Last summer Anna told you about a new Oprah store that was planned for Chicago. The store has now opened, down the street from her studio, and The Chicago Sun-Times has all the details.
Besides all of the stuff you know you'd be able to buy at the store (Oprah books, O magazine, books by Oprah-endorsed people such as Maya Angelou, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Bob Greene), you can also get $300 Gianfranco Ferre brown crocodile ankle boots, velour jogging suits, and polo shirt/leash outfits for your dog. What, no cars or refrigerators?
You can also get items such as Passion Journals, which isn't a journal you use to keep track of soap operas, it has more to do with dreams and self-expression and all of the other Oprah-ish things you hear on her show every afternoon. I wonder if she'll sell James Frey's book? You also get to watch Oprah on TV screens located around the 5500 square foot store.
Oprah is now involved in every aspect in our lives, from books to food to charity and now retail. And don't forget OWN.
