If your closet is bursting at the seams, we've found a solution for you. Luxury Garage Sale (the ultimate consignment service for the fashion-consious set) is going to be at Perchance this Thursday accepting your gently loved designer duds. Should they consign items from your closet, you in turn get 20% off to shop for some new goodies at Perchance (located in the newly dubbed Waldorf Astoria Chicago). Pretty much a win-win on all fronts!

Lolla Lineup 2012

The Lolla line-up was officially announced this week and Perry Farrell did not disappoint this year. With an eclectic mix of indie, mainstream and electronic acts, our biggest concern is how they are going to fit in all this amazing music in just one weekend.
Now that the acts are announced, we will be on the lookout for the schedule. Let's just say that if Florence + the Machine and Avicii are playing at the same time, we are going to have a MAJOR dilemma on our hands.
What do you think of this year's line-up? Is it better or worse than years past?

Lagunitas Hits the Chi

This just in: Lagunitas owner Tony Magee took to Twitter last night announcing the opening of a Lagunitas brewhouse in Chicago. Though based in Cali, Magee was born and raised in the Chi – so the new addition is a natural fit for for the crew.
What we can expect: a 250-barrel setup ready to churn out the first mash in late 2013. Location is set at 18th and Rockwell.
As the craft beer scene continues to make a home in the Midwest, we’re excited for the addition of a “Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’” right here in the Chi.

Bottega Veneta Designs Suite for Park Hyatt

While we aren't sure of the room rate quite yet, if it mirrors the prices of Veneta's handbags, we should probably start saving now.

Go See: Cascabel

Oh. And did we mention there’s comedy and dance involved as well?
Chicago chef-extraordinaire Rick Bayless has joined forces with creators of Lookingglass and award-winning author/producer Heidi Stillman to introduce Cascabel, an interactive dining and wining (via pours from an aerialist…of course) experience combined with a theater production that Bayless himself acts in.
From the show:
"In this sensual tale of love and hunger, the audience will join the guests of the boardinghouse Cascabel at their courtyard table. From his meager kitchen, the mysterious new cook conjures an enchanting cuisine, which seems to give those who eat it fantastic and magical abilities. But he is singularly focused on the proprietress of the house, a melancholy woman with no interest in his food, who barely ever leaves her room. Will she ever try a bite? And what will happen if she does?"
We don't know what will happen if she does, but we can't wait to find out. Get your tickets now – Cascabel runs through the end of the month.

Celeb Stylist Occupies Trump
While cuts will run you anywhere from $75-$350, (the higher end being for a cut from Cristiano himself), we'd be willing to try it out considering Gwyneth rarely steers us wrong.
