I wish I could always buy in person, but there is little shopping where we live now. When we return to Chicago, I check out the stores on Michigan Ave.--Neiman Marcus, LV, Bottega Veneta, Cole Haan,
Gucci, Chanel, Bloomie's; and on Oak St. I look at Tod's,
Prada, Kate Spade, and Hermes (scarves and ties only).
Online, I've shopped Neiman's, Zappo's, Bottega Veneta's site, and the eBay sellers that I trust.
