    2116 Central St, Evanston, IL 60201 (map)

    This boho Evanston boutique is packed to the gills with women's clothing, jewelry and home decor. If you see something you can't live without, snatch it up because the ever-changing stock means it'll probably be gone the next time you go.

    802 N Bishop St, Chicago, IL 60642 (map)

    This West Town shop doesn't just offer a wide selection of reasonably priced wine, beer and liquor. If you need a bottle to go with your BYOB dinner, they'll even deliver it right to your table. Cheers to that!

    Eco-savvy parents can outfit their wee ones in organic cotton onesies and graphic tees at this environmentally friendly baby and children's shop in Lakeview. Feel extra good about your purchase because a portion of proceeds goes to support green causes.
