Anastasia Chatzka (new), 1740 W. Division St., 773.278.4584, anastasiachatzka.com: Local designer Anastasia Chatzka channels her favorite bygone eras in American fashion at her new flagship boutique, where 1960s mantras of individuality and freedom reign supreme. Whimsical dresses, blouses and skirts in classic ’50s styles may channel June Cleaver at first glance, but bright colors, updated shapes and rich, all-natural fibers reinvent the iconic decade with an irreverent splash of sass.

Division St., 773.227.1122, eventstudiochicago.com: Your next party is sure to be a success after picking up chic invitations and unique tablescapes from this new event-consulting and gift boutique.

Armitage Ave., 773.935.1325, poisoncup.com: Exposed brick walls and hardwood floors set the scene at this cozy storefront showcasing both beautiful artworks and tempting wines.
