My Style: Lindsay Segal's West Loop Loft
Meet Chicago's most stylish multi-tasker, Lindsay Segal. In addition to lending her talents to visual merchandising and personal-styling projects, Lindsay is also half of the entrepreneurial duo behind Luxury Garage Sale, a way for clients to clean out their (gasp) unwanted couture, while making a little moolah in the process. Naturally, our interest is piqued by the resale end of this project, and we've admittedly perused the racks and scored big ourselves. We took a trip to Lindsay's super-stylish West Loop loft to find out where one of Chicago's most brilliant style stars takes it easy. If you survive a full click-through without some serious apartment inspiration, we'd be, like, shocked. Read on for Lindsay's take on the business of fashion in Chicago, and imagine how you'll replicate her style skills in your own posh pad.

Lindsay wears a Nanette Lepore dress and Forever21 blazer. Her boots are House of Harlow, and her Zebra pal is from Anthropologie.

What are you most excited about at Luxury Garage Sale right now?
"Luxury Garage Sale has a lot of exciting collaborations on the horizon throughout the summer and fall. We are teaming up with great partners hoping to solidify our presence in Chicago as a pop up shopping experience with unique and fabulous gems at great discounts! We also just moved into a great new office space in River North and are planning to host a few private events there. "

Has anyone in your life influenced your personal style?
"My mother is probably my biggest style influencer. I grew up in a very aesthetically quirky and artistic environment. I went to houses growing up that all looked very similar (white, creams, loads of traditional furniture and antiques). My house was the opposite. We had a host of strange collections and bright colored, graphic rugs, artwork and pillows. My parents are big purveyors of Outsider Art and it seems that every few months my mom had a new collection (from Cookie Jars to Chalk Figures to Silhouettes to Whimsy Bottles- there was always some interesting visual stimulation in my house) My mother is an artist and has always had a great eye for color and print, and really encouraged me to view untraditional objects from a different perspective." Lindsay's plate collection comes from ten years of scouring and collecting, both at home and abroad.
