Samantha Sleeper in Chicago

If you’ve never heard of Samantha Sleeper, I suggest you pay attention (and if you have then you’re going to be really excited about what I have to say). The talented designer (who happens to be a fellow North Shore fashion enthusiast) now resides in New York BUT she’s bringing something very special to Chicago.

The Cool Way To Give Gift Cards

I think we’ve all been in the position where it’s time to give someone a gift and you’re completely stumped. You try and do something creative but don’t want to give them something they’ll hate, and you definitely don’t want to give the oh-so-impersonal gift card. Well, thankfully there are some smart people out there…and those smart people created Giftbar.

First Ever Lollashop Featuring Rad and Refined

For the first time ever Lollapalooza is launching a pop-up shop, appropriately called Lollashop. From July 27 through August 5, you can shop official  festival gear, apparel from Rad and Refined and much more.

As a fan of Rad and Refined (who’s now thankfully expanded to Chicago!) it’s awesome to see them be a part of the first ever Lollashop. I spoke with owner Jacqueline Rezak and she said that guests can expect “ultra rad summer gear from MINKPINK, Wildfox Couture, and Otis + Maclain, plus Rad and Refined t-shirts, tote bags, and more!”
