This Week’s Top Story
Anthropologie (111 E. Chicago Ave., anthropologie.com) is edging farther into the wellness market with a new shop-within-a-shop concept. Open in the Chicago Avenue location since June 25, Wellness by Anthropologie is a 1,000-square-foot space stocking plenty of bath and body products. But it also ventures into more mystical territory with crystals, elixirs, essential oils, and more.
Look for a bottle that promises to infuse water with the healing properties of amazonite stones ($80), a hydrating face spray made with witch hazel and sage ($52), and a love ritual kit ($34).
