  • H&M also has locations across Europe and in NYC. The new Chicago store is huge with all kinds of fun, stylish clothes at affordable prices. They have everything from punk to retro to preppy styles.

    Especially if you're from a smaller town, Chicago is a great place to shop and see the latest styles.

    I would say you can can great tops and pants in the $20-$40 range.

  • Hollywood Mirror is a thrift shop, essentially, but imagine a store with only the best items - those items that you spend hours rummaging through salvation army for. The store has a great attitude, as well as great decor.

    I love the hooded sweatshirts. Racks and racks of them, for only $12 each.

    $25 will buy you an outfit, complete with shoes.

    I'm not one to walk into a woman's shoe store on my own but if your female compatriot wants to then . . . .

    They definitely did have some fabulous looking shoes and boots!

    Here's a description of the "Pump" store from Chicago Magazine: "Pump is a shoe fanatic’s new home away from home. Flirty, ultra-feminine styles from Carlos Molina and pointy pumps from Steven, by Steve Madden, mix with Glenda Gies handbags made from vintage fabrics."

    Ok so if you have read any of my other shopping tips, you probably noticed that I'm a big H&M fan. I discovered it when I was in Europe, and immediately fell in love. Well, when I came back to the West Coast I was very disappointed to find out that there were only a handful of H&Ms on the East Coast and no mail-order catalog...I mean I would have made special trips to LA just to go to H&M if there were one there.

    Well, there is a brand new H&M in Chicago and when I found out it was there, I almost peed my pants. Seriously, I was so excited that I wouldn't stop talking about it the whole way home. I though Dylan was going to ditch me right there in the middle of Chicago.

    Anyway, I guess the H&M in Chicago opened last September and has been a mad house ever since. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was a zoo in there, but it was the H&M
    I know and love so I didn't care.

    H&M has everything: Womens' Clothing, Mens' Clothing, Children's Clothing, Plus Sizes, and Lingerie. Their clothes are pretty affordable and totally up to date.

    It depends on what you're looking for...you can buy panites and earrings for $5 or jeans for $50

  • Used and new threads and jewelry. There are some good buys on club clothing. The window displays are, at times, nasty as hell.

    Leather jacket, crazy t-shirts, freaky pants, wigs, a new life.

    $10-$100 depends

    T.J. Maxx is a chain of American department stores owned by TJX Companies. It is the largest off-price apparel retailer in the United States offering brand name clothing, footwear, bedding, furniture, jewelry, beauty products, and housewares. All merchandise is at least 20 - 60% below regular department and specialty store prices. The company operated 771 stores at the end of 2004, and has further growth opportunities in the U.S. The average store size of a T.J. Maxx store is 30,000 square feet.

    Looking for women's, mens and children's clothing? Designers but very low prices on selected items? Then visit this place ... You can find something nice if you really give a lot of efford into looking. Try to have a few hours cose it will took some time for you to explore the store.

  • The people in Chicago are very casual dressers. I found on Saturdays they all wear casual clothes. Flip flops, shorts and teeshirts are very common especially during the summer time when all the young people are out of school and hanging out. There are many many shopping malls in Chicago which sell almost everything and have all the high street fashion stores at great prices. A great place for shopping if you have little or loads to spend. Great bargains on camera equipment, ipods etc.

    Anything designer if your fashion conscious. You get some great discounts on designer clothes especially if your trading in your Euros for dollars. The rate l got was pretty good. I also bought memory cards for my digital camera and paid 12 dollers for 128mb memory card. Books are also very cheap but its a problem getting them back home if they weight a lot.

    I really love Anthropologie because they carry brands that you will not find at the department stores.

    Clothing is clustered in minicollections throughout the sprawling space. The store features a sweeping, sculptural post-and-beam structure which creates a series of niches or vignettes along a curved path. The vignettes range from a Tunisian Casbah-inspired collection of exotic wares to a gauzy bedroom tableau.

    Typical items include stretchy Michael Stars tees, beaded Easel cardigans, denim skirts (from Anthropologie's own label), and Cosabella lingerie. I really love the Sleeping on Snow label sweaters. They also have a few cases of unique jewelry.

    In addition to clothing, they have housewares that look like they came from a Parisian flea market. Also, upscale luxury bath products. This is a great place to buy someone a birthday gift.

    Anthropologie is owned by the same company as Urban Outfitters. If you don't want to pay the high prices you can sometimes find similiar items at UO.

    Items here are not cheap (I read that the average customer is a 30-35 year old woman who makes over $150k). Sweaters range from $95 to $195.

    Lori's is located in the heart of Lincoln Park on stylish Armitage Avenue, where you will find Chicago's trendiest and most fashionable array of independent boutiques. Lori's is definately a destination but you will find lots of other shops to spend your money as well. Good place to get away from the crowds of Michigan Avenue.

    This 5000 sq. ft. space is a mecca for designer shoes, handbags and jewelry. Former boyfriends have commented that this is one place that where there is absolutely nothing for them to buy.

    Lori's discounts off designer prices b/w 10 and 20%

  • Kelly and Elizabeth not only design women's clothes under the Eskell name, they run this boutique too, showcasing their own clothes as well as designs by other up-and-coming independent designers. The look of the store is really striking--kind of a mix of western vintage. I especially love the antlers that double as a necklace rack. They also carry a selection of vintage items, such as cowboy boots and Victorian blouses. Check the address before you go, as they might be moving soon.

    $150-400
