Edie Boutique and Marigold

Lake life clothing and decor

Always a reliable go-to for the latest fashions, Edie Boutique, combined with Marigold next door, will have you all prepared for quality time at the lake — or any vacation for that matter. Colorful summer dresses, tops, denim shorts, sandals, tote bags, sunglasses and jewelry just to name a few.

On the Marigold side, it’s all about prepping your lake house or your patio right here in Park Ridge with their colorful dishware, flower arrangements, candles, wine and cocktail glasses, towel sets, tote bags, even BBQ sauces.

27 and 29 S. Prospect Ave.

2 Sisters Boutique A&L

Colorful rompers dresses, tops and pants

Jokingly called “the creamsicle wall” by the staff, this collection of options makes up the perfect summertime outfit. The tops are versatile enough to go with shorts, denim or white jeans for a day of sidewalk browsing and brunch with friends or even a night on the town. Noteworthy: The colors match well with a wide range of different skin tones.

Fair Harbor men’s shorts

In the men’s section at 2 Sisters, you’ll find an assortment of Fair Harbor’s all-day shorts with the company’s new BreezeKnit liner that’s soft, supportive and chafe-free. And to match the current “shorter” trend, most of the inseams are 5-7 inches in length.

Raffia Gifts

Rainraps

Raffia carries this fashionable and practical alternative to the traditional bulky rain jacket. The design of the Rainrap combines the popular styles of the pashmina and wrap, and it’s water-repellent, reversible, lightweight, fast-drying and has two shell buttons and a concealed magnetic closure. Bonus: It’s easy to store in its matching travel pouch.

Packed Party bags

Not only does Raffia have a wide variety of stylish purses and handbags, but don’t forget to check out their wallets and fun, zippered Packed Party bags that are ideal for summer festivals, concerts and trips.

Trucker hats

These fun, comfortable and functional hats are flying off the shelves at Sooo Cute. With their often hilariously creative sayings, they can be the talk of your neighborhood cookout or a bachelorette weekend at the lake.

The southwest chicken salad at @howardstreetinn 

Keeping it light: This is not your normal sports bar menu. Far from it, actually, and it’s easy to fall in love with a new dish each time you stop by. The menu is that robust. Perfect for summer, in our mind, is the southwest chicken salad that has grilled chicken breast topped with fresh pico de gallo, corn and grated cheddar served over a bed of chopped romaine lettuce — all packed in a crispy baked tortilla shell. Throw on a little spicy ranch dressing and pair with a cold draft beer and you’re set. And pretty guilt free. 

And did we mention Howard Street has arguably the best daily drink specials in the area?
