Summer Shopping Series: Wicker Park/Bucktown

Wicker Park/Bucktown are two Chicago neighborhoods full of fashion, art, and culture. With plenty of unique boutiques, eateries, and galleries, here are a few shopping destinations you need to visit:

 

Akira :: With three shops in Bucktown, Akira lets you shop for you, your boy, and your feet within just a couple of blocks. You can find clothing and accessories for any occasion, and if you’re lucky, you might stop in while a nice little party is going on. (Free beer, appetizers, and coupons while you shop? Say it isn’t so!) (1817 W. North Avenue; 1910 W North Avenue; 1849 W. North Avenue; all Chicago, IL 60622)

 

Clever Alice :: This shop is a tiny one, but it is full of personality. Clever Alice serves as a one-stop shop for all of your needs, tops, bottoms, and dresses alike. This boutique is home to occasional events like Shopping Nights and Art Openings, and you can even make an appointment for a Closet Sweep. (1920 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647)

 

d. marie handbags :: If purses are your thing, then d. marie is your place. Featuring designers from all over the world, it’s pretty much guaranteed no one else will have your bag. (1867 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647)

 

Roslyn :: With fashion shows and events at Chicago bars and clubs like Angels & Kings, Underground, and Lumen, it’s only expected for Roslyn to be hip and one-of-a-kind. Featuring designers like Elizabeth & James, Nicholas K, and Alice + Olivia, this trendy shop carries everything you need to be a fashionista. (2035 North Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647)

 

le dress :: While a second location just opened downtown, the original is still a must-see! Shop for dresses and matching accessories for the hot party on Saturday or for your little cousin’s graduation. Once you fall in love with le dress, don’t forget to book a “le Dress Me Chic” party. At $100 a person, you’ll get a free dress, a free limo ride, and free champagne for the ride. (1741 West Division Street, Chicago, IL 60622)
