The roaring 20’s were a time of decadence and glamor, and in Chicago it was the era of Prohibition that put the city on the global map. The cabaret fashion of the time was lux, sexy and timeless, that’s why it’s such a popular get up each and every Halloween.

Not to mention that the Chicago Costume is simple and easy to wear, great for long sexy parties. This one consists of a flapper girl pull-over dress with stretch sequin drop waist and chiffon skirt, plus a cute sequin necklace.

You can get it online in red, white or black and is available in a small through extra large.

A fun costume for the ladies!

One of those delights is a Cubs game in Wrigleyville. It really doesn’t matter whether the Cubs win or lose, it’s always fun just to make it out to Wrigley Field. But if you’re planning to leave Chicago for your Summer staycation, and want a memento to tidy you over, this Chicago Wrigleyville t-shirt should do the trick.

Show your Chicago Cubs pride loud and clear with this vintage jersey t-shirt that sports a Chicago Wrigleyville logo across the front chest.

Best part?

The cool thing about this tee is that it’s available locally at Strange Cargo on Clark street or online via their website. If you buy online, shipping is only $5 no matter how many you buy.

This is exciting, as i do love me some Oprah. I wonder if it will be a clothing shop or a food shop, either of these two ideas would be neat. With her clout, fame, and monster cash she could open just about any type of store, anywhere in the world, selling anything she desires.

Of course, it makes sense for her to open where she lives and works (most of the time), it is slated to be located next to her daytime talk show studio. An area i know very well and have seen many times.

I look forward to Oprah’s New Chicago Shop. (whatever type it is)
