If you're like me, the ultimate pick-me-up is a new pair of shoes. Shoes are a bit of an obsession and I have found my shoe soul mates at Steelo, located in Wicker Park.
Steelo is Spanish slang for style, and the shoes, accessories, hand bags, and jewelry at Steelo will not disappoint. They offer boutique looks that wont break the bank (average price point is around $90). The store features flirty and funky styles from the following shoe designers: Baci, Pink Studio, Poetic License, Miz Mooz (they are one of the few Chicago shops to carry this line), Pajar, Faryl Robin and On Your Feet.
The store is loaded with fabulous accessories and features one of a kind jewelry made exclusively for Steelo by Implique. Theres a lot to choose from: Zola Jones seat belt bags, fun knit hats, scarves and gloves from Wooden Ships and Supertrader belts, earrings and wrist-lets.
For owners Sundae Sirants and Monica Yost, Steelo is about two things: trendy shoes and excellent customer service. Both Monica and Sundae got their start at Nordstrom where they adopted the mentality that all customers deserve a fabulous shopping experience.
According to Sundae, "While Monica chooses feminine flirty styles, I lean more towards the funkier side of fashion. But we are both shoe obsessed shoe-aholics who pride ourselves on finding unique styles that our customers will fall in love with."
The best part is you dont have to feel guilty while you are indulging your shoe obsession. You can pick up some fun and unique shoes for the kids too as you choose from their super cute collection of shoes by Robeez, See Kai Run, Umi, T-shirts and hats from Bla Bla, as well as handmade MaKa baby booties.
So feed your shoe obsession and visit Steelo at 1850 W.
