as far as chicago posts go, i think i've saved the best for last. :)
on saturday evening we were walking back to our hotel and suddenly stumbled upon this store. i took simon by the arm and said: "ohhhhh! can we go in here, please?"
and from the moment we walked in, i was in heaven. i proceeded to go completely camera bananas (the lovely shop owner gave me the okay, thank goodness).
simply put, posh chicago is the sweetest little store with gorgeous vintage and flea market finds. if you're from chicago or visiting the windy city, i can't recommend it enough. i was literally in a constant state of oohing and ahhing. it was loverly.
(and in the courtyard behind the store, a wedding was taking place. adorable!)
here are some pictures:
i still can't believe i left empty-handed. (saving money can sometimes be such a drag.)
hurray for posh chicago!
I love these photos!!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend ~~

Looks gorgeous! Glad you had such a lovely time in the Windy City! xo
ReplyDeleteWoa I love trinkets. These pictures are beautiful. I love the tea cups with the blue accents. Matchbooks are my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteI love all those mugs - espesh the brown ones in the metal baskets. Lovely. ck :) x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS STORE!! I commented when you were looking for places to stop at this place it had your name written all over it! :) Glad you enjoyed it and the ladies that work there are super sweet also. Glad you had a good time in the Windy City it is pretty fun place huh?
ReplyDeleteWould it be odd to have vintage photos of strangers displayed as art? Both the sepia girls and the b/w profile are just so glamorous.
ReplyDeleteP.S. If there's something you just can't get off your mind let me know and maybe next time I go I can check and see if its still there. They have a fabo website also....
ReplyDeleteThis place is amazing. I could spend a lot of time and money here.
ReplyDeletei am in love with all of these photos! the cups + matches + light...wonderful.

This is one of my favorite shops in Chicago...I could never afford to shop there when I was single, living in the city, but now when I go back to visit Chicago, I always drop some dough in Posh!!
ReplyDeleteNina, if you were a store, I'm pretty sure you would be this one.
ReplyDeleteI love the mugs - and the vintage match books... oooh ahhh... :)
ReplyDeleteParis stuff! I'm such a nut over anything having to do with Paris...you must have nerves of steel to have not walked out with anything!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute shop- an absolutely perfect fit for you! I'm so glad that you had such a great time in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Nina! I'm glad you had a great time in our Windy City...I've never heard of or been to that store!
ReplyDeleteWow it is gorgeous! I will have to go there next time I am back. =)
ReplyDeleteI have been a fan of Posh Chicago for years, and always thought it was my little secret. I don't live in Chicago, but make a point of stopping in every time I visit. So charming!
