Dovetail Chicago

May 7th, 2008

For the past seven years I lived in the Damen and Division vicinity, which, as of the last few years, has become a shoppers paradise. Within walking distance from my apartment(s) were awesome boutiques like Penelope's, Pump, Gamma Player and Renegade, to name a few.

DOVETAIL CHICAGO

The kitschy-chic boutique has definitely shined a light on the up-and-coming Chicago Avenue corridor. Dovetail's vision is to give Chicago shoppers a fresh take on all things vintage. Products will range from lightly worn vintage garments to homegoods and decorative art. Hopefully, others will follow suit and make this area another spot on Chicago shopper's radar.

Eskell Opening Party - 11.03.07

November 7th, 2007

It couldn't get much better...babes, (free) booze, cute clothes(on sale!) and catering by Mr. Tamales.

Eskell's opening party was so much fun. In case you missed it, here's the scene...

Great fall look: tweed blazer, big cat belt buckle & blue leather boots. The Catholic school girl in me loved the charm necklace accoutered with a St. Christopher medal and Italian horn...brings me back to my south side days.

Cute, that 's it. Just plain cute!

You know it's getting cold outside when you see someone wearing two sweaters, AT ONCE. This fella was channeling a total New England vibe with his cardigan and boat shoes, which I love. His mini ponytail was just icing on the cake.

Um, seriously, don't you love this poncho?!
Belt + Mexican poncho + black tights = fabulosity(that's not a real word but we can pretend). I've said it time and time again, Accessorize. Take note gals!

Do I need to say anything here?


On the Street: East Village

In town for a show, these nice Irish kids were lost en route to the vintage shops on Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park.

I was glad to point them in the right direction.
