I've stopped in here several times and each time think I need to come back with my daughter. I…read morefinally did that yesterday and think she may have found one of her new favorite stores. The owner, his daughter and the young women who work here were so friendly and helpful in finding clothes that appealed to my 13 year old. I also appreciated that they kept in mind what i would think was appropriate for her since we don't always agree on this. :) I thought the prices were very fair, although she did snag a (super cute) boys lie hoodie that was on the pricier side. Some other brands they carry that she gravitated towards were free people and spill the tea tanks. I even tried on a super stretchy and comfortable pair of jeans (also very well priced), but just wasn't in the mood to buy jeans on a hot August day. I'm enjoying wearing skirts/dresses while the weather allows for it, but may go back in the fall. While the clothes are adorable, the friendly owners and staff are what set this apart from some other boutiques we've shopped in. And that alone will bring us back soon!

On a whim, I decided to head out and check out the new store. I purposely left my debit card at home and went *shopping* with my iPhone camera. I conveniently parked in the onsite parking lot and went in. I immediately noticed that the store feels a bit sparse and airy, but it's probably because everything is nicely organized and well curated. Off to the right you'll find a nice selection of handbags and a somewhat hidden checkout counter. You'll find name brand sunglasses, and a nice selection of workout clothes (don't miss the 70% off rack). Like any outlet store, you can be expected to to spend some time browsing the sale racks. But it's worth it, because I spotted a great blazer I would come back and purchase to wear with jeans. The coat selection is great. Though I don't want to think about coat shopping, this would be a good time to do it before the men's and women's coats are picked over. There is a men's section in the back. On to the shoes. If you're a woman size 8-8.5, I found that size to have the most variety. They have newer shoes, only slightly discounted, mixed with sale shoes. I would come back for a special outfit for a special occasion. As far as everyday shopping, I would have to come back with more time in my schedule...oh...and my debit card!

I've heard great things about A&F from folks recently as they've undergone a glow-up from what it…read morewas when I last shopped there in the early 00s. I didn't want to order anything online when there wasn't a close store to return it to, so I was excited to see this reopen at Old Orchard after the previous store closed ages ago. The sales associates here are friendly and helpful and made my return/exchange process super easy. This isn't the store I remember from back in the day (no hot shirtless guy out front, no overwhelming stench of cologne, and the store is bright enough I can see the clothes). Quality seems pretty decent and at full price things are overpriced, but on sale it's reasonable. I can see why it's gained popularity again in recent years, especially among millennials who grew up with it.

This is a very cute little boutique. I saw it over a year ago when I was exploring Edison Park, but…read morehaven't had a chance to return since we moved to the area until yesterday. Generally it isn't a place that I'd shop because clothing stores don't carry things in my size, but they do have some accessories and stuff. I did find a shirt that they carry up to a 2X, so my Cubbie-loving heart snapped it up; however, I think that single t-shirt is about it for the stuff they sell over an L. I stopped in because I was at the neighborhood street fair and needed some sunglasses, and I found a cute pair of those along with some lotion for my poor neglected hands. They had a lot of cute things from dresses and tops to candles, Chicago-themed merch, and items with which to pamper yourself. And TONS of jeans. I don't know if I've ever seen an independent boutique with as much denim as they have here. It's definitely a place to stop rather than shopping online because the cost of everything I saw here was very reasonable. The staff--possibly the owner, along with another employee--were friendly. It's a small shop but not crowded, and they have an area that I think was set up as a fitting room complete with a couch so your trusted fashionista friend can tell it to you straight. This store doesn't have dedicated parking, but in Edison Park you'll find that's not generally an issue.

I am not one to shop at boutiques because from my past experiences I would see something I like and…read morethe only sizes they had were Small/Medium and I usually wear Large/XL. So imagine my surprise and excitement to find that the sizes at this store range from XS to 3X! The clothes are so cute and affordable. They also have a bunch of accessories to choose from to complete your look. The ladies that work there are so helpful and friendly. Added bonus is that they have a website that I may be looking at more often than I should but I love supporting small businesses and this one is so worth it.

I absolutely love this place. I've bought some of my favorite miniskirts & sweaters here. (They…read morealways snag me with their windows.) The styles are so unique. (They do all their buying in Europe.) it's definitely higher end, though I have also found some really great things on their sale rack. This is retail at its finest due to the personal attention. The owners are so sweet and very honest. (Plus, they have great taste.) They'll style you and happily bring you things if you'd like. I can always count on them - if something doesn't look good they'll let me know. I've also bought things off of their Instagram and they happily drop it off at my home in one of their gorgeous bags. That's awesome. I always leave with great styles & feeling cheerful. I have several friends who feel the same. .

It's a beautiful warm and humid day in Chicago and the walk was good. The place is very quaint and small but well lit for shopping. It's a woman's boutique specializing in European clothing. The major designer is Solar and I have not heard of it, but designs are suited for a dressier woman. Thankfully that counts me in as I work in an office where jeans are not allowed and it's conservative so the weekends I can go casual. Back to the store the sizes are European and the lady at the counter (I am assuming is the owner) was very kind to tell me that 34 is usually x-small, 36 is small and 38 is medium. I'm usually a medium but some of her clothing allow for a 34 when I tried on a pair of white slacks. It had a great fit, but buying white is difficult because the material may be more revealing than you might like. Her clothes has many price points as she indicated and sales from the previous season is 20% off. Her summer selection drove me to walk in full of blight yellows, pink, and orange. Do stop in if you're in the neighborhood and support local small businesses!
