RSVP

These days, I discover new stores via Tumblr even more than ever. Once you start clicking around for sources, your taste will inevitably align with a person or place you'll want to add to your follow list. RSVP Gallery is a Chi-town boutique and gallery space that is definitely up there on my heavy inspiration tip, both in their inventory of amazing lux and streetwear brands, and the merchandising and styling seen in their promo images. I'll definitely be popping through if I ever make it to Chicago.

my kind of town

I'm in Chicago for work, but of course I had to make a few pit-stops this weekend. First stop was Una Mae's, which also has a location in Los Angeles.



This shop combines new with vintage from their jewelry, clothing and store decor. The carry collections from original penguin, industry, the people have spoken, gentle fawn, momimomi, stop staring, freegums and black black label as well as a small but great selection of vintage clothing.

Check out these display tables made from old dining chairs!





honorable mention...
Lulu's vintage This boutique stocks rare high end fancy vintage. Very Jackie O, old Hollywood glamour! And when the shopping is over, head to Danny's for an old fashioned dance party (and mighty stiff drinks!)
