Why We Love Chic Gems Etc?
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am attracted to classic, feminine, and color which was my main turn on to the jewelry line Chic Gems Etc. created Chicago designer Sarah Radford. Chic Gems classic styles produced in quartzes, turquoise, jasper, amethyst, pearl, glass, murano,and resin acrylic. The assortment of earrings, bracelets, and multiple length necklaces ranging from Chocker 14in-16in, Princess 18in, Matinee 24in, Opera 32-34in, and Rope 40in+ give any woman simple, fun, and flirtatious flare.
Starting the line in 2006, Chic Gems can be found in a dozen stores through out the Chicago and Cleveland area including the Haute Hideout. If the colors, beautiful stones, and wallet friendly price points ($20- $140) are not reason enough to acquire a piece from Chic Gems, Radford is an active philanthropist and supports many not-for-profits including Make A Wish Foundation, Avon Walk, Kid Power, Leukemia & LymphomaSociety, Imerman Angels often creating one of a kind pieces to support the charities fundraising needs.
Sarah believes,” that anything you can dream can be reality with hard work and alittle bit of luck.”

Social in the City
Fashionistas,
I hope your week is clear for some of Chicago’s best events in shopping, fashion, and networking. Wednesday Venus Zine winter magazine launch party at the Lakeview Broadcasting Company. Thereis sure to be flowing glasses of free liquid, cool characters, and of coarse hautehipsters. Our camera’s will be ready to capture the beginning of Chicago’s snowman season as we are expected to find some of this seasons IT items such as scarves, boots, leggings, and of coarse the search for the hippest hats.
Thursday is a double booking of two fashion shows Lumen 6:30pm to9:00pm Register early http://gogreenholidayevent.eventbrite.com/ This event is a combination of Go Green, networking, and of coarse fashion.
Also on the list for the evening is Havilah Passion for FashionHoliday Charity Event Runway Show at Galleria Unico 7pm to 10pm rsvp at fashionshow@zapwater.com Quick cab rides between the two gigs, I think so.
Thursday through Sunday is the much-anticipated One of a Kind Showat the Merchandise Mart. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the fashion and textile specialty of the show last year. The show however became all worth it when I found a scarf like none other from textile designer Jill Wagoner. Her work is done with silk in a process called marbling. Jill’s work is soamazing I am going to pick up a few pieces for the Haute Hideout, besides that she is close to impossible to find.
If you are in the market for furniture I defiantly suggest the One of a Kind Show. Last year I saw some beautiful hand carved pieces ranging from table to rockers. First word to mind, craftsmanship something defiantly hard to find these days.
The weekend will wrap up with the free DIY Renegade CraftShow December 6-7 at Pulaski Park. Renegade is such a good hit for the holiday season grabbing those items that you can always use such as cards, handmade soaps, silkscreen t-shirts, baked good, and naturally this event supports local artist.
I will look forward to seeing the friends of The Daily Hauteness at these events.
Peace, Love, and Ugg Boots
