One of the first high-end shops to open in Wicker Park, in 1997, this excellent boutique carries a well-edited range of women’s fashion including lightweight cotton cashmere tops and slinky Mason frocks in vivid red silk. “We like our clothes to be comfortable and wearable but full of individual style,” says store manager Judy Yin. Mixed among well-known brands are up-and-coming designers, including Chicagoan Sarah McGuire, who uses recycled materials to create modern, handmade jewelry.
