The Style Cooperative @ Sir & Madame

Chicago is the type of place that has a collection of very cool things and people going for it, but the rest of the world hasn't fully caught on... yet.  I would venture to say that Sir & Madame is the most spot-on lifestyle boutique in the city. Owners Brian (Head Sir)  and Autumn (Chief Madame) have been building something exciting, something that feels important, and something that the market needs.

They just get it.

So imagine my delight that The Style Cooperative is now available in their Ukranian Village shop in Chicago where you can find all the necessary brands, inclusive to their private label, and take in all the eye candy that the space has to offer.

You heard it here first: Chicago is getting ready to make it's mark on the style map, so don't blink or you won't even see it coming.

For Your Weekend

I've decided: no costume parties for me this weekend. Nope, not going to do it. Well, ok. Maybe. However, this is the first weekend I've had in a while with no company, no trips, no nonsenses. As I'm buzzing around town and working away on projects, here is this week's Friday rundown.

1. I thrifted a great vintage cabinet last night. I bought paint and will be shopping Anthro's spot-on section of knobs for a brand new entertainment cabinet.

2. Will be baking some delightful fall foods.

3. Today the public opening of my first fast-fashion favorite. I loved it in Spain, I love it stateside. Now I can love it in Chicago.

4. If you catch me out this weekend with my headphones on, chances are, I'll be listening to this on repeat.

5. I'm getting really into anything involving fancy letterpress. Calendars, note cards, you name it. This weekend, I'll be on the lookout for personalized & beautiful sketchbook.

6. Finally, I have time to sew! A few new and comfy dresses that are fall-approved on the way. (No link... they will be a surprise (which reminds me I need to snap pics of the teal dress. Yikes!))
