FINE FASHION OFTEN IS ASSOCIATED with the country club set, but aren't Baltimore's urbanites entitled to the same level of stylish shopping?

Of course they are. That's why there's Urban Chic, the suburban fashionista's edgier city counterpart. Big names such as Catherine Malandrino, Milly, Nanette Lepore, Rebecca Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, Juicy Couture and Theory meet up on Urban Chic's sales floor with newer trends from cool up-and-coming designers.

Store owner Lindsay Buscher opened her first Urban Chic location in Georgetown in 2004, and enjoyed such success, she quickly opened a second outpost in Fulton's darling Maple Lawn community. Now, modern style-seekers can head right over to Fells Point for their True Religion or Rock and Republic jeans, Shoshanna tops and Mint dresses. Not to mention footwear, menswear and kids' clothes in prices ranging from $60-$500. And shoppers will get 15 percent off during the store's grand opening celebration, which ends tomorrow.
