The owner was very welcoming and helped me put things in dressing room and figure out how to wear it. I tried on a great assortment of dresses, pants, tanks and a shirt. Walked out with 1 long sleeve comfy and stylin shirt that matched my pants perfectly. It was meant to be. As for why "Poppy" it's the owners grandfathers name kept alive which I loved becuase that is what my kids call their grandfather. If you are looking for dressy, style or something with extra personality. It's here!

(Hey, we've got several places that sell nothing but olive oil and vinegar, so my mistake is not so outlandish.) Not so: Homegrown Honey is all about cute ladies' fashions and accessories. The space is a bit confusing, as it's on the second floor; go up the stairs from Main Street where you see the sign and at the top you're faced with...someone's office. But there's another helpful sign pointing you in the right direction to the little shop! The lady working at the time was very gracious, and said that when they get new things they update them on their Facebook and Instagram pages. They've got everything from boho-style blouses and sundresses to print t-shirts and stone bracelets. Worth a trip up a flight of stairs if you are shopping around in downtown Naperville!

Shout out to Nancy in Naperville for a great experience at Evereve. I stopped in cause I saw…read moresomething for my bestie for Christmas in the window. I went in to grab it and true to form, I end up buying items for myself ‍. Great selection of clothing and accessories. I sometimes avoid boutique like stores cause employees can be so pushy. Not that I have a problem with saying no it is just they do not realize it takes me out of my zone, I get annoyed and leave ( take note Evereve not all ur employees " get it"). Nancy was a pleasant exception. Even suggested items ( which I ended up buying) that busted through my comfort zone. Looking forward to going back in the near future!

This the third time I have been here and the third time I have been blatantly ignored by the staff…read more I walk in, no acknowledgement at all. A Caucasian lady walks in right behind me and she is asked if she needs anything and is greeted politely. I walked around the entire store and not once did any sales person acknowledge or ask me if I needed help but they fawned over every other customer there. I was the only non Caucasian customer, btw. And every salesperson there is Caucasian. Like I said, this wouldn't be so obvious if it didn't happen EVERY SINGLE TIME I have walked in. Never again. Mediocre overpriced clothes anyway. I'd rather take my business elsewhere where people aren't so blatantly rude and prejudiced. And not that this matters, but I was dressed properly and had on a designer handbag (in case they were wondering if I had any money to pay for their items )

Love this location! Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores and I buy from them often. I needed…read moreto find a special monogram mug that was on sale during their Homewares sale. The letter I wanted was sold out everywhere, but the girls at this store helped track down where I could find a few and were super sweet about explaining where I could go and who to talk to. They also let me purchase the mug letting the store know that I came in wanting the special price. I really appreciated them vouching on my behalf for this particular circumstance and would/have definitely come back in at this store for anything else! Tip: they also put quite a bit on sale after the holidays. Great time to purchase a dress for $40 if you wanted to ;)

No idea how I haven't reviewed this place...I used to shop at the Oak Brook location before this…read morewas here, and I still stop into this one occasionally since it's closer. I like the same things about this one that I liked at OB: their quirky sideline items make nice gifts, and I like the unusual kitchenware (this location doesn't seem to have all the cookbooks and coffee table books that OB does/did?) Style here has always been sort of raggedy bohemian. Gotta say, though, the clothes are too rich for my blood. Even on the clearance rack were dresses that looked like they came out of the rag bag...for $90. I'll stick with the gifty stuff.

It's been a long time since I've purchased an Eddie Bauer down coat. I've had my Ridgeline parka,…read morean Expedition Parka that can only be used when it's sub zero (not kidding!) and a B9 parka that is a faithful reproduction of a WWII USAAF parka, all for longer than I'd care to remember. When I received an email that there was a 50% off sale, I decided to visit the Naperville store to check out the new winter coats. The store was well organized and a good variety of sizes and styles. We were promptly greeted by associate #956617 (sorry didn't catch her name, but her number was on the receipt) who was very helpful. The Superior Parka caught my eye in a Bronze color. Unfortunately there wasn't one on the floor in that color. Luckily secret agent #956617 scoured the back room and found one in my size and color tucked away. My latest addition to parka collection is in the closet awaiting cold weather to be put to use. It's actually quite amazing how my Eddie Bauer coats have held up over the years, as none look any worse for wear and tear. I find it an incredible value to have jackets literally lasting for decades and a testament to their quality. I'll be donating a few jackets to charity with confidence they will keep the new owners warm and serve them well.

There is a beauty bar to the right and towards the back, the rest of the store is women's clothing and a few accessories.

My guess is that if they do not have it in the store, it can be ordered from the catalog. It is impossible to stock the entire catalog in a store that size.

I am far prior to that stage of life and am here to tell you that this store has much about it to like. For one thing, their habit of cutting tops and jackets in loose, boxy shapes is improving; styles are looking more fitted in recent times, so that quilted jacket doesn't look like it could double as a microwave cozy. I particularly love the Travelers line: skirts, dresses and so on made of a microfiber that doesn't wrinkle, so you can wad it up and throw it in a suitcase and it will forgive you. I've had a skirt from this line for several years that's calf length and printed with bold flowers; it still looks stylish, i get compliments on it all the time, it flows beautifully and no wrinkles! Chico's really has great jewelry: if you like big, bold, unique and interesting pieces, check it out. I was told recently that they got a new buyer and their style is being reflected in the jewelry choices. Along with jewelry I will include accessories: I am not normally a belt person, but I found a FABULOUS metal-accented belt there that I have been wearing with various skirts and jeans; quite literally, every time I have worn it I've gotten at least one compliment on it, generally more, and I love it, so it was definitely a worthwhile purchase. I bought a second belt but it didn't quite work (stiffness made for difficult adjustment, and also it just didn't sit right on the couple of pants that I was going to wear it with), so I had to return it. Easiest and fastest return I ever had to make anywhere, so the staff is to be commended. The staff is to be commended in general for personable and efficient service. Jeanine helped me both on my shopping day and today when I made my return, so kudos to her for good work. The downsides here: price range is on the high side. Also, they have a weird size scale, (0,1,2 & 3, with some half sizes on some items), so it takes a bit of work to determine where you may fall. Overall, unique pieces and friendly service add up to a nice shopping experience. Though I am on the younger end of their clientele, I will check out Chico's particularly for unusual jewelry, accessories and the Travelers line.
