Recently, PrettyCity hosted an event called “Pretty.Flirty.Local,” in partnership with Independent Retailer Month, featuring the best beauty and wellness brands in Chicago.

Guests sampled appetizers courtesy of Vapiano’s, Skinny Martinis from Flirty Girl Fitness, and sweets & treats provided by Swirlz Cupcakes and Austrian Bakery. Complimentary salon and spa services from Michael Anthony Salon Spa included makeovers, massages, manicures and the like. Plus, shopping galore was available from hand-selected local shops and designers, of course.
