Cerulean I 

Looking to perfect your casual weekend look? Stop by Cerulean I at 3657 N. Southport Ave, where pared-down comfy classics abound. Think Jennifer Aniston’s chic style when she’s not on set.

Formerly known as Shane, Cerulean I stocks much of the same casual brands, including tanks by Rebecca Beeson and many long and short sleeved options by Michael Stars. Look for premium denim offerings in the latest fits and styles, including wide leg trousers from Joe’s Jeans. For hip afternoon outings, carry one of Cerulean’s many purse options from Hobo International, all in colors that will seamlessly match your laid back ensemble. Men can step their unfussy urban chic with sweatshirts by Blue Marlin and Jake Agave.  

While Cerulean I has got simple style covered, nothing will top your outfit like a beautiful necklace or earrings by local Chicago designers Myschief and Accessories to the Crime. From head to toe, you can count on Cerulean I to help you be the most fashionable person in sight, even if you’re just watching the game at the local pub!

Nau 

Want made-to-last casual separates that are also good for the environment? Get your fill of earth-friendly fashion at Nau’s newly opened Chicago location. Situated at 2118 N. Halsted St., Nau (meaning Welcome in Polynesian) is a Portland, Oregon based company which features top to bottom fashion made from sustainable sources.   

To qualify as “sustainable,” clothing must be made from materials that can be grown or reused – think soft cotton pullovers and streamlined windbreakers made from recycled plastic bottles. The craftsmanship is evident in the quality fabrics and stitching, so you can forget about anything falling apart in the first washing. Most items are meant to last for at least fifteen years, and with classic shapes and styles, you can count on your purchase to be in style for that long, too!  

Look for earth tones like rust, sea and olive that will make your wardrobe perfect for all seasons. Whether you’re an environmentalist, or just on the lookout for quality-made threads, Nau’s natural apparel offerings will satisfy.  

SHE 

SHE Boutique, an acronym for She Has Everything, is a complete understatement for this new apparel store at 1024 W. Armitage. SHE Boutique is fashion central, covering the gamut from bold print dresses by Alisha Levine all the way to tanks you can literally live in by Enzo Costa. The store’s cool, casual atmosphere with large plasma screens ensures shopping with your significant other will be a painless excursion for both of you. The staff is more than willing to answer questions, and will be happy to share their opinion on how to mix and match each and every uber-trendy piece.  

For chillier weather, SHE has an extensive collection of buttery-soft leather jackets by designers Stella and Jamie and S.W.O.R.D. Try one of the motorcycle jackets, a great style investment and surefire way to toughen up your fall wardrobe. Get comfy in sweats by Bilingual and dressy in a sexy vintage-inspired tunic by Rory Beca. Make SHE your go-to shop to build a wardrobe that will have everyone asking where you shop. Take a cue from the boutique’s name and don’t stop shopping at SHE until YOU have everything!

Stellar 26 

Urban bohemian meets casual beach town chic. That’s exactly what you will think when you walk into the new North Center casual boutique, Stellar 26.   

The casual seaside aesthetic makes this shop stand out, with vintage furniture serving as merchandise fixtures. Look for stylish cotton dresses and comfy waffle knit tees from Free People. What beach chick wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without jeans and shorts from the popular surf style brands, Roxy and Quiksilver. Both men and women can enjoy casual items from Original Penguin and comfy shoes from Reef, perfect for late summer walks by the lake. With most prices under $100, you will be happy to know that your budget won’t wash away with the tide. Close your eyes and you will hear the surf long after summer has faded away.
