Chicago Chocolate Tours teamed up with You Just Shop to host a fabulous event, Sweet Meets Chic. 

We had a wonderful time at some of the best dessert shops and boutiques in Chicago.  The ladies sampled tasty treats from Sarah’s Pastries and champagne truffles from Tseucher’s of Switzerland.  We even had “happy hour” at More Cupcakes!  Their tasty drink inspired cupcakes had us all crazing for more. 

Let’s not forget the shopping!  Luca Luca was our first stop with their beautifully crafted Italian collection.  Then off to Aritzia, where the ladies received expert style advice and last but certainly not least was Chicago-based Akira.  The red carpet was rolled out and the ladies received great swag bags, wine and more sweet treats.

What a great way to start off the weekend or any day of the week!

If you missed the event, don’t be upset, there are more to come! If you were there, you know what an amazing time we had savoring chocolate truffles from Katherine Anne Confections and shopping the Fall collection from Orlando Espinoza.

The ladies had an opportunity to meet 1:1 with Orlando for style advice and try on his stylish collection of dresses.  Everyone had a great time and it was hard to leave empty handed!  I know I didn’t (smile)!

Stay tuned for more exciting excursions and events featuring Chicago designers and studios!
