Me: Oh mah gawd! Look at these shoes! C: What size are they? Me: *flips them over* Size... $160 *puts them back* I would need to work a second job to afford most of the items in this store. It's deceptive, too. I always say I know I can't afford a store if I can count the number of dresses, shoes, shirts, pants, and purses without having to focus. This shop was pretty packed, so I figured I was safe. That was until I actually started flipping over price tags on things I'd like to buy, like a basic summer dress that cost $180! I hit up the clearance rack and was delighted to find that I could get a shirt with a smudge on it for the low, low price of $80 *eye roll*. My friend tried on a skirt and a dress. She couldn't decide which to get. She said she could fit the dress now or the skirt in a couple of pounds. I suggested she go with the dress because it was the most flattering. I made the mistake of asking her about the prices and went from, "Yeah, that dress is pretty cute. I'd go with that." to "No! You put that back immediately!" when she said it was $160. It was Madewell, but it wasn't THAT well made.

I usually come from Chicago to the burbs to knockout shopping in one area. This strip mall that…read moreUncharted is located in meets this need. I happily stumbled upon Uncharted as I ventured the strip. At first I was rather overwhelmed and had sensory overload from al the cuteness, but quickly became familiar with the store after doing an initial walk thru. They have a nice selection of clothes and carefully curated items. I appreciate the variety and can see my wallet hurting if I brought my teen and tweenage girls. Last but not least, they had the Swedish gummy pop up selling at a great price. You bet I took advantage of that! I will definitely come back with my girls and maybe a mom's only shopping trip.

It's always a promising sign when customers are waiting outside the door for the store to open…read more Unless they have pitchforks and torches of course. No, it was a couple of moms and their tweenish daughters, and for a moment I thought, this store isn't for me. They pulled on the locked door a few times, and when it finally opened, I made my way into the store, along with a few other people. It was a store for me, and them, and you and your friends. Uncharted is a very nice gift store, and larger inside than you expect. There were candles, housewares, cards, clothes, toys, jewelry, candy, men's gifts, and more. It's an updated and more trendy Hallmark store. The staff were very nice, and asked me to join their rewards club. I declined, as this location is a little far for me. I did purchase a cute scratch-off artpad for a gift and some pretty notecards.

I booked a personal styling appointment through Aritzia and Ruba was incredibly helpful picking out…read moreitems for me! I had my own dressing room with a mirror and was offered water as well. Only 4 stars for a few disconnects, but this seemed to be because they were so busy... They left a sensor on one of my items, we pushed back the start time and then needed to start 10m after that (which was fine, I had blocked out the day anyways.) Also I had specified that I was not looking to purchase synthetics, but did have a number of polyester items when I arrived. I think I also would've loved a little more feedback on how pieces looked or what to pair together. Other than that, it was an incredibly seamless appointment. I'm can be a bit picky, but Ruba adapted really fast! Thank you!

I had a phenomenal experience at Aritzia last night!…read more I had come in shortly before closing and I understand how annoying it can be to have one of those last minute people come in but I was treated with nothing but the utmost respect and kindness. As expected, ( you can never go into an Aritzia not falling in love with everything you see lol ) looking around I found so many pieces I just fell in love with. I had grabbed several things and immediately a worker there came to take them for me, grab my name, and set them aside for a fitting room! It was so thoughtful and it just elevated the experience of shopping without having to carry a bunch of clothes around. Once I was done browsing I headed to the fitting room area where my things I had picked up were set aside for me. I then had a pants apart of a set I was in love with but was a size too big not work out too well for me. :(( Yet the kindest girl there looked immediately if they had a 00 to pair with my top on hand which they did and they ended up working perfectly! This is one of the few stores that has sizes in tops and pants that fit my waist measurements perfectly!! :)) Once I was done trying on everything the same girl who had set aside my things took everything that didn't work out for me and didn't let me carry a thing! They truly value their customers and go above and beyond for customer service, satisfaction, and experience. The atmosphere is very clean and orderly. Everything was racked neatly and in place. There wasn't a sign of anything un-orderly or messy. Oh my gosh and the fitting rooms( in pictures provided) are just to die for. I ended up leaving with the most beautiful set, yet it wasn't just the clothes that had me leaving happy it was also how respectful and kind I was treated. How helpful all the staff were there and how welcomed I felt. All I can say is if the manager of this location is reading this review, all the girls working the night of 5/24/25 go above and beyond for their customers and in keeping their store looking put together and beautiful and deserve a huge thanks for up keeping a respectful, friendly, and welcoming face for this Aritzia location. I will most definitely be returning and bringing friends and family.

