One of the most common problems I find among my female clients is transitioning their wardrobe after having kids. These are not just body changes, it’s also life changes, time constraints, and the need to look stylish while chasing a three-year-old. Lynn, as many of you know, fits into this exact category. She has a […]
Ryan Soroka
As one of the hardest working, names in the music biz Ryan Soroka has worked his entire life making a name for himself. Growing up in the same scene, I used to watch a 15-year-old Ryan run around like a maniac at his shows, one of which he was in a Ninja Turtle costume which […]
Joe Waks
A few months back, I noticed a cool old-timey mural coming together on Pacific near Grand.

He […]

JLD Tax and Accounting
A few years ago (pre-chicpeajc), my parents who are entrepreneurs tried to convince me that I should leave my corporate job and open my own business. My response was “Hell no.” The thought of having to manage a business from the ground up sounded daunting and just plain crazy and now, well here I am, in […]
