		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year!! I have been meaning to post for the past couple of days, sorry just had a lot going on. A couple of days ago it was 56 degrees in Chicago, which is unheard of in January. But now reality has set in and we had our first snowstorm and along with it freezing temperatures. So all this cold is making me dream of warmer temperatures and I thought this would be a perfect time to share with you my latest collection for Spring Summer 2012. &#8230; <a href="http://www.modahnik.com/2012/01/12/ss2012-collection/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

My friend and wonderful jewelry designer, Kelley of K~FLEYE Designs was my model for the event. The Fashion Challenge was held to support and create &#8230; <a href="http://www.modahnik.com/2011/08/04/heshima-kenya-fashion-challenge-recap/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
