Jim Newberry Photography Opening

Jim Newberry Photography Opening April 2, 2010, 8pm to 11pm
Join Dovetail Chicago as we welcome the art of local photographer Jim Newberry. Jim's website humbly describes him as a "highly experienced, easy to get along with, widely published photographer with a studio in Chicago (and available for travel)." The not-so-humble description would read: Jim Newberry is an exceptionally talented, versatile photographer whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including Rolling Stone and Spin and his subjects include musicians such as Paul McCartney, Joanna Newsom, and Andrew Bird. When he's not shooting portraits of famous people, he's snapping artistic photos on the streets of Chicago. Please join us April 2 on the opening night of Jim Newberry's month-long show at Dovetail. Drinks and snacks will be served to guests. Guests can also enjoy 15% to 50% off select merchandise that evening. Music by AJ Kluth and Co!

Rabbit’s Moon Window Installation and Jewelry Collection by Aragon LTD
Sarah McLaughlin and Meghan Lorenz are killing it at Dovetail. Just look at that window! In the short week that it has been up, their installation has received so many compliments. We love it! Customers love their jewelry too. Aragon’s first collection and window display are both inspired by avant-garde director Kenneth Anger. Rabbit's Moon goes beyond their taxidermy neon pink-tipped rabbit foot lariats, and mirrored necklaces. Anger's cinematic manifestations of occult practices are captured in crystal necklaces, skull earrings, alter-boy cross necklaces, and rib cage necklaces. The collection has managed to touch the physiological realm, mimicking ink blot tests formations out of upholstery rope and delving into the psychedelic colors of his films, with our tie dye necklaces. If you weren’t able to make it to the party last week, you still have time to check out the window and their line of jewelry through the end of the month.

Christian Dior Overcoat
This is for all the guys out there who have been waiting for the perfect designer overcoat. Why spend $200 or more for a poorly made spring coat from Banana Republic when this Christian Dior overcoat is just $268 at Dovetail.  This coat is expertly constructed of the thinnest wool fabric, to keep you warm during those cool spring and fall days but without the bulk of layers.  The coat is 20 inches from shoulder to shoulder. Come try it on!

Anna Sui Dress

We just listed this amazing dress by Anna Sui on ebay! Size 8.

This lovely knit dress wraps around and snaps in the back. It has two great slouchy pockets in the front. It would look great with a thick leather brown belt cinched at the waist and a pair of brown boots. Or dress it up with a pair of heels.

Feel free to stop by Dovetail and try it on.

Love it? Buy it here.

Dog Lamp, Man's Best Friend

Man’s Best Friend Lamp
You work hard all day. You wake up before the sun is out, cram yourself onto a crowded train, sit in a cube for eight hours, and go home in darkness. You deserve a bright, smiling face to greet you when you come home.  This dog lamp can be that smiling face.  Aside from being inherently, unapologetically awesome, it's a two-in-one: a sculpture and a lamp. Bonus! Look at this loyal German Sheperd just sitting, waiting for you to take him home. Don't let him down. It's cold outside.

Authentic Vivienne Westwood Dress

Vivienne Westwood Dress
	Absolutely gorgeous Vivienne Westwood dress.  This black evening dress is form-fitting and accented with artful gatherings of fabric, creating a cascading wave-like effect. Stunning. Size 4. Buy it here.
