People have never thought of Chicago and fashion in the same sentence, but that's about to change. 7th in Chicago is a shopping benefit, the proceeds of which will be donated to Prescription Well-Being.

CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2006 -- What could be a better treat than leaving the kids at home while you shop the hottest New York fashion talent without all the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple? The event, appropriately deemed “7th in Chicago” will allow Chicagoans to shop the best of New York City just steps off Michigan Avenue—all at a fraction of the retail price. Pamper yourself with discounted Beauty on Call Spa services, including manicures, pedicures, massages and brow shaping, with all proceeds benefiting Prescription Well-Being. Prescription Well-Being is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women living with cancer deal with the changes in their appearance by providing free beauty and spa services.

"I was getting so frustrated reporting on all of this great fashion coming out of New York City. Not to mention the sheer number of amazing sample sales that we just don't get in Chicago, so I thought, let's bring New York here," said Second City Style Editor-in-Chief, Lauren Dimet.

“7th in Chicago” will take place 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2006 at the Wyndham Hotel, 633 N. St. Clair Street, and will include designers like Marie Marie, Bell, Ginny H. and Hayden-Harnett handbags.

You may also support this great cause by bidding on silent auction items including designer clothing from the likes of Diane von Furstenberg and Tracy Reese, accessories and cosmetic/spa products and packages including a Pure Med Spa package valued at $5,000.

The first 200 women in attendance will receive not-to-be-missed luxury goodie bags. In addition, platinum sponsor Pure Med Spa will be offering on-site Botox and Restylane treatments for 1/3 off!
