viewing looks from 60 local models.


With beautifully designed tents, to the model’s special prop, the Gala will be a retrospective of the store’s

Owner Lauren McKeague is thrilled to be celebrating five years at the boutique. “In five years, my store
has grown exponentially. The shop is continually changing into something bigger than I ever set out to
create. I am proud to have included our community every step of the way and we are very excited for
what the next five years bring.”


McKeague was recently awarded the “Emerging Alumni” award at Fashion Columbia, an event hosted by
Columbia College Chicago, Lauren’s Alma Mater. “Over the years we have added all types of dress lines,
from casual collections, to boutique, to ready-to-wear pieces, and now we even design invitations,
decorations, and special events. Our goal is to be a one-stop destination shopping trip for the client who
truly wants a special product and excellent service.” Lauren is also excited to style a more upscale evening
for the Gala. “We wanted to host an event that would really make our client feel special; like a part of our
family. We kept it simple, while still being significant.
