female-owned small businesses in Chicago & 35+ gifts for under $100
While it’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of big-store sales {and honestly, I will}, I love supporting Small Business Saturday even more than Black Friday or Cyber Monday. When you can actually see the person making that trendy boutique or online shop run behind the scenes, get to know them and their story, it makes shopping at their stores a lot more fun. You are buying gifts from real people who handpicked that gift specifically for someone like you! So, just in time for Small Business Saturday scroll down to meet the ladies behind a few of my favorite females-owned small business in Chicago.

It’s light, refreshing and colorful. I think we’ll call it a summertime berry spritz. And trust me – a couple of these babies will definitely do the trick on a hot afternoon.VIEW POST

Because nothing says summer cocktail quite tequila.
DIY pom-pom clutch
My mom is super crafty, and growing up, we were always doing art projects or diy-ing something. Tie-dye shirts, and multi-colored ribbon scrunches as kids, sip and paint outings as adults – you name it. Luckily, I inherited her crafty nature. Because let’s be honest – nothing beats a rainy-day craft or a trip to Michael’s with no projects in mind but time to kill. VIEW POST
