During this time of year a lot of us try very hard to find the perfect gift for that special someone in our family, a dear friend, significant other or even mentor. The hardest thing is finding something that's not only unique but the gift receiver will love and gush about. There are few places in the city that can offer a shopper the best one of a kind, vintage gifts and Lulu's at The Belle Kay is the perfect place go shopping for that special gift.
Lulu's at the Belle Kay kicks off the 2011 SocialLifeChicago 25 gift ideas of the Holiday's. The vintage boutique located at 3862 N. Lincoln is a treasure chest within the city teeming with lots of one of a kind ware for even the most hard to please gift recipient. The store carries a variety of accessories, vintage dresses, handbags and clutches. Lulu's at the Belle Kay owner Laurie Davis,who recently co-chaired the Service Club Gala, hosted a vintage holiday shopping party at the breathtaking (it's a scenic panoramic view of Chicago's skyline) home of Maria Smithburg. As guests walked into the 60th floor apartment, we were greeted with a glass of champagne and hors d'oeuvers. Walking into the dining area of the house, a spread of jewels and a rack of fur coats and dresses lay ready for guests to admire, try on and eventually purchase. The jewels displayed for sale ranged in price from a bracelet that was a steal at $40 to a necklaces priced over $900- I admired those ones from afar.
Ms. Davis is very passionate and knowledgeable about vintage wares and she has accumulated over the years loyal fans of her store. Some of her well heeled friends came to pick out early Christmas gifts for themselves or a close friend. No matter the reason, each guest could find an item or five to buy. Below are some of the jewelry that can be found in the store and there is definitely something for every shopper's price point.
