CT212: Just Fabulous!

I'm back again with another Chicago treat! And I do mean a treat! CT 212 is another gem on N. Halsted. CT stands for Calvin Tran, as in Bravo's The Fashion Show Calvin Tran. Mr. Tran does not let us down when you step into the doors of CT212.
What caught my eye first about CT212 was the merchandising, it was AWESOME!!! Believe my pictures don't do it justice. As my sister and I spoke with the associate, we learned that he was the merchant!! His name is Will and he is fabulous! We loved Will, he was very helpful and extremely nice. Here's a picture of him posing in front of some of his work.
The merchandise is incredible, almost everything I picked up and fawned over was a piece from Calvin Trans own collection! And as fabulous as it is in the boutique don't expect to pass out from the prices because their actually pretty reasonable. My sister coped a bracelet for under $20.


If your in Chicago please stop by, CT212 is located at 2130 N. Halsted Chicago, IL 60614. Say hello to Will and let them know Boutique Freak sent you!

Bold PerSPECtive: A-Morir

Being the fashionistas that you guys are have you ever wondered where stars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and even Jersey Shore Reality Star Snooki grabbed these specticles??

Well wonder no more! These amazing glasses are the one of a kind creations of Kerin.Rose, designer of A-Morir eyewear and accessories. I first learned of the woman behind the lenses on an episode of House of Glam (Shout of to the B.Lynn Group!), when notable stylist Crystal Streets went shopping for accessories for a photo shoot (Crystal got Kerin's designer shades on her first celebrity, Mariah Carey). Then one day my friend was like "I wanna know where I can get some of those glasses with the stones and stuff on them", so we went on an internet search rampage because I couldn't spell A-Morir right for the life of me. But you know I found her site! Located at www.a-morir.com you will find out everything you need to know about this amazing designer, whose wearing her accessories, and how you can get them yourself. What makes A-Morir so special? Well as she put it on the episode of House of Glam herself  "..my thing is like putting stuff on stuff that doesn't necessarily belong on stuff..". Hence the birth of some of the more unique and unusual designs like the Barracuda shades (the shades on the left side). I give the A-Morir online store an A, simply because Kerin isn't just selling you some mass manufactered "unspecial" product, these shades are made to order. They range from $150 to around $600, so if your BALLING and need a definate trendsetting look, order something from the A-Morir line. EVERYTHING is eyecatching! These accessories are extremely exclusive and aren't available at too many boutiques, there are only two listed stores listed on website, so my recommendation is to order them straight from the website.
