The best news to hit Glen Ellyn was the opening of blonde. This small but mighty boutique packs a…read morehuge fashion punch by carrying the trendiest brands and styles, along with clever children's clothing, and fun gift options. One of the things I love is how the stylists make you feel when you go in. This isn't a stuffy place. The stylists (note that I didn't say "sales staff"?) are helpful, thoughtful, have a good eye to what looks good on you, and won't sell you something that doesn't. These qualities make for a great shopping experience. Looking for accessories to add to your new outfit? They carry beautiful jewelry and shoes, too! The welcoming atmosphere at blonde is ideal, especially for moms on-the-go that need efficiency and ease, which is exactly what blonde boutique delivers. They keep you looking stylish, but in an effortless way. PLUS, the store is kid friendly, so when you have the little ones in tow, you know they will be comfortable and engaged while you shop. It's a must-go!

I really owe an update on Banbury Fair. Particularly their antique barn in the back. I have spent…read moremany hours here over the past year. I truly love this shop! The items are constantly changing. It took me a while to realize that they hunt down these amazing finds and put them for sale in the barn. New to U and Girlfriends are my two favorite spots in the barn. Individuals own their own businesses that are housed there. Kim and Leslie are truly a couple of the nicest ladies I've ever met. They take some items on consignment and offer a very fair split. This is a great spot to find those unique pieces that your friends will be oo-ing and ah-ing over. Most recently, I saw a two tone desk. Red and natural wood. It is so sharp! I wish I had room for it. There's a small rolling desk looking for a new home. It's darling! I picked up the cutest rocking chairs for my nieces this Christmas. Banbury Fair is one of my favorite finds!

I spoke with Jan who is one of the owners regarding the new tapas and wine bar that will be opening in the barn on the property. Look for a grand opening early next year. I like to support local businesses and I did a little Christmas shopping. The atmosphere is festive and items are well displayed. They have a selection of women's clothing and accessories as well as adorable baby items and furniture pieces and decor. It is located right across from the historic Bartlett train depot. There is also a coffee bar called d^licious inside the shop serving coffee, bakery items, soups and sandwiches in case shopping makes you hungry.

This is a great store that exudes love for Chicago everywhere. You'll find some stuff local to…read morethese far west suburbs as well, but a lot of the stuff has Chicago-specific themes to it (for instance, the Chicago flag). They have t-shirts, blankets, coasters, glasses, hats, wall art... you name it, you might find it. It's a great place for Chicago souvenirs or just for those who love the city (and most people around here love their city) and its environs to find something for themselves. I saw some things that looked familiar and that's because they were from Tori Grace Outfitters, a local artist whom I love (check out her Chicago icon pajamas, they're great!). The place is super packed but we were able to navigate well enough with strollers. But being packed to the gills just means it's that much more likely you'll find just the thing you're looking for. I ended up with a Swiftie t-shirt for my kiddo because my friend handed it to her and then she would not part with it. The employees were friendly and talkative, and one of them I think was the owner. I liked the store a lot and as I said, it's a great place for souvenirs. I don't live close to Geneva but that's the only reason I wouldn't shop here. If I had known about the place before I went home a few weeks ago, I probably would have visited because I was looking for a place to get some souvenirs for my friends kids, and may keep them in mind for the next visit home for exactly that reason.

On September 5, 2026, I went to Boot barn 4423 U.S. 14 Crystal Lake, IL, 60014 Phone number:…read more(779)-994-6500. I went to this store and was interested in a wool cowboy hat and I tried it on but it didn't fit me. The seller offered me a stretch for the hat and told me to return to the store after two days. On September 7th, they told me it was ready to pick up but I wasn't available and wanted to come the next day. When they gave me the hat, the first thing i noticed was that there was dust all over the crown and also saw that it had been damaged or hit. This wasn't there when I came to the store on September 5th. I asked for a return of my money because of the damage but they told me that they had no other hats of the same model. They told me that it was store policy that I had to either take that one, because it was custom made for the size, or not get one at all. I had never been informed of this store policy as there were no signs or communication of any kind. I didn't accept the hat for the damage I saw and asked to speak with the manager. I asked for the customer service number to file a complaint and the manager, whose name is Mia, gave it but I left the store without a hat. An employee walked up to me as I was going to the parking lot telling me that I had forgotten my paid hat, which was damaged and i didnt want it. I left the store that day without my refund or my hat. I received no help after this. I called customer service and they had told me that the regional manager would reach out to me the next day. I waited ten days without a phone call from either the store or customer service. I opened up my credit card bank to file a complaint and here's my case ID: D260917026561. The account number ends in 9655. As of October 13th, I have yet to receive any news from the store or customer service and have still not received my refund. I am also going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Office of the Illinois Attorney General.

She was super personable, and we were patient because she was talkative and honest. She was going to emboss my sister's card, but eventually the system came up and we were all good. I bought Bitchstix lipbalm because it is a brand that supports victims of domestic and sexual abuse. They have tons of flavors, but I bought the Eucalyptus mint one.

First time visiting. It is a very large shop. We spent one hour there and only looked at half the…read moreshop. I started off really impressed with the store. It is brightly lit. Each vendor's kiosk is clean and nicely decorated. My impression started to fall down when I used the ladies restroom and discovered that there was no toilet paper in any of the 3 stalls. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I had chosen a stall that I thought had paper in it. So no toilet paper for me. There are signs in the restroom advising patrons to let a staff member know if the bathroom needs attending to. I'm supposed to do your job? Shortly after we went to the check out desk. I had a simple pair of earrings. The check out desk had at least 4 women doing various tasks. Only 1 woman was checking out the customer before us. I honestly don't mean to sound disrespectful, but whenever you have 3 elderly customers huddled around the check out desk with the one cashier, it is a sure bet that the transaction is going to take an extra long time. And that it did. None of the other 3 women acknowledged me to signal that they could check me out so I didn't have to wait for the 3 elderly people to finish. After about 5 minutes one of the managers signaled to me "one moment". So I expected her to put down the task she was working on and check me out. Didn't happen. She continued to do her task as did the other 2 women and I continued to wait! After another 5 minutes or so, a worker came to the check out desk, set up and finally checked me out. I did not appreciate having to wait at least 10 minutes (maybe more?) to check out when I was the only one in line. IMO, a customer waiting to check out should take precedence over clerks doing other tasks. I want to return to look through the other half of the store that I did not have time to see. But frankly, the check out experience left a bad taste in my mouth so I am not in a hurry to return.
