Summer must-haves
SWEET SLOUGH: You might scoff at the idea of paying $60 for a jar of exfoliator, but Ren's Moroccan Rose Otto Sugar Body Polish is a big jar of perfection worth every penny. It smells divine and in addition to eliminating dead skin cells, it moisturizes, leaving your skin feeling as soft as a tub of butter. And be sure to use before applying any self-tanner. spacenk.com.

'Public Enemies' South Side hat man
Pay close attention to the hats worn by actors Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and other stars of the new John Dillinger movie, "Public Enemies." The film, being screened for critics in Chicago Thursday, opens July 1. The 75 hats, mostly fedoras, are the result of the painstakingly detailed work of Chicago's Graham Thompson, owner of Optimo Hats (optimohats.com) in the Beverly neighborhood.
