CHARLOTTE RUSSE; 10 S. STATE ST.; 312-726-4205
Women's clothing store Charlotte Russe splits the difference between Forever 21 and H&M, stocked with affordable, trendy basics with a going-out bent. The store is usually found in malls, but the brand created its first flagship on State Street, with a two-floor, 18,000-square-foot store that runs the gamut from shoes to clothing to pajamas. Stop in for affordable basics like camis ($5) or tees ($10) or last-minute clothes for a night out, like empire tops ($21.99) and cropped jackets ($32.99). Also find handbags (from clutches to totes), shoes (most in the $20 range) and costume jewelry.
