As you all know, we love going local. Aside from just supporting local designers and artisans, there is nothing better than discovering a new local boutique. Throughout our many shopping adventures, we have accumulated quite a variety of favorite shops. These five must-visit boutiques top our list, as they have provided us with more than just happy closets; they inspire us every time we enter the doors. Local treasures like these are one-of-a-kind and offer experiences that you can't find anywhere else. Check them out and be sure to pay them a visit on one of these fine summer days!

RSVP may be the coolest place you could shop in Chicago. The space is so urban and the clothes are of such great quality - not much can compare. RSVP is a collective of the industry's top designers. We are talking Hood By Air, Phillip Lim, Acne, Band of Outsiders, Alexander McQueen - to name a few. It's an amazing place to check out if you're into streetwear pieces.