Rowan is setting the bar for ear piercings. The store is clean and inviting. The staff is…read moreprofessional and savvy. Located near Nordstrom in Oakbrook Mall, Rowan is an ear piercing studio with all piercings performed by nurses. They do all types of piercings with options of needle or piercing gun. I was getting a double pierce and opted for the gun. It was quick, painless and easy. I was given instructions for after care and bought the Rowan solution for cleaning and healing. Walk ins are accepted but appointments are prioritized.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Rowan for this particular piercing…read more I had my upper cartilage professionally pierced at Rowan last November, and almost 10 months later, it still has not healed. The piercing is also noticeably crooked/angled, and the jewelry sits down inside the fold of my ear, making it look awkward and difficult to see. What makes this especially frustrating is that I have been extremely careful with it. I've consistently followed aftercare instructions and have used a piercing pillow since the day I got it pierced specifically to prevent pressure while sleeping. I also have other cartilage piercings that I did myself that have healed much better and are much straighter. At this point, I don't believe this is simply a case of cartilage "taking a long time to heal." The placement itself appears to be the issue. After nearly 10 months, I'm now having to consider having another professional piercer evaluate it and potentially letting it close so it can be repierced correctly. I'm honestly disappointed because I paid a professional specifically because I expected the placement to be done correctly. I would have much rather been told that my anatomy wasn't suitable for the placement I wanted than end up with a piercing that I'm unhappy with and may ultimately have to remove. I'm not leaving this review because I expect every piercing to heal perfectly--I understand that complications happen. I'm leaving it because the placement has been an ongoing problem, despite me doing everything I could to care for it.

Before finding Joe, I could count on two hands the amount of jewelers we talked to in search of the…read moreright partner for my fiancees ring finger. Quotes in hand, and both good things and bad things to say about each, we were starting to believe a jeweler who combined great pricing, great service, and an eye for detail simply couldn't exist. Joe came through on all fronts: he was less for the diamond, faster on the turnaround, and small enough to share his cell phone for personal updates when needed. Every step of the way, from design to manufacture, we were comfortable and informed, even when the mandatory element of a surprise proposal kicked in. This was all because Joe was professional and transparent, and we're grateful for our investment in him.

My girlfriend and I did our due diligence before we ended up meeting with Joe at Sublime Diamonds,…read moremy girlfriend gave Joe a spreadsheet of the diamonds she was looking at and the prices she could get the diamonds for and Joe brought out two beautiful diamonds (a 1.21 and a 1.52 carat) that were rated higher than what my girlfriend was looking for and the price was cheaper, it was an immediate win win for us and we had no other option but to buy the 1.52 carat diamond on the spot. Then, my girlfriend had a small bag of some old jewelry items, Joe took a few minutes to look at each piece, tell us what kind of gold it was and how much we might be able to get if we sold it at one of those cash for gold type places, as well as look over her old diamonds to tell us about those as well. He even showed us websites so that we can see the going rate for the types of diamonds we had in these misc. rings and necklaces. It made our lives a lot easier when we did sell the items because we had a really good idea now of what we actually had and what we would probably get if we sold the items. Now my girlfriend wants to get a necklace from Joe, I better get a 2nd job.........Greg

On this occasion, he needed to return a shirt online that he didn't end up like the color in person.

They had some cute women clothing, pretty conservative but makes sense they are essentially premium basic clothes. I like that ideas because fashion changes but the basics will always be the basics.

Everyone was super friendly and helpful, helping us navigate our shopping experience. Since the grand opening, my wife and I have stopped in 3 times, and customized 5 items from boots, luggage tag, boot pull and even a belt. Everything has been perfect during 2 different customization sessions Definitely recommend looking at their handcrafted house specialists, to make the piece yours.

I found a pair of shoes on the Tecovas site and that same day drove an hour and a half to the…read moreOakbrook store to buy them. I walked in planning to get two pairs in different colors and a pair of boots too. There were a lot of associates working, and not one of them greeted me or said a word to me. They were talking to each other on the floor instead. It was 7 or 8 minutes before anyone asked if I needed help. When someone finally did, I told them exactly what I came for. I asked what they thought about the sizing on the shoe and the answer was "it's up to you." That was it. No help, no opinion, nothing. I only bought one pair, and that's because I need them for a meeting this week. The second color and the boots I walked away from. I've been in the Tecovas store in Texas before, and even though I didn't buy anything that day, the experience was completely different. It's disappointing that the store here at home is the one that missed the mark. When you drive that far ready to spend money, the least you expect is someone saying hello. I couldn't even tell you a single person's name including the person that clerked the sale. Some people create an experience and solve for something. Others clerk. The person at this store clerked. That's the difference between great stores and great salespeople and whatever this store provided.
