Actress/singer/dancer and now fashion designer Jennifer Lopez opened the first World of JLo Shop in the United States at Marshall Field's on State Street in Chicago in September of 2005. This launch coincided with a charitable fundraiser for Children's Memorial Hospital.

I just found your blog from the fieldsfans site. COOL!
You have some great souvenirs -- and so do I! It's so cool to see them here!!!
Funny, I was just going through a box today -- MF of course -- and have yet to tally up the team member stuff I've stashed away over the years. When the stores changed owners, I even got some cool visuals from the United Way silent auctions. Plus some promotional stuff that I save (with permission, of course) from the dumpsters. Including furniture and wall art (again, legally obtained). And some REGARDS Rewards cards. Some highliters. Boxes. A few of the last Christmas bags. Vogue striped bags. A 111 State shirt in the Field's stripes. I even have a HUGE roll of the last year's green stripe/snowflake Christmas wrap that was left over. And some MF ornaments. And a couple of FIELD DAYS banners.
And of course my name badge, which I wore with pride.
Hola, Señor Squash! I know a former MF sales associate who rummaged in much the same way as you did, to get all of the MF souvenirs she could. That's how I was able to put so much of it on here. Glad you came to this site! It may be awhile before I post anything new as my computer is going through some transition for awhile. I do hope there is enough on here to keep everyone interested. Thanks for visiting, Señor!
