We know (and love!) our readers. We know you're out and about in Chicago making incredible professional waves, but deep down inside, there's a part of you that totally wants to be a stylist. We caught up with three of Chicago's hottest stylists and talked them into dishing about the one item in their wardrobes that they love the most. Take a look at what the pros love to wear, and steal their style by snagging one of our handpicked finds.

Who she is: April Francis. April is the heart and style behind The Haute Closet, a personal styling and shopping service in Chicago. April's favorite service is her Initial Edit. This is a total closet edit, plus an expert lesson on the best ways to bring your wardrobe up to speed. April likes to refer to this as helping her clients "find their bliss". Learning how to get out of serious style rut? Sounds like happiness to us!

What she loves: April's most prized possession is her Whiting & Davis bag. "It's literally perfect. Perfect size, comely, fantastic year round, and extremely well-made".

Steal her style: April's amazing bag is vintage (naturally), so tracking down a perfect match might be hard. Instead, road test one these and let us know how it goes.
