Ever wanted to strut your stuff down a runway? And possibly for a free pair of shoes? Well now’s your chance (well actually April 12 is your chance). Saks and Watch312.com are partnering on to benefit Chicago Children’s Charities by throwing a fab fashion event…involving Jimmy Choos!
Here are the deets…
Hope you can make it!
Those of you in the suburbs who are looking for city-style boutiques without having to travel downtown, I have some exciting news for you. Old Town’s Cityblue Apparel & Denim is opening a second location in Lake Forest…today! Along with the grand opening, Cityblue has also launched a redesigned website that will offer merchandise from both of their store locations.
The Lake Forest boutique is a 2,600 sq-ft style mecca offering high-end fashion and luxury labels for both men and women. Located at 662 N. Western Avenue, CB is the sister boutique of Cityblue Apparel & Denim in Chicago.
“After growing up in the area, I knew that Lake Forest residents were looking for cutting edge, yet effortless pieces they could wear every day,” says owner Mallory Ulaszek. Offering designer names typically found only in department stores, CB will feature names such as Marc Jacobs, Helmut Lang and Yigal Azrouel. “It’s ‘boutique meets department store’ – high end labels in a boutique atmosphere – the best of both worlds.”
So be sure to check out the new website at shopcityblue.com and visit a location near you!
Let’s be honest, my life revolves around fashion and food…and there’s nothing I love more than giving people restaurant and shopping recommendations in Chicago. So I was pumped to find out about this new website urbantag where I can share my favorite Chicago dining and shopping destinations in one place. Exciting news–the site launches TODAY!
See where you might find me about town on my urbantag page.
Saks Fifth Avenue and the Junior Council of Children’s Memorial Hospital invite YOU to a night of fashion and philanthropy. Shop the entire store while benefiting a great cause and watch a fashion show with the latest looks from Theory.
So come by Saks at 717 N. Michigan Ave from 6-8pm Thursday, March 29. Guests will even enjoy a free gift with purchase! Click here for further details.
What better way to end my week (and celebrate my recovery from being sick the previous 2 days) than hang out with David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone?! Not only did I get to talk to the talented guys behind one of my favorite labels but I picked up some SWEET R&B pieces along the way (including the coolest printed jeans I’ve ever owned).
The dressing room that my friend Jeff of The Midwestyle nicely set up for me (snacks included!)
My favorite outfit I’ve ever put on (including the coolest pants I’ve ever owned)–MSGM top, Rag & Bone pants (which I obviously bought both) and my own Alexander Wang heels.
With Rag & Bone. In Rag & Bone.
The damage…

I absolutely loved meeting the Marcus & David once again (I interviewed them for Qlix magazine a few years ago) and everyone at Nordstrom and the Rag & Bone team were so amazing (and very well dressed may I add).
