UPDATE MARCH 2017 Since their move south a couple blocks to…read morethe spot across the street from the newish Mickey Finn's, Serendipity seems to have really upped their game. They are a favorite place to stop on First Fridays, when I can hardly get in the door! And the stream of new and fun fashions and accessories is non-stop. Service is friendly and personal, too. Still one of my favorite stops. This is like shopping in a dear friend's great closet. Although the store is tiny, the variety always surprises me, and the service can't be beat. I find interesting items I find nowhere else, and while their prices are consistent with other stores, their sale items make them more affordable. There is even a comfortable place to sit! I have purchased tops, purses, outerwear, scarves, jewelry, and other items. Easy to miss since it is north of Casa Bonita and before the train tracks, up a couple of stairs. But with such a uniquely-vintage location and terrific items and service, it is worth the extra steps. Easy parking right in front, or in the copious parking lots around the corner on Lake Street. No I do not work for them - I am just a huge fan and want to be sure they stay in town!

The owner, Merrie, has impeccable taste and she can fit you into jeans like no other. She and her staff will never sell you anything that they dont think looks fantastic, and they are always 100% honest. This store carries little know designers as well as all of the big names, and you can be assured that no one else will ever have on the same outfit that you do. The selection ranges from t-shirts to formal wear, belts to purses, and everything in between. I honestly rarely shop anywhere else.

Its a long time but I must tell the truth! The absolute worst experience ever!!!!! I was a…read moreconsistent shopper at this very upscale boutique. I spent in the thousands each year. I had a $250.00 gift certificate, and wanted to use it. On the day i was there i only found one shirt for $70.00 that i wanted. I was told it could not be deducted from the total - i had to use more than the 250 or eat the rest... i thought this strange but...... i asked them to hold the shirt with the certificate they said fine. When I returned a month later and asked for the certificate and shirt i had found other items to purchase - they told me it had expired and they sold the shirt!!!!! I was beyond shocked!! first of all I believe it is illegal to not honor a certificate - next what bad customer service. They lost all my biz and i would strongly recommend NOT shopping at this store ever!

The best store in Highland Park!!…read more I personally love going here, ever since my cousin took me here. There are a lot of Beatles merchandise here, and vinyl records. Cool, right? But Rock N Rags also provides clothing! How could it get any better! The owner (Steve) is wonderful. He helps you with everything. Also, the employees are very nice. They are mostly in high school/college, but they help you with fashion tips. Steve is wonderful because he told me that Rock N Rags never prices over $100. So, everything there is $100 or less. What a bargain! Wonderful clothes, and awesome records $100 or less?! The brands there that they always have are Brandy Melville (includes J. GALT USA), Blu Pepper, and others. They usually have the vintage/bo-ho looks, and I love it! Overall, wonderful store, wonderful service, and fabulous records and clothing to choose from!

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!

After moving to Highland Park during the middle of the pandemic, I hadn't really gotten around to…read moremany stores nearby. I walk by this store everyday in the pre-dawn hours walking my dog, and the store windows always look amazing. And hesitated to go in after reading some of the reviews. Today I had the opportunity to go in as I had the day off work. I was dressed poorly - yoga pants, sweatshirt, and the knit hat I usually run in. And yet the ladies working couldn't have been nicer! I experienced none of the attitude other reviewers mentioned. They were all kind, helpful, not overly pushy or sales-y, and even called around for a sweater in my size that they didn't have anymore. Now the prices are not cheap- but on a strip with Eileen Fischer, Nic & Zoe, etc., why would you expect it to be? They have a lot of different styles across the board - tops, accessories, shoes - and if you look you can find things in just about any price range. I like shopping local and will definitely be going back, especially when I see a cool top in their window display.

Walking into this store feels like you stumbled into a hidden boutique on a street corner in Paris…read moreor London. The first time I went in, I was pleasantly surprised to find urban chic aesthetics filled with racks and shelves of unique European designs. The clothing can be mixed and matched and accessorized up or down to suit your personal taste. I spent 2 hours looking at jackets, jeans, long tops, short tops, handbags, shoes, jewelry, scarves, etc. And the best part is that every time I went back, there was a new flock of inventory to enjoy. Carla, the owner, takes pride in her store and has a fabulous eye for helping you find the items that best fit and enhance your individual style. All of the clothes in her shop are designed with flexibility and flair, and Carla was an absolute fashion wizard at teaching me all of the ways I could wear the same piece (not to mention, she's an absolute blast to hang out with!) While I usually prefer to be left alone by those sales people who bring you exactly what you don't want, when Carla suggests a piece would be fabulous on you, listen! Things I wouldn't have thought to try on are my go-to pieces every time! This is the kind of store that elevates suburban shopping, and I urge women of all ages to stop in and play as soon as it's safe for retail stores to open! In the interim, since we girls need our shopping fix, peruse the website. I heard that she is even putting up a video slide show in the window for her customers to get an idea of what they can buy online. Leave it to Carla to blaze a trail!

I went back to shop and picked out a few things and applied the gift card to it and found out that someone else already used it. The owner was there and she is the one I dealt with and treated me like I did something wrong. I wanted to go file a police report with the name of the person that used the card and she said that is a customer and has nothing to do with it. She was horrible to me and she knew that they screwed up by giving me this empty gift card and gave the credit to this person that shopped after me. I was very disappointed how they handled this. Enaz is not a reputable business and will never shop there again.
