Checking out Free Music in the Community: Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra Concert at Republic Bank

 One of the best aspects about living and exploring in Chicagoland is discovering that some of the best community events are budget-friendly or even completely free.

    Great question! Unfortunately, after attempting a Fashion Week in 2010, there was not an official Fashion Week for 2011, but Chicago still has some very iconic fashion events with local designers. Here's a few suggestions to check out:

    -Definitely can't wait for Fashion's Night Out 2012: http://fashionsnightout.com/

    -StyleChicago.com hosts Fashion Focus week and runway shows in Millennium Park. See here: http://www.stylechicago.com/Category.asp?ID=20649

    -Watch for local fashion designer Barbara Bates too! http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/television/10253855-421/chicago-designer-barbara-bates-competes-on-nbcs-fashion-star.html

    Hope this helps! :)
