    Larkspur (2123 N Damen Ave, 773-489-2898)

    We’re digging the shabby-chic look at this flower shop. The oversize flowers nod to the ’90s—and look at all those vases from which to choose.

    We’d break the window for It’s not a new idea, but we still like the birdcage as decor. We’d place a bouquet of flowers inside that one.

    Marc by Marc Jacobs (1714 N Damen Ave, 773-276-2998)

    Jacobs is known for over-the-top displays, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Actual old-school car? Check. And is that a cow draped in an American flag? Yep.

    We’d break the window for Love the blue buttons on the men’s short-sleeve shirt. We’ll take one in every color.

    Red Eye (1869 N Damen Ave, 773-782-1660)

    Nope this isn’t an optical illusion. It really is raining specs at RedEye.We like the homemade vibe going on in this window.

    We’d break the window for Those sunglasses. One pair, please.

    VividBraille (2064 N Damen Ave, 773-772-8536)

    The vintage sewing machine in the window hints at the design process that takes place inside the store, which the owner refers to as a “studio boutique.”  Translation: You can buy items made on-site.

    We’d break the window for Those boots. We’re running out of time to wear them (hello, summer!), but we’d wait patiently to break them out next fall.
