3 Musical Muses – And How You Can Steal Their Style
From earthy indie jams to adrenaline-pumping rock 'n' roll, Chicago is home to musicians of every sort. We’ve tracked down three stylish and mega-talented Chi-town ladies who use their beats, brains, and brilliance to back up their musical muse status. You may not be able to DJ a packed Pump Room house, see your music video on MTV, or croon to a sold-out dance hall crowd, but you can totally steal the style of the lovely ladies who do all three. We pulled together three inspiring looks that show off our muses' greatest hits. Now go on and give 'em a spin.
Alissa Eisland, Scattered Trees

Her Sound: Alissa Eisland brings her gorgeous voice and righteous keyboard skills to the band Scattered Trees, which also includes her husband Nate Eisland and a pack of equally handsome gentlemen. Songs like "Four Days Straight" offer a great opportunity to dance the night away, while "Five Minutes" and "Love and Leave" show their softer side. Chill out after an exhausting day of shopping with their Black Friday show at Lincoln Hall.
Her Look: We caught Alissa the day she was leaving for tour. Her denim-on-denim look layered with comfy knits and a sparkly brogue are a perfect pairing for fall. Add a Navajo print bag, a distinctive pair of sunglasses, and a bright coral lip, to finish this sharp look. Tour bus not included.
Cheap Monday Pyxila Hat, $40, available at Shopbop. Georgie Short in Tweed, $110, available at Aritzia. Selby Cardigan, $160, available at Aritzia. Elizabeth and James Madison Keyhole Glasses, $150, available at Nordstrom. Nars Carthage Pure Matte Lipstick, $25, available at Sephora. Jeffrey Campbell Uniform Oxford, $129, available at Solestruck.
