of-the-century pieces, and even emptied out, the place still has that same magic.

The fair itself was such a good time — so many interesting artists from all over the country and the world. The whole energy feels like an exciting hunt; you never know what kind of work you’ll run into or what unexpected piece will pull you in. And honestly, chatting with the artists is more than half the fun — you learn so much just hearing how they think and what sparked their work.

And of course, here’s my FIT CHK & WHAT WAS I THINKING moment — my usual breakdown of what I wore and how my style brain put it together, giving you a lived-in, thoughtful, stylish take on getting dressed.

WHAT WAS I THINKING » sunday & absolutely gorgeous out so Im going cozy comfy. It’s an art event so the fit is very intentional with the white denim, the printed overcoat & my accessory choices. went with the (furry) sandals, two reasons …playful & unique for an art event & also celebrating that fab weather by going with sandals.
