Though design fans may recognize Cynthia Rowley from her appearances on HGTV's The Next Design Star, fashion fanatics know her for clothing, accessory and home collections. Rowley is an Illinois native herself, and the Bucktown outpost of her namesake boutique opened in winter 2007, following a downsizing of her long-standing Armitage Avenue shop. Sunglasses, hats and luxurious leather handbags feature in mirrored cubbies, while Rowley's ladylike designs featuring rich brocades and metallics, hang in curved alcoves on either side of the space. If you're killing time while a friend plays dress up, park it on the opulent, oversized silver ottomon and watch Rowley's runway shows on their flatscreen TV.
