Have you all seen the new Burberry store in its most recent pre-finished incarnation? Well, we have, and it's shaping up to be one hot ass boutique...if you can call it that. Its size is more akin to that of a specialty store a la Neiman's, Barneys or Saks. The gleaming chrome racks are visible from beneath the scaffolding, and the exterior wrapped in signature Burberry novacheck is lit up like the fourth of July. Inside, the hard hat clad men are working away to bring you, fellow Chicagoans, the store of a lifetime.
Definitely cop the new Burberry watch, the Britain, whose sexy round curves and extraordinary angles make us weak in the knees. It eerily reminds of us the (much!) more expensive Patek Phillipe Aquanaut or Nautilus which we've coveted for so long. Its muted croc band and brushed steel bezel are a perfect addition to our classic wardrobe, but add just a hint of pizazz and funkiness to up the IT factor. Oh, behave...
