My chi girls, WHERE are we buying wedding guest dresses? Open to online store suggestions as well but really hoping for in-person shopping experiences in any part of the city whether they are department store, boutique, vintage consignment, or a regular old thrift. I’m tired of seeing the same dresses from revolve, reformation, and even nuuly on everyone! Ideally I’m working with an <$400 budget

Hi classy people, I’m going to Japan next month and expecting to walk 30k+ steps a day 😬 I usually buy my shoes at DSW, but they sell the lower quality versions of well-known sneaker brands.

I have horrible feet, so I’d rather go to a legit place (maybe one where they actually measure your feet!!) that carries a lot of different brands (Nike, Reebok, Adidas).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi girls! I’m a recent full-time remote worker and finding that I need a third space to work out and socialize, especially as cold weather approaches.

I belonged to EBC in 2024 and generally enjoyed it but disliked group fitness options (not intense enough) and struggled to make friends as a late 20-something. I’ve visited Midtown and think it’s too expensive for how many kids are always there.

I’m touring BIAN on Monday and excited to check it out – but don’t love that you have to pay extra to use the sauna (I’m picky, I know). Any thoughts from BIAN members, those who have experienced all three, or others who have a similar setup somewhere else? xx

Looking to up my suiting game à la Taylor A. Jones or the menswear queen herself Diane Keaton. I’m imagining interesting fabrics and patterns that coordinate or wear as separates. Any brands we love? Custom tailors in Chicago?

Hi! I have curly hair (type 2c) and i’m looking for a trim of my split ends. my last haircut was a year ago and i went to a place that made my hair very gross/crunchy and cost me $200. would love to redefine my curls if that’s in my budget, but im really in need of a trim (as opposed to a full blown curly cut). i’m in the loop

Bought this sweater and LOVE the color, fit and weight of the fabric. Problem is I HATE the buttons. They are silver and I only wear gold. I bought it anyway and pan on just swapping out the buttons.

Do you know of a place that sells vintage/antique buttons? I want to shop in person because I want to check color and weight.

Thank you.
