Favorite Chicago shopping street: Southport Avenue
Dec 12, 2005
As far as Girlawhirl is concerned, Chicago is totally her kind of town. She loves the laid back vibe, the cool neighborhoods, and the fact that while it’s one of the biggest cities in the country, it’s also one of the easiest to get around. You can always find what you’re looking for and get back to your hotel in time to change and go out for a fabulous dinner. And Southport Ave is one of the best streets for shopping, strolling, and checking out the scene…One of the best parts of shopping on Southport is that men can shop there too! Jake is located at the top of the block with half of the store dedicated to the fellas. Then there’s Shane, and even Kuhlman for more tailored looks. All have a great assortment of clothes and accessories for men and women.
When she’s with the Super Pals, Girlawhirl opts for a leisurely lunch at the Southport Grocery and Café enjoying the scene, if the weather cooperates, from the sidewalk seating. The cupcakes baked here are divine, so save room for one, or take a few to go, along with an incredible oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Then the girls move on to Trousseau for the best of the best in lingerie and Dilani for sleep shoes and bags.
Body Chemistri is always fun, because what girl doesn’t want to create her own perfume? And there are other aromatherapy items there, like a great smelling pillow that can be heated in the microwave for extra soothing benefits.
For the house, Southport Blooms has gorgeous flowers, Splendor keeps it chic, and Fourth World Artisans adds an exotic flare. And Fly Paper keeps it fresh with great stationary, games, magnets and other goodies.
Southport Avenue is one of Girlawhirl’s favorite places to be!
