For most theater-goers, Chicago doesn’t rate among the top cities for world-class performances. New York and London traditionally hold the top spots, but all that’s likely to change. Chi-Town is making a push for the big time, and its theatrical strength will surprise you.

Take a trip to the Second City and judge for yourself the merits of Chicago’s challenge. Start by booking your hotel through Orbitz to land the guaranteed lowest rate. Next, redeem your Orbitz coupons and take an additional 10% off your stay.

Any of these Chicago theater district hotels makes a great choice for a vacation where the drama sticks solely to the stage:

• Ambassador East Hotel Chicago - Luxurious accommodations close to Gold Coast theaters
• Hotel Allegro Chicago - Stylish hotel in the heart of the Loop Theater District
• Hotel Burnham Chicago - Classically-appointed Loop hotel
• Hotel Indigo Chicago - Colorful, spacious rooms in the Gold Coast

Chi-Town boasts more than 200 theater companies, so finding a performance is never tough. But some of the most popular shows in the city can be seen at a few select venues, including:

• Goodman Theatre - Center of the Loop’s Theater District for over 80 years
• Second City Mainstage - Live comedy showcasing tomorrow’s funniest performers
• Steppenwolf - 3 stages for original & groundbreaking dramatic works

This is the time when I usually start to highlight certain products that catch my brown eyes. Here’s how we’re gonna do it - boys on one side and girls on another…just like in square dancing. But don’t worry…you won’t have to wear a straw hat (unless you actually want to).

I Am Woman. Hear Me Roar!

• Teddie - Black boots with stiletto heels never go out of style & always make you look waaay vamp
• Suri Skirt - You’ll love how the skirt has slight pleating & a soft bell silhouette plus a pattern that is school-girl cool
• Glamour Vest - Menswear-inspired fashion has never looked so feminine with its body-hugging cut
• Carrie - Step it up in a pair of shiny patent heels that are right on the trend

It’s a Man’s World

• Rio Shirt - Plain shirts are a snooze. This one is a wake-up call with its subtle all-over print that sets you apart from wannabes
• Richter Peacoat - Now this is acceptable outerwear for the man who enjoys the better things in life
• Leather Wrist Cuff - This cuff is off the hook, giving any outfit some rock-star edge
• Boris - These will have everyone watching every step you take

Get ready for another school year. It might be full of surprises, but it’ll definitely be full of great fashion if you shop at G by Guess.

Summer may be my favorite season, but my favorite time to shop for fashion is actually in the fall. That’s when all the retailers milk my weakness for all things purple. Many times this spells trouble. “Oh, we got trouble. Right here in River City! With a capital T…That rhymes with P. And that stands for pool.” (Don’t sweat it. The Music Man reference ends here.)

But you don’t have to deal with outrageous charges that cost an arm, a leg, or your sleek DKNY leather boots. Just be sure to use these free ShopBop coupons valid until August 28 to save some serious moola:

• $25 off Orders of $150
• $50 off Orders of $300
• $100 off Orders of $500
• $250 off Orders of $1000

Hitting up ShopBop is a lot like doing the Charleston - you’re bound to have lots of fun! I could literally spend hours just looking through everything on their site and setting up my wish list. There are so many fab finds for fall. Come see some of the items that are the season’s must haves!

More Booty than a Pirate Could Get His Hands On

The Italian-made Loeffler Randall Matilde Flat Wedge Leather Boot is going to be a hot-ticket autumnal item. Not only does this tall boot make your legs looks long and lean when you’ve got your skinny jeans tucked in, but they look absolutely fab when paired with a casual skirt or dress.

Nothing’s Foxier than the Lady in Red

All eyes won’t be able to look away. It’s time to crack out the Juicy Couture Skirted Trench Coat in red. Sure, it’s flashy, but it’s never trashy. This classic style flatters the feminine figure, and it looks best with dark vintage jeans and your highest heels.

Power to the People & to the Purple

The beautiful thing about purple is that it can go with practically anything, and it adds a pop of yummy color to top it all off. The Michael Kors Lattington Medium Shoulder Satchel comes in a to-die-for shade of deep purple, and it comes with extra and detachable straps so you can wear this either on your shoulder, or across your body. It’s like getting two purses in one!

