STATE STREET
State Street is Chicago's "main street," located in the very heart of the city. For 165 years, it's been the unparalleled retail and entertainment hub of the Midwest. The 1922 hit song "Chicago" gave the street its famous nickname: "That Great Street," where they do things they don't do on Broadway! Historic anchors Marshal Field's (now Macy's) and Carson Pirie Scott have been through the ups and downs of State Street. After a slump in the 1970's, State Street was closed to automobiles and the sidewalks were widened in an effort to revitalize the area. The plan was not successful, but now that State Street is again open to automobile traffic and has a multi-million dollar facelift, the businesses are again thriving. State Street is not only a shopping, dining and entertainment attraction, but also an historical walking tour. Points of interest include the Chicago Theater, Macy's at Randolph and State, the Reliance Building at 32 N. State, the Chicago Building at State and Madison, the Harold Washington Public Library at State and Congress, and more. Dining in the greater State Street area has as much history as its architecture with such favorites as the Walnut Room in Macy's, which was originally the first department store tea room; Berghoff Restaurant, a long-time popular German establishment; Trader Vic's in the Palmer House Hilton; and Billy Goat Tavern, known for its cheeseburgers.

Sir in Brooklyn

 About Sir

Sir designer Joanna Baum describes her pieces as “softly deconstructed classics” full of “old-school touches.” The label is inspired by vintage chic, Parisian sensibilities, and bias-cut elegance. “I like to think that I’m willing to work with clients and give them a level of attention that might be more traditionally associated with a tailor,” says Baum, an award-winning fashion graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) whose clothing appeared in the Mira Nair film The Namesake.

With Kirsten Dunst, Kate Hudson, Keira Knightley, Tracey Ullman, and Michelle Williams already counting themselves among Sir fans, historically, the label’s specialty is its bias-cut silk pieces offering great fits. Baum also hand-washes her silks—both chiffon and charmeuse—to give the pieces a “pretty, roughed-up look.”
Sir’s own boutiques carry Baum’s creations almost exclusively, serving as a tightly curated showcase for her always-evolving collection. “I also like to whip the sewing machine out in the shop, and let people watch if they are around as I stitch things into shape,” explains the designer, whose decade-long career in fashion includes stints at Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Jeans. “Mixing in one-of-a-kind reworked vintage pieces with my collection pieces helps gives the stores freshness.”
All of which begs the final question: Why the name Sir for women’s clothing? “In the same way that ‘sir’ addresses someone in a more formal, classic way, Sir the label dresses women in such a manner,” Baum says. “Plus,” she adds with a smile, “I just like the play on words.”

Shopping Santa Fe, New Mexico

Santa Fe is a mecca for shoppers. Whether you are decorating your home in Southwest decor or are looking for that special piece of Indian jewelry, Santa Fe will have what you are looking for. We provide you with suggestions for a great Santa Fe shopping experience. Some of our selections are internationally known and others are will totally surprise you. Let's get ready to shop 'til we drop in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Native American Jewelry and Art

Ortega's on the Plaza

If you want to go to a place that has hand-selected the best jewelry from the best Native American artisans try Ortega's on the Plaza. Located right on the corner of W. San Francisco and Lincoln, Ortega's is a good place to go if you want to ensure that your purchase is authentic and that you have the choice of the most noteworthy and creative artisans. You'll find amazing jewelry, masks, pottery and rugs. Of course you will pay dearly for all this hand-selection of pieces, but if money is not an issue, I'd recommend heading for Ortega's.

Rainbow Man

Rainbow Man, on 107 E. Palace, has a unique collection of Edward S. Curtis photography. These historic prints are worth a stop. The shop has long been a trusted source for Native American and Hispanic art and gifts.

Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery

If you want to see beautifully displayed high end Pueblo pottery, head for the Fisher Gallery just off the Plaza at 100 San Francisco. Andrea Fisher's has fantastic examples of well-known potter's art and the staff are extremely knowledgeable.

Palace of the Governor's Portal

If Ortega's is a bit too pricy for your taste, head for the vendors under the shady portal at the Palace of the Governors on W. Palace Avenue, also on the Plaza. The vendors are screened, their jewelry and crafts are made by the artisans and the prices are considered average. The 900+ vendors represent forty-one tribes, pueblos, chapters and villages in New Mexico, the Navajo Nation, and parts of Arizona.

