Chicago Tribune:
Quote:Sightings: “American Idol” finalist Haley Reinhart shopped at Sofia Monday. And like most celebrities do when they visit the Gold Coast boutique, she signed one of the walls. …
So what is Sophia? A quick search of YELP turned up
Sophia's House of Pancakes in Chicago. But I'm thinking that's not it.
This might be it though:
Quote:Sofia, an independent boutique nestled in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast brings to you an eclectic, hand-picked collection of clothing, shoes and accessories. Dedicated to showcasing collections from emerging fresh talent as well as the best vintage pieces from established designers, Sofia has quickly become a true gem in Chicago’s fashion market. Named after the impeccable and unforgettable actress, Sophia Loren, Sofia embodies the universal style icon’s qualities – beauty, class and glamour. Sofia encourages their customers to “live lovely” by embracing the beauty of who they are and taking chances in both life and fashion.

btw, their blog indicates they're having a sale on Wednesday, "40% off all Fall Merchandise." Personally, I would have waited. I'm frugal like that.
Quote:Meet the Business Owner: Ashley Z.
Ashley's love and knowledge of mixing and matching one-of-a-kind vintage pieces with new designer lines has made her one of the most sought-after stylists in Chicago and her boutique, Sofia, one of the city's top shopping destinations. Her work has garnered attention and support from some of Hollywood's most fashionable celebrities including Leighton Meester, Nicole Richie, LeAnn Rimes, Maria Menounos and Emmy Rossum among many others. Sofia is a reflection of Ashley's love for intertwining the beauty of the past with today's hottest trends. Each item and line carried at Sofia is hand-picked by Ashley and collectively creates a unique blend of established designers and small, independent brands not available anywhere else in Chicago. Sofia's "Live Lovely" motto symbolizes the qualities all women should embody--happiness, independence and confidence.
Anyone have Spotify? If so, can you check to see if they are playing any of Haley's songs in the boutique:
