Ted Baker Introduces Spring/Summer 2011 Collection to Chicago

Ted Baker unveiled his first Midwest location at 1009 North Rush Street less than 2 months ago. I was very excited for this store to open because whenever I am in LA I always visit the Ted Baker store on Robertson, and I always pick up some new cool pieces that I can’t find anywhere else.

The new Chicago store highlights the best of English design elements while catering to our city’s ever-changing climate…which I can always appreciate when it comes to Chicago retail stores!

The Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear collection is simple with soft draped silhouettes yet playful with intricate, abstract prints. The menswear collection brings a softer and relaxed edge to traditional tailored looks by featuring offbeat color combinations, vibrant prints, and beautiful textures.

Take a look at some of the looks from Ted Baker Spring/Summer 2011…

A Week of Amazing Sales

There are so many great sales happening on Gilt this week, I seriously will be at my computer (or on my Gilt iPhone app) the moment the clock hits 11am (central time of course). You do not want to miss out on these sales! If you’re not yet a member of Gilt, click here to join to get the most exclusive and coveted designer items at a fraction of the retail price.

Gilt has tons of new sales each day, but I picked out my favorite ones for this week that I’m most excited about.

  • Adam (1/4): Women who prefer to make a statement in subdued colors will appreciate these sexy looks from ADAM. Consisting of wardrobe staples that are unique and versatile, you will absolutely love these designs! ADAM holds especially close to my heart, because it’s the first runway show I ever attended at New York Fashion Week 🙂
  • Emilio Pucci (1/5): Take your pick with a variety of vibrant accessories, including Pucci’s trademark printed silk dresses and scarves. Pucci prints are a fun way to incorporate color into your wardrobe…and Pucci prints NEVER go out of style.
  • Marni (1/7): One of those rare labels that can combine contrasting motifs into altogether intriguing styles. Take these angular silhouettes, adorned with globally inspired prints—instead of looking overdesigned, they read perfectly modern and fresh.
  • Buckler (1/4): This one’s for the boys! If you’re looking for menswear that feels hip without trying too hard, Buckler’s shirts, jackets and pants will seem like a breath of fresh air. Truly one of my favorite menswear designs out there.

Would love to know if you end up getting anything from these amazing sales. Feel free to twitpic me on Twitter or email me at chicityfashionblog@yahoo.com
