Hanging out after Battle of the Boutiques

As PoorLittleRichGirls.com approaches it’s first anniversary I can’t seem to get that Tony Toni Tone song out of my head (ha!). I’m not sure why because, unlike the song, much of the last year for the PLRG team has been anything but smooth and romantic.

Though we launched the site on September 10, 2008, that date was six months in the making. The hard work we put in then was nothing compared to the 12 months that followed. For our team, late-night meetings and endless brainstorming sessions took the place of bar hopping and Sunday brunch more often than not. But, I know I speak for the entire team when I say, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This website is our baby. Our fun, sexy, hot-pink baby that we can’t get enough of. We hope you feel the same way about PLRG and we thank you all for continuing to support us.

And, as much fun as we’ve had the past year here at PoorLittleRichGirls, the next year promises to be even better! We’ll be running exclusive giveaways each month, hosting even more events and adding new columns and contributors.

To kick things off, we’re featuring the best of the best in Chicago for our Anniversary Issue. Remember that voting is still going on in some categories, so be sure to vote for your favorite before it’s too late.

Happy anniversary everyone!

For our Anniversary Issue this month we’ll be cluing you in to the best of what the city has to offer. But, we don’t want to just sit here in our ivory towers telling you what you will like best. We think it makes more sense for you to tell us.

Shopping in Chicago can be overwhelming (in a good way). From the department stores on the Mag Mile to trendy boutiques scattered around the neighborhoods, it’s pretty easy to blow your paycheck on the latest fashions. But, PLRG’s are smarter than that, so you tell us which of the following stores will leave you looking your best for less.

Chicago has some of the best restaurants in the country, maybe even the world. The best thing about eating in Chi-Town is that you can start the night off with sushi at Sunda then end up, late night, ordering “chocolate milkshakes” at The Wiener’s Circle. It’s so hard to narrow down the field, but we can always try!

So, for our first round of voting, we’ll be taking a look at what Chicago has to offer in the way of alcoholic beverages. Happy drinking!