Art Galleries

Of course the first thing to know about art in Santa Fe is that Canyon Road and the Plaza area are the most frequented. You'll keep busy enjoying a wide variety of art in both areas of Santa Fe.

Ford Smith Gallery

If you want something bright and creative, head for the Ford Smith Gallery at 135 W Palace Ave # 101. Aside from the massive oils, there are reasonably priced Giclee' prints. The artist and his wife are often on-site and their openings draw an interesting crowd.

Delgado Street Galleries

Just off Canyon Road is Delgado Street, home to some very interesting galleries tucked away in vintage adobes. We discovered Delgado Street during a 4th Friday evening art walk. The art was varied and the music and complementary finger foods kept us there until closing time.

Of particular note is the Galerie Esteban. If you enjoy modern/classic Spanish guitar, Esteban is probably known to you. You can purchase his CDs and DVDs at the gallery and peruse a great selection of local art. If you are enthralled with the little adobe gallery, look out back at the patio and garden. You can actually arrange to have your wedding there!

Great Finds for Bargain Hunters in Santa Fe

Tesuque Flea Market

On weekends head out to the Tesuque Pueblo just north of Santa Fe for the weekend flea market. Now this is no ordinary flea market. You will find top notch jewelry artisans, Mexican folk art, African folk art and much more. Many of the vendors are permanent and have built up a following. If you are a beader, there are some fascinating beads you can purchase in bulk. They will bargain at the market. Refreshments are available. .

Jackalope for Fun!

Out Cerrillos Road look for the big Jackalope store. You can find imports from Mexico like brightly painted Oaxacan animals, inexpensive woven rugs, glassware, pottery for your yard and much more. You won't find the rumored Jackalope, however.

Festivals Shoppers Will Love

Santa Fe Indian Market

Each year the Santa Fe Indian Market includes 1,200 artists from about 100 tribes who show their work in over 600 booths. The event attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors to Santa Fe from all over the world. Buyers, collectors and gallery owners come to Indian Market to take advantage of the opportunity to buy directly from the artists. For many visitors, this is a rare opportunity to meet the artists and learn about contemporary Indian arts and cultures. Quality is the hallmark of the Santa Fe Indian Market. You will find jewelry, pottery, art and furniture. Held annually in August.
Santa Fe Spanish Market

Santa Fe's Spanish Market, held annually in July, celebrates the colorful Hispanic culture of Northern New Mexico. The tradiitonal Spanish Market features handcrafted arts by 250 local Hispanic artists, music and regional foods. The same weekend, you can also visit the contemporary Spanish Market. Its a great place to buy tinwork, religious folk art and carvings.

Shopping In New England

New England is often thought of as a place for enjoying the ocean, the mountains, a lobster dinner and small charming towns with village greens, but shopping has become an integral part of the region's matrix. Consider the outlet shopping in North Conway, NH, Wrentham, MA and Freeport, Maine -- the latter, a formerly sparse rural town that has transformed into a downtown full of outlet stores (including the famous L.L. Bean). Then, there are the classic Mom and Pop country stores that have made New England famous in the retail world like the Vermont Country Store, of Weston, Vt. Charming stores like this have an old-fashioned feel and specialize in everything from Vermont cheddar cheese to snug and warm clothing for us hardy New Englanders. Hidden gems like Brookfield Orchards in tiny Brookfield, MA, are located in the middle of nowhere and offer a treasure of candles, antiques, collectibles, candies, jams, maple products, a book area, crafts, maps, toys, Vermont Cheddar Cheese and hundreds of more items. And here, you can enjoy a famous and delicious apple dumpling during this quaint chopping experience!




By the ocean, you'll find many nautical-theme shops like the Lighthouse Depot in Wells, Maine (you'll find any kind of lighthouse gift here), endless candle and gift shops along the Main Streets of Cape Cod, and a high concentration of hokey, but endearing souvenir shops like Ro's at York Beach, Maine.



