LISA SKOLNIK SERGIO ESTEVES Writer Credentials: Architecture, design, and real estate are soul food to Lisa Skolnik, who has written for dozens of major newspapers, magazines and blogs and authored 15 books. Her work has appeared in Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, Lucky, Dwell, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and more. Behind the story: "As a former school activist, it's great to see that families want to stay in the city and buy great properties near high- performing local neighborhood public schools ["Sure Gains," page 154]." Proudest achievement: "Getting four subversive children through CPS and into college—and getting three out of college (and counting)." Favorite Chicago spot: "Architecture lectures at the Art Institute in the winter, and the Grant Park Music Festival at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion— both incredible Chicago treasures." Stylist Credentials: A native of Brazil, Sergio Esteves has designed for numerous magazines including Harper's Bazaar; Elle; Vogue; and O, The Oprah Magazine. Behind the story: "When I first learned about the concept, I did not think circus-inspired ["It's Showtime," page 84] could be fashionable—but I was really surprised, and I think people [will] be intrigued." Up next: "I'm plan- ning on doing a five city tour in China. I'm a bit of a world traveler." Must-have accessory for spring: "A light- weight trench coat."
