Last night’s Shop IN Chicago was what many ladies consider the perfect evening: shopping, makeovers, manicures and cocktails, all in one fantastic location. Inside The Drake Hotel, women gathered to peruse 21 local designers and boutiques—including Ms. Catwalk, Chic Gems, TZEN, Claudia Kleiner Malabar Collection, and Eclectica—who set up shop and offered discounted prices specifically for the event. Amidst trying on clothing and accessories, juggling a glass of Pinot Grigio, and swiping credit cards, guests received a complimentary Dior product sampling and a complimentary manicure with Aniko Salon and Spa. Not bad for free admission.
