I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday! Since tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, I thought I’d share a list of my favorite local Chicago shops. I’m probably forgetting some good ones, so please add your favorites in the comments! These boutiques make our communities better and they need our support always, but especially this time of year. I can’t wait to get out and see their holiday collections. I know how hard the shop owners work at curating beautiful, unique items and decorating their shops for the holidays - they really know how to make the season feel special!
If you’re not from Chicago, save this for when you visit! xx
And since today is Black Friday, I’ll link to my favorite deals here! If you’re looking for gift inspo, you can find all of my gift guides here too. My family always picks our Secret Santas on Thanksgiving, so now that I know who I’m shopping for, I’m going to be pouring over these guides and deals this weekend. :)
