an interior design buff's heaven. doctor's sacs. suitcases, typewriters, stylized light fixtures, aprons, chairs, etc. orgasmic overstimulation for the eyes.

it all started in heaven

1550 Milwaukee Avenue | Heaven Gallery

artist space. music performance. occasional vintage sales. heaven on earth. if you are in chicago july 3rd, as much as it pains me to inform you of my new haven for fashion, you must visit their blowout sale. they've invited tons of vendors, slashed prices, etc. it will be amazing. below are some of my favorite snapshots from my visit with Alma, a chicago-based fashion designer and curator of style.

The space normally functions as a gallery. It was such a delight to see a multi-disciplinary approach to the curation of art and culture.

Jewelry, hats, accessories galore!

A Chanel-inspired floor-length chiffon gown. to die for. It's a vintage reconstruction from the fashion director's fall line. love it.

$22 handcrafted earrings. I will be going back Saturday to pick these babies up.

 Shiaparelli-inspired frock with mink overlay.

Shoes. shoes. and more shoes.

 My favorite purchase. A fox collar for my winter escapades. D.I.E.

Heaven it truly was.
