Relocated from Barrington, the connected shops carry clothing and accessories, respectively, and favor pieces worn by celebs (J Brand jeans, Lana jewelry, Rebecca Taylor tops).
Even if you don’t know DIY from DUI, you’ll love the shop’s wares — a colorful mix of clothing, stationery, decor, and gifts created by indie crafters, both locally and nationally lauded.
Ecofriendly design darling Annie Frei’s storefront is a sweet escape: Her gorgeous threads, her friends’ accessories (vintage necklaces, hand-dyed silk scarves), and Danish mod decor.

Step into the sweet vintage shop and drink in the well-edited selection of jewelry and clothes (retro frocks, pencil skirts, silk tie blouses) and the incredible shoe display.

The Cali-based boutique known for its killer sample sales set up permanent shop in Chicago. New merch (Ramosport raincoats, Trina Turk dresses) arrives daily and doesn’t stick around long.
Owner Jana Zacek is one fun gal: She’ll style you and pour you champagne at the same time. Sift through Mulberry’s ever-changing selection of exclusives and get spot-on advice from Zacek.
Formerly known as Nau, the shop still stocks the eco-conscious brand’s entire collection (cargo pants, tanks, wrap skirts, more). Orders can be delivered within the city via bicycle; word to your mother (Earth).
Pop into this sweet boutique and find lines both vintage and new (Iro Carr, American Retro, Quail, In God We Trust). Great shoes, bags, and belts, too.
The salon/boutique swarms with stylists pointing out the latest from Loeffler Randall, Mackage, Missioni, Earnest Sewn, and more. They’ll give you a blowout (or shave, fellas) while they’re at it.
