Located in Chicago's ever-trendy West Loop, the new building will have 48 units (two-, three- and four-bedroom) with up to 18-foot ceilings, high-end finishes, stainless-steel Fisher appliances and 1,900- to 4,000-square-foot floor plans. Modern architecture influences the design of the common areas and gives "urban chic" a whole new definition. And each unit has its own private elevator entrance... what could be more luxurious than that?

    Father's Day is pretty much here and if you haven't gotten your dad a gift yet, you better get on it quick! Men in general are notoriously hard to shop for, and fathers are the hardest of the bunch to find a great gift to give. In an effort to solve this dilemma for ourselves, we've researched and written about numerous gift ideas and suggestions. Here is one more attempt to help find you that perfect Father's Day gift that is not a tie and that dad will love! If your father already seems to have everything, then get him something useful but completely superfluous! He probably has a couple of drugstore razors in his medicine cabinet. Why not get him a beautiful silver or wood finish shave set? I'm sure he already has a wallet, or maybe a money-clip, but perhaps a new soft Italian leather wallet will look even nicer! Women feel entitled to numerous pampering procedures, but men deserve the prince(ss) treatment from time to time too! Maybe a spa and massage session will help lift the stress off his shoulders... or perhaps he's a fashionable father and a great piece of statement jewelry is all he needs to add a little pep in his step! And what makes these luxe gifts even better is that they're from you, so check out the slideshow for some more great gift ideas to spoil your dad!

    Indie Style: How to Go for the Gold Without Breaking the Bank

    Gold has enjoyed a comeback in the last few years, but with historically high prices, who can afford to follow the trend? YOU can, if you know how to shop for gold that fits your budget. Gold-plated refers to karat gold over base metal, usually brass. According to Federal Trade Commission regulations, the gold layer must be at least 0.50 microns in thickness, compare that to the width of an average human hair at about 100 microns. This is the least expensive option since it contains the least amount of karat gold. Vermeil (pronounced "ver-MAY") is usually not less than 10kt gold but is more often 18kt or 22kt gold plated over sterling silver. Although one might think that the same standards would apply to vermeil as to gold-plate, since both processes involve electrolytically depositing a layer of gold over another metal, vermeil must actually have a gold layer of not less than 2.5 microns in order to be legitimately sold as vermeil and not as gold-plated silver.

    When Opposites Attract: Boho + Luxe Can Be Pure Perfection

    A luxe dress doesn't always have to be accompanied by ladylike matching pumps and a proper handbag. It's sad to think of all the fabulous cocktail dresses sitting lonely in their protective dry-cleaner bags in the back of the closet, waiting anxiously for their next tony affair. Parisians are born with the ability to pull this look together in their sleep - their secret seems to be the abandonment of all rules of "this goes with that." Want to be French for a day? Try pairing a sexy cocktail dress like this one by Les Prairies de Paris with funky boho gladiator sandals. Tie it together with jewelry that has elements of both styles like this snake ring by Iosselliani and a big stack of silver bangles. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for four separates that, when put together, are Parisian perfection!
