We're not shocking anyone when we say we love designer shopping events. They're the world's biggest no-brainer, with discounts on our fave designers, a free cocktail or two, and an afternoon with our pals perusing the merch. And wouldn't you know it, we just found one that combines all this and more. FashionChicago's spring 2011 sale is happening on April 15, featuring local designers, tax-free shopping, and complimentary beauty treatments. But if you don't act fast, you'll miss it. Tickets to this event have historically sold out, and we can't stand the thought of a sad Refinery29 reader missing out on this kind of action. Score yours now and make sure you send this post to your besties. Friends don't let friends miss tax-free shopping!
Chicago Union Station, 500 West Jackson Boulevard; (1 block West of the Chicago River); 312-461-9400.
