Cityblue Boutique Opens New Location

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.”
