The Best of the Rest

  • John Fisk, the director of styling at Ralph Lauren, will be in Chicago for two days giving one-on-one style sessions at Bloomingdale’s (900 N. Michigan, 312-440-4460, bloomingdales.com). A $50 reservation fee is required and the event is by appointment only, but no worries—the $50 will be transferred to a Bloomingdale’s gift card for use on the day of the event. To book an appointment on either Friday, September 12 or Saturday, September 13, e-mail RL-Stylist@RalphLauren.com.
  • Pulp & Ink (1344 N. Wells, 312-475-1344, pulpandink.com) turns 13 this month! Shop owners want everyone to feel lucky, so they are offering 13% off all purchases for 13 days beginning on September 13. Appointments are suggested, and would certainly be worth it if personalized thank you cards or Vera Wang wedding invitations are in your future.
  • After an exhilarating Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, a number of designers will hold trunk shows throughout the month of September at Chicago’s Neiman Marcus (737 N. Michigan, 312-642-5900, neimanmarcus.com). Among the events are Viktoria Hayman’s personal appearance and a trunk show with the Max Azria-designed Herve Leger fall line.
