Katie Schuppler is a style blogger and style expert in Chicago. I really enjoy her informative blog, Fashion Speak. Her personal styling consulting business, KS Style Consulting, has been a go-to business for Chicago women who want to stay stylish and benefit from her fashion expertise. I recently asked her about her favorite items for the upcoming summer. Here are five of her must-haves for fashionable Chicago women.