Cities like Boston, MA, Portland, Maine and Providence, RI, offer all the cosmopolitan shopping that we have come to know in world-class cities, while suburban shopping malls like the Emerald Square in North Attleboro, MA, bring indoor shopping to the next level with modern, clean surroundings with updated and fully stocked chain stores.



During the Christmas and holiday shopping seasons, be sure to visit brightly lit, festive small towns that provide a wonderful of Christmas designs and quaint, locally-owned stores that should meet all your holiday shopping needs. Kennebunkport, Maine, traditionally presents one of the best downtown holiday scenes to complement its nice shopping selection. Norwood, MA, is a true underdog -- a southwest Boston suburban town with a brightly lit town common during the Christmas season and a great selection of independently-owned stores. Brenner's is a children's clothing shop, the ultimate Mom and Pop shop with a nice, elderly couple offering old school customer service; The Learning Well, teacher and children's learning supplies; Hills for jewelry; Woodstuff for unfinished furniture and hand made all wood furniture; and Roadhouse antiques with a nice array of merchandise from yesteryear. Norwood also has many dining places downtown, including the classic Town Square Diner in its chrome and vinyl lunch and breakfast glory, Perks Coffee Shop for coffee, baked goods and sandwiches, and the Old Colonial Cafe for great steaks, chicken and seafood selections.



Whatever your retail cup of tea, New England's shopping scene is as diverse as its wonderful topography. By every mountain, every beach, every country road and every major city resides a shopping experience that ranges from the familiar to the unique.

Boston Shopping?

A recent survey showed that shopping is one of the top reasons people visit Boston – above sightseeing and museums. One look at the city’s boutiques, malls, department stores, and outlets and you’ll understand why people flock here to stock up on clothes, shoes, jewelry, and books. It all begins on Newbury Street, a renowned, eight-block stretch whose shops cater to every taste, from upper-crust to cutting-edge. The next stop for any avid shopper is Downtown Crossing near Boston Common. This browser’s paradise – pedestrian-friendly, no cars allowed – is home to one of the city’s most famous attractions for stylish bargains: Filene’s Basement. Give your credit card a workout while enjoying a side of history at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, also called Quincy Market. This area is stocked with quaint stores and tourist-friendly souvenir shops, and it has an amazing food court when it’s time to refuel. Blow your budget at the shops on Charles Street at the foot of Beacon Hill, or attempt frugality at the many bookstores of Harvard Square. Wherever you go, you’ll find ample evidence that although Boston is a history buff’s heaven, it’s also a shopaholic’s fantasy.

Shopping For a Real Online Business ?

One of the main reasons I recommend people find their own financial fast track quickly and take getting rich seriously is because in America, and most of the world, there are two sets of rules, one for the rich and one for everyone else. Many laws are written against people stuck in the financial rat race. In the world of business and investing, which is the world I am most familiar with, I find it shocking how little the middle class knows when it comes to where its tax dollars are going. Although tax dollars are going to many worthwhile causes, many of the larger tax break, incentives and payments are going to the rich, while the middle class is paying for them.

Xmas Shopping in... Italy

Where to get the best deals on Armani, Gucci and the other big names in fashion
Italy's fashion houses do not advertise these stores, some refuse to admit their existence, but once you know where they are you need never pay high-street prices again.

Rotating around the mother ship of Milan are discreet towns and suburbs with outlets offering massive discounts on top-brand clothes and accessories.

The fashion houses bypass conventional retailers to sell directly to the public, wiping out mark-ups which can account for half the price. But to avoid a retailer revolt they tend to keep it quiet, so quiet that many fashion insiders are ignorant of the bargains on their doorstep. After agreeing to supply addresses for this article, several leading houses changed their mind. Cats out of bags and all that. They are also concerned that too high a profile might debase brands by exuding a whiff of cheapness. Much of the stock comes from seconds or showroom collections, but not all. Discounts of up to 70% are common.

But it took a Dutch woman, Theodora Van Meurs, to blow the whistle by writing a bargain hunting guide to Italy: Lo Scoprioccasioni (Editoriale Shopping Italia, tel: 0039 02 7063 4605), now in its fourth edition. For £9 you get 2,000 addresses. Most of the outlets are in the triangle between Turin, Milan and Florence.

