I'm hoping some of you Chicago girls can point me toward the best shopping sites. I'd like to visit some unique shops, as well as stores I don't have in my city, like H&M. Any reccs?
TIA!

Poptart - are you actually physically coming to Chicago and you're wondering where to shop? I'm guessing so, but I got confused when you said shopping sites. Let me know and I'm glad to help!
Here's what I recommend for shopping and I'm sure the other Chicago girls can back me up and add anything I forget.
I would hit the Halsted/Armitage area in Lincoln Park for the cool boutiques, etc. It also has some chain stores like Banana, Ann Taylor, etc, but you'll find an Active Endeavors, Barney's Co-Op, Lori's Shoes (which I love) and several other small boutiques.
Then I would hit Southport - there's a strip of stores, including Krista K (which is great), RedHead Boutique, etc. Those are great boutiques you won't find anywhere else.
Then you can hit Michigan Ave and State Street. State Street has H&M, F21, Urban Outfitters, Marshall Fields, Carson's, etc, etc. Michigan Ave has everything - Watertower mall has your major stores like Express, Gap, Banana, Sephora, VS, etc etc.
