BEST BOUTIQUE FOR LOCALLY MADE ACCESSORIES

My friend Hallie Borden opened her Andersonville boutique Milk Handmade in 2012, but this year, she shifted much of her focus to local designers. I’m particularly obsessed with her new accessories selection — especially emerging Chicago label Pine & Plastic. Hers is the first boutique to carry the high-quality, handmade totes, which are designed and made just down the street from the store. $95.50 and up, 5137 N. Clark; Milkhand made.com — R.H.