No-frills flights can make it cheaper to fly from Stansted to Milan than to Edinburgh. Go (0845 60 54321) flies from £88 return.

48 Hours in Chicago ..Xmas Style..Ho Ho Ho

Go Christmas shopping, visit a winter festival and enjoy spectacular views from the tallest building in America,


WHY GO NOW?

The eleventh annual "Chicaglo" season, a three-month festival of seasonal celebrations and family activities, reaches its climax in December. There are candlelit concerts and Christmas markets, and a particular highlight will be the Joffrey Ballet's presentation of The Nutcracker at the Auditorium Theatre , 50 East Congress Parkway (001 312 902 1500) from 5 December (tickets from $15-$90 (£10-£60). For more information and a programme of events, contact the tourist office on 001 877 244 2246; or visit www.877chicago.com/chicaglo.

BEAM DOWN

December is a cheap time to go - search the internet for the best deals (www.deckchair.com is a good site) and you may well be able to find tickets for less than £300, including non-stop flights with British Airways. If you can travel before 15 December, Trailfinders (020-7628 7628) has flights from £229 with Air India. All international flights arrive at O'Hare airport, which is 17 miles north-west of downtown Chicago and vies with Atlanta for the title of busiest airport in the world.

GET YOUR BEARINGS

From O'Hare airport, the "El" (short for elevated railway, as the CTA network is known) takes you anywhere in the city. At the airport station, invest $9 (£6.30) on a two-day unlimited-travel pass, and ask for the CTA map. Alternatively, a taxi will cost about $35 (£20). Once downtown, the main tourist offices are at Chicago Water Works , 163 East Pearson, open daily 7.30am-7pm; and in the Chicago Cultural Center, 77 East Randolph, open Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, and 11am-5pm on Sunday; 001 877 244 2246; www.choosechicago.com.

CHECK IN

If it's spectacular you're after, try the Drake Hotel , 140 East Walton Place (001 312 787 2200; www.thedrakehotel.com), located just by Michigan Avenue, the shoppers' paradise. Expect to pay between $139 (£98) and $469 (£310) for the executive rooms. The Hotel Burnham , 1 West Washington (001 312 782 1111; www.burnhamhotel.com), has rooms from $169-$249 (£112-£166). The Days Inn Lincoln Park North , 644 West Diversey Parkway (001 773 525 7010; www.lpn daysinn.com) is in a great location close to Lincoln Park Zoo . Rates start from $111 (£74) for a double. The rates are for one person, and you pay $10 (£7) for each extra guest; children under 18free.

TAKE A VIEW

The Sears and Hancock Towers provide the best views. Although Sears is incredible (the tallest building in the US), don't overlook the Hancock . It's less touristy, but just as spectacular, with views spanning up to 80 miles. The Hancock Observatory at 875 North Michigan Avenue (001 312 751 3681), is open 9am to 11pm; $9.75 (£6.50). You should try out the Skywalk while you're there: although you're fenced-in, you can still feel what the air is like 1,000ft above the ground. At Sears, 233 South Wacker Drive (001 312 875 9696), you can visit the Skydeck , which is 1,353ft up. Admission is $9.95 (£6.60), and it's open May-September, 10am-10pm; October-April, 10am-8pm.

TAKE A HIKE

Start at the Art Institute (see Cultural Afternoon), then walk north up North Michigan Avenue, which will give you a chance to do some shopping. You can then head down a block or two west, and walk parallel with Michigan Avenue. It's not difficult to find your way back, and this way you'll avoid the crowds and find the smaller cafés. When you come to East Lake Shore Drive, there's a subway to get to Oak Street Beach . It's well worth a visit in the summer, but winter may be a little chilly...

TAKE A RIDE

Take advantage of the city's free "trolleys" which run between the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Metra and Amtrack stops, and drop you off at many popular tourist destinations, including the Navy Pier , the museum campus (incorporating the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and Plantetarium) and Michigan Avenue. They usually run every 20 to 30 minutes, and operate for longer at the weekends (10am-6pm), but it depends greatly on the time of year, so call the free number, 001 877 244 2246, for more information.

