Space519

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

Space519 is billed as a ‘refined general store’ – if this is true, it is the chicest general store I have ever seen! Featuring a myriad and ever changing selection of men’s and women’s clothing, accessories, apothecary items, gifts, books, and other goods, this is one of the most unique stores in Chicago. Shop for yourself or for a gift.

 

Independence

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

A finely curated store that wreaks of that utilitairan-chic look. ‘Workwear’ that is not really intended for working on the railroads, but just looking like you did in the 1920’s. Uber-hip. Hipster beards not included.

Penelope’s

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

If you are going for that Lena Dunham or her male suitors look from Girls, this is the place to go. Well priced trend pieces that say, ‘I don’t shop at department stores.’ – with a vintage vibe.

Vince

These go-to pieces for men and women are the perfect staples for your closet. Luscious leather leggings for women and yummy sweaters for men are my faves. These not-so-basic basics will always leave you clamoring for more.

Scoop NYC

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

When you need a little trend in your life, head to Scoop where they feature brands such as Rag and Bone, Helmut Lang, Missoni, Iro, Zac Posen, Alexis Bittar, Habitual, Free City, Poupette and so much more for both the gals and the guys! Shoes, jewelry, hats and scarves – you will never go away empty handed. I especially love the selection of guy’s jewelry.

Haberdash

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

Hipster without being annoyingly so, this men’s store blends the practicality and ruggedness of the Midwest with trendy men’s pieces perfectly. Alden Shoe Co., Barbour, Baldwin Denim, Gitman Bros., Redwing and Wolverine are just some of the brands that line the shelves of this man’s man store. 

Burberry

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

Standing five floors tall with an LED-illuminate black chrome and glass exterior façade in the Burberry check pattern, this Burberry flagship not only houses the brand’s entire collection (children’s too!) but is an architectural marvel. In addition to Prorsum, London, and Brit collections for men and women, the store boasts the first in-store Burberry Beauty consultation counter in North America and a physical space for the online Burberry Bespoke program, which allows shoppers to customize one of the store’s iconic trench coats.

TENOVERSIX

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014

TENOVERSIX strives to present every item as a unique piece of art stocking items for men, women and children as well as jewelry, home goods, and, yes – ‘actual’ art.

Douglas Fir

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014

A small, intimate men’s boutique carefully curated with things that you want and need – a shopping anomaly. Featured brands include Etiquette Stone, Island Mason, Woolrich, Chimala, Raleigh Denim, Nigel Cabourn, Hartford, Happy Socks, and Florsheim Duckie Brown.
