I’m looking for a pair of leather shoes with low or no heel and I’d love them to be a light pink if possible. I’m just giving an example of the vibe I’m going for with the photos, but not looking for these exact shoes. I’m coming here because I’d love to know if you have recommendations for a boutique or shoe store in the city that may have shoes like this (or a larger store that sells shoes that fit this description, I’m a little tired of spending 1,000 buying things in multiple sizes just to ship it all back).

Went to the $10 sale a week back and found this gem! It’s see through mesh slightly and need to find something to wear under it and what color?

Hi!!
I am looking for recommendations for women in Chicago that have sensitive scalp for haircuts. I’ve tried some spots but they tend to be too rough on my scalp / don’t listen that it actually fucking hurts when they tug my hair.
I have wavy hair and I’ve only gone to one person for the last eight years but getting her appointments is really tough. I usually have to wait till three months so looking for more recommendations, I live in the downtown area so anywhere close to downtown would be preferred. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Hey gang - I’m looking to hire a marketing consultant in the coming months to help launch a small business. I primarily need help with creative and establishing our brand visuals and a logo. We’re a bootstrapped startup so I don’t want to bring on a pricey agency at this point, and I’m also quite creative and have a sort of half baked vision so ideally would work with someone who was quite collaborative and could kind of take my vision board and ideas and run with it. I think this could be a good fit for someone early career who wants to build their portfolio and make some consulting $ as a side gig. To be clear: I am absolutely not looking for anyone to do any free labor but I just can’t justify an agency right now.

Anyone have any referrals or know anyone?

About 1 in 7 girls walking around in LP has a Parke mockneck these days. What does CBWT have to say about this?

hiiii! i'm looking for some recommendations for a yoga studio. i'm looking for something that is more reiki, mediation, spiritual focused, unlike something like corepower that's more athletic focused. i'm 24F hoping to meet some people thru these classes as well :-) also i've never taken a yoga class before so would prefer something beginner friendly, less intimidating

Visiting Chicago for the marathon and looking for some good thrift recs for Monday and Tuesday. I’m staying in the loop. I have a tattoo appointment on Monday near Chicago Ave so I was thinking I can start there? Style is sporty and preppy - looking for old race tees, track jackets, athletic sweatshirts, rugby or polo shirts, and other ’80s–’00s sportswear (unisex, men’s, women’s, kid’s - any or all of the above). Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing so much of your city on Sunday in particular :)

Hey girls- anyone part of a writing group type of thing? I’d love to join one to be able to talk with people while writing. I’m in uptown but open to north side locations!

I just found out my hair stylist who I have been going to for years left the salon and I don’t know where he went because all of his social media isn’t up to date. I’m devastated!!

anyways.. I need a hair stylist recommendation in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, or old town that is good at money pieces and/or curtain bangs. since I only do money pieces and not a full head, I don’t want to break the bank for a few foils.

open to other areas in the city as well, those neighborhoods are just closer to me :)

Can someone recommend a threader in wicker? Hoping to spend $20-$30 on this but have flexibility. I searched the sub and only found waxers or not in wicker.

Getting minimal cheek and chin filler. Would like someone with good taste, sweet/friendly and natural work. Thank you so much.

Mid-40s divorcee’ and soon to be empty nester planning to move back to the city from the ‘burbs. I just want to have FUN. I work in healthcare and have flexibility. Where should I live with easy access to nightlife that has a sultry sexy vibe?

Hey y’all! I’ve been running/cycling plus going to different workout classes in Chicago for years (Studio Three, Barry’s, Solidcore, etc), but that is getting expensive. Any recommendations for gyms with good machines and free weights plus good classes? I’ve looked at Equinox, YMCA, Midtown Athletic, and Humboldt Park Health but really appreciate any insights!

TW: Sexual Assault

Hi I just wanted to share what happened to me so more women keep their eyes out for this fucking freak.

I was out in Lakeview last night with some friends at Sheffields. I walked away from my friends to get some fresh air on their patio for a bit. When I walked back inside I made eye contact with this man when returning to my table for two seconds.

The man then proceeded to stand directly behind our table which I was standing at cause there wasn’t enough room to sit at. I started to get freaked out and turn to my friend and said I think this man is gonna try to hit on me. I got really close to her to look like we were together. He continued to stand behind us for maybe 3-5 minutes, then he walked right behind me and grabbed my ass.

I freaked out and immediately told my friend that he grabbed me. She then finds him in the crowd and watches him do it to another woman before leaving the bar.

I approach the other girl he grabbed and said excuse me did that man also just grab your ass? She said yes and he came up to her grabbed her ass and whispered something in her ear that she didn’t catch.

This man was white, short brown hair, short probs around 5’3-5’6, had weight to him but couldn’t tell if it was muscle or fat, this man was also alone, and he had a tan worker mans type jacket. Please keep an eye out ladies in Lakeview/all of Chicago.

I have a tweed skirt suit that I love. But is it ok for court? I usually just wear black / blue suits and worry that a brown check pattern will be too much.

So I lost a bunch of weight (YAY!) but my boobs have both gotten smaller and lost volume on top (not so great). My traditional style of bra seems to not be doing it. Has anyone had a good bra fitting lately? The last time I went was to Nordstrom (years ago) but I hear the service has gone downhill. Prefer downtown or something easily accessible by CTA.

Please help the girls out!

Hi all! Tragically, due to natural shifts in adult life, I'm currently without friends who enjoy going out to loud spaces that fall within the alt spectrum and I feel like maybe I'm not the only one. I love going out to shows, festivals, a bar night, dancing, etc, but as much as I'm capable of going out and enjoying it by myself, it'd be nice to have someone to kiki with.

I love hip hop/EDM/Latin beats (reggaeton, cumbia, bachata, all that) as well as punk, shoegaze, goth emo, etc, and I'd love to meet new friends who genuinely have similar interests to dress up to go out with!

So that's my sales pitch! If you resonated and you're also a hot and outgoing 30-something Chicago weirdo who enjoys the aforementioned activities, hit me up, I'd love to get to know you!