LUNCH ON THE RUN

At Water Tower Place , 835 North Michigan Avenue (001 312 440 3165; www.shopwatertower.com) head to Foodlife, the food court. You'll find everything here from burgers and fries in a basket to fruit smoothies and luxury salads. Hectic, but fun.

WINDOW SHOPPING

The "Magnificent Mile", North Michigan Avenue, has far too many shops to list, but you could start at Marshall Field's flagship store, 111 North State Street (001 312 781 1000, open 9am-9pm Monday-Saturday, 11am-6pm Sunday), which boasts 10 floors of spending heaven. Water Tower Place is also worth a visit: it's the biggest mall on North Michigan Avenue with more than 100 shops, and comes complete with a welcoming water sculpture. Check out the giant candy-filled sign in the window of FAO Schweetz.

AN APERITIF

You won't get very far unless you carry ID proving you are 21 or over. However, if you can drink, a wonderfully lively place is Lalo's , 1960 North Clybourn (001 773 880 5256). See if you can fit one of their "medium" margarita glasses comfortably in one hand - a task made all the more tricky when you're applauding the live mariachi music.

DINNER WITH THE LOCALS

If it's food with entertainment you're after, look no further than Ed Debevic's, , 640 North Wells Street (001 312 664 1707). There are good, hefty American burgers and giant salads, but it's the insults you go for. The waiters will shout at you and at each other, and then get up on the counter (it's a Fifties-style diner) and do Rose Royce's "Car Wash". Not for the shy and retiring, great for the children. For something completely different, try the Soundings Restaurant at the John G Shedd Aquarium , 1200 South Lake Shore Drive (001 312 939 2438). You can enjoy pasta, fish and grilled food with a spectacular view of Lake Michigan. A smaller, neighbourhood choice is Big Bowl , 6 East Cedar (001 312 640 8888). You won't be leaving hungry - the Asian food there is delicious.

SUNDAY MORNING: GO TO CHURCH

The oldest public building in Chicago is Old St Patrick's church , 700 West Adams (001 312 648 1021; www.oldstpats.org), which was founded by Irish immigrants on Easter morning 1846. It's one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. There are regular services on a Sunday.

OUT TO BRUNCH

The best place for brunch has to be Toast , 2046 North Damen (001 773 772 5600), open 8am-4pm at the weekends, 7am-3pm during the week. A wonderful little restaurant worth travelling out for, Toast is just out of the way enough not to get too packed, but popular with the local residents. It has a light, airy feel, with a no-smoking policy, and it's very reasonably priced, with free refills on the thoroughly dreamy hot chocolate.

A WALK IN THE PARK

Follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and head to the picture-perfect suburb of Oak Park. The former was born here, and the latter lived in the area and designed 26 of its buildings. Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio can be found at 951 West Chicago Avenue (001 708 848 1976; www.wrightplus.org); the official tour starts every 20 minutes from 11am to 3pm at weekends, and at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on weekdays and costs $9 (£6).

WRITE A POSTCARD

Buy a selection of postcards featuring Oak Park's gingerbread house-fronts and white picket fences from the museum shop at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio . Then wander back towards this peaceful suburb's main thoroughfare, Lake Street, window shopping at Fannie May's Chocolate Shop, before sinking into one of the vinyl booths, pen in hand, in the Cozy Corner Cafe, a Fifties-style diner complete with bouffant-haired waitresses.

CULTURAL AFTERNOON

The Art Institute , 111 South Michigan Avenue (001 312 443 3600; www.artic.edu) could easily take up most of your day with its collection of 300,000 works of art. There's a wide variety of objects from medieval armour to works by Andy Warhol here. It's open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. If you can go on a Tuesday it's free, while on other days you must give something (they recommend $10/£7).

THE ICING ON THE CAKE

The Field Museum , 1400 South Lake Shore Drive (001 312 922 9410; www.fmnh.org), boasts the world's largest and most complete T-rex - Sue - whose head is so heavy it has to be displayed separately from the body. It's open 9am-5pm every day except Christmas Day. On Mondays and Tuesdays, until 23 December, basic admission is free. Otherwise, it's $10 (£7) for an adult, and you might have to pay more on special exhibitions
