There’s so much to do in Chicago during the holidays. Ice skating at Millennium Park, Christmas lights at the Lincoln Park Zoo, and my personal favorite – shopping downtown or at the Christkindlmarket. Although popular spots like Michigan Ave and State Street are quite busy this time of year, I still love walking around and taking in all the gorgeous holiday displays.
However, it’s always more fun to shop with friends. Cliq is a great way to meet up with other people who want to explore the city. Cliq is a new app that allows your group of friends to easily meet awesome new people. I love Cliq because many of my friends leave the city for the holidays, therefore coordinating plans becomes more challenging. Make a plan on Cliq for a day of festive shopping. Take a gander through the Christmas section at Macy’s on State, then stop by Magnolia Bakery for some hot apple cider. Next, head to Henri Bendel at Watertower Place for the best selection of stylish gifts for any price point.
Allie’s Fashion Alley has partnered with Cliq to bring you an awesome giveaway. Here’s how to enter:
- Download the app and look for me on it!
