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.

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.

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.

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.
