Striking Up Some Fun in West Town
The owners of the popular New York bowling/music/food venue, Brooklyn Bowl, have confirmed that they’re opening Chicago Bowl in West Town. In 2012, the abandoned 23,000-square-foot auto warehouse at 1850 W Chicago Avenue will be transformed into an upscale bowling alley, music venue, and restaurant.
We’re excited to welcome Chicago Bowl to the neighborhood! In the almost 3 years...

Color Comparisons by Miss Moss
How amazing are these color comparisons by Miss Moss?! She has such a sharp eye not only for color but also for texture and mood—so much that she’s able to take two completely different images and match them together harmoniously.
It reminds me a lot of the thought process utilized when designing a window for Dovetail; taking clothing from different time periods and matching them...

We love this fun geometric purse! It comes with a skinny faux leather strap that snaps off to turn this baby into a sweet boxy clutch.

Incorporating Vintage Clothing Into Your Modern...
As collectors, we all find ourselves accumulating items we don’t use: the shabby-chic tissue box cover, vintage hatboxes, oversized rhinestone ear clips…sound familiar? Though these items were crafted with functions in mind, we still can’t seem to find productive ways to incorporate them into our lives (I don’t buy tissues/don’t transport hats/ouch—those ...

Green with Envy
We’re jealous of the girl who buys these adorable green leather shoes by Miss Verde. They’re a 7.5 and in perfect condition—almost as if they’ve never been worn!

Welcome, Leopold!
We’re so excited to welcome Leopold to West Town! Our new neighbors, located at 1450 W Chicago Ave, just opened their doors yesterday in the beautiful space that once inhabited Relax Lounge. They’re serving up delicious Belgian fare, which means we West Towners don’t need to make the trek up to Hop Leaf for fancy beers and frites. We can’t wait to try the mussels!
