GOLD COAST — Reality star Whitney Port of "The Hills" and later "The City" will be in Chicago on Saturday and Sunday for a pop-up shop showcasing her fashion line Whitney Eve.

Thompson Chicago at 21 E. Bellevue Place will host the two-day shopping event in its Froines Room from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

Looks from Port's fall collection, which features fall hues and materials and geometric graphics and cut-outs, will be sold the free event.

Prices range from $68 for leggings with a grid pattern to more than $200 for an open-backed blazer.

After making a name for herself on "The Hills" in the mid-2000s, Port was the star of the spinoff reality show "The City," which documented her efforts to break into the fashion industry with stints at Diane Von Furstenburg and Kelly Cutrone's PR firm People's Revolution.

Port will be on hand both days to greet fans at the event. Space is limited, so interested shoppers must RSVP in advance by emailing info@whitneyeve.com to snag a spot.