…And those are just a taste of what you can expect at ShopBop - your mecca for designer clothes, handbags, and accessories. Take your time to explore the possibilities, and dress your best this September.

Everyone has a soft spot. For some, it may be expensive like designer purses, while others are happy just seeing the sunrise. You can’t exactly package the sunrise (I wish!), and your wallet may not be able to purge enough green for designer anything. So what are you gonna buy your mother-in-law for her birthday? Oh how the dilemma burns deep!

I have just the solution for all you stumped gift givers out there! And best of all, you won’t even need to drive to get it from Hickory Farms. Place your order for delicious gourmet food by September to save 15% on your entire order with free Hickory Farms coupons!

What better way to celebrate a festive occasion than with food? Think about it. Every important event is celebrated with yummies for the tummy. Thanksgiving calls for turkey, Easter calls for chocolate eggs, and Hallowe’en calls for candies!

And there’s no better place to get gourmet goodies from than Hickory Farms. They have premium cheeses, fruits, nuts, steaks, and other delectable food to make your mouth water uncontrollably!

Keep it Classy

The Tasteful Tower includes cheese, tea biscuits, candies, citrus fruit, and candies, so you’ll never have to worry about a lack of variety. This gift covers all the bases for bite after bite of delicious flavor.

Go Organic

Just say no to pesticides and chemicals when you eat organic snacks. The Organic Snacking Sensations gift box contains trail mix, nuts, and dried fruit with a pure taste you’ll enjoy.

Cheese Please!

With so many different types of cheese out there, who doesn’t have a favorite? Give someone special a real treat, and present them with the Sensational Beef and Cheese Sampler - it’s like a buffet where they can pick and choose what makes them go mmm! And it conveniently comes with a reusable wooden cutting board and several magnetic cheese knives.

When you want to make a good impression, you can’t give just any old thing to your mother-in-law. (Trust me, I’ve seen some disastrous results in my time!) A simple and affordable no-fail pleaser is a gift basket from Hickory Farms. So get clicking. You’ll thank me later.

August 25th - It was on this day in history that the first U.S. woman won in the Olympics. Ethelda Bleibtrey was a U.S. swimmer who won 3 gold medals at the Olympics in 1920. Watching the Olympics this year, I was blown away by the strength, endurance and determination of all the athletes. It must be a great feeling to represent your country and push yourself to such high goals. Do you enjoy surpassing limits and goals you’ve set for yourself? If so, then head over to Dicks Sporting Goods for outrageous deals on running shoes, activewear and hardcore sports gear.

1940 - First Parachute Wedding - Uuuuuh, isn’t getting married enough of a risk? Why do you have to do it while you’re in the air too? I guess some people need that risk factor in their life all the time. Not me! I like the ground - it’s hard, steady and unmoving. For those of you who enjoy non-stop action and adventure, maybe a trip filled with exploring is the perfect opportunity for you. Viator has some fantastic adventure tours for less. Plus, you’ll even save on car rentals, hotel stays and more! Just redeem exclusive Viator coupons for 7% off discount adventure tours!

Famous Birthday

Howie Dorough, 34 - He’s one of the singers from the Backstreet Boys…but he’s not one of the really popular ones. The thing with boy bands is that there’s one or two members that always stick out more than the rest. In videos and album covers, they’re usually in plain view and the rest of the members are kinda faded into the background. Sadly, I think Howie is one of the background guys. But hey, on the bright side, he does have amazing skin and hair! So when he does get a rare close up, he always looks very handsome. If you want baby smooth skin like Howie with dark rich hair, head over to ZIRH for men’s beauty products. Save 16% by redeeming ZIRH coupons when you spend $20 or more.

Kiss and Make up Day - What was it this time? Forgot to take out the garbage? Left the bathroom light on? Didn’t take the dog for a walk? We’ve all been there! You can’t stay mad at someone forever. Besides, there’s nothing better than making up with someone you just had a huge fight with, whether that be your boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend or parents. The making up part always brings out big laughs and silly behavior as you remember how insignificant the fight was! So who are you going to kiss and make up with today? Dreading to make that first move with a phone call? I have a better idea (don’t I always).
