I can't believe it's taken me so long to stop into this free standing A&O. The eclectic yet chic…read moredisplays-- to mention a sale rack featuring items 65%-75% off--are just what the doctor ordered to shake off the January doldrums. I usually hit up Bloomingdale's across the street for my fix; this location, with its spacious interiors and vast accessory and shoe sections to complement the delectable wearables, made me realize just what I was missing. As a walk down retail memory lane, Cop Copine (now in the 900 North Shops) used to be in this location. There was only one other customer in the store and the retail experience was what I appreciate the most- attentive without being overbearing. I ended up with a dress for an event in April (originally $600, marked down to $350) and a skirt and top. Unfortunately for me - maybe not so much for my pocketbook - the full skirt that I was eyeing (on full price) was not available in my size. The personalized service and nifty garment bag that folded up and over into shopping-bag proportions all contributed to my good shopping vibes. Word to the wise: the sale will be ending in a matter of days, at which time all the goods will be packed up and shipped off to the warehouse to make way for Spring 2015 goods. If you want to check out the sale goods while they still last, I suggest coming here without delay.

Conveniently located in the 900 North Shops, Londo Mondo features a selection of women's clothing…read moreand accessories, as well as swimwear year-round. The space is well-lighted and easy to navigate. In addition to clothing, there is artwork from the store's owner for sale. Many of these items are Chicago scenes that lend themselves to gifting or souvenirs. The price points are reasonable, and the items are fresh and on-trend, without reading as fashion victim.

Since I'd only recently learned about this boutique in our neighborhood, I decided to give it a try…read morelast week. I was hesitant to approach the store at first since I was unfamiliar with the layout, but I was attracted by the cute products I saw on the display and decided to go in. I'm thankful that it did not disappoint. Immediately upon entering the store, I was greeted with a smile and a genuine hello. The staff at this store is incredibly knowledgeable about their inventory and is always happy to provide a helping hand to you. Furthermore, there is a large selection available. This enabled me to choose from a diverse choice of their products as a result. The products I purchased last week much exceeded my expectations, and I will most certainly be back next week to make additional purchases. Highly recommended to all, definitely worth a try.

Really love the comfortable feeling clothes here and all the varieties if dresses, cute tops, boxer…read morestyle shorts intimates and sweaters. I've shopped here multiple times with my Pyrenees and I love the fact that everything here is either 100% cotton or very close to it. All the intimates I've purchased fit extremely well or I wouldn't keep coming back. I prefer leaving five stars as a local guide but instead I'm leaving three because of the fact that you can't try on anything here before you buy it so if you aren't a Chicago local you're out of luck. So far i haven't had to return anything though because all of these dresses have adjustable straps and if you buy drawstring shorts you can tighten or loosen the material to fit your body type. I am only five foot one so I can definitely fit into these clothes. The only item that didn't fit me well are a pair of denim shorts I purchased but I may either resell them or lose a bit of weight lol. Here all the fitting rooms are permanently closed. But what really upset me yesterday was the fact that I wanted to try on a metallic gold sweater top but the security guard stopped me and said it's the store policy that no one can try anything on not even a sweater! I don't agree with that policy nor have I ever shopped at a boutique women's clothing store where you can't try on something as simple as a sweater! I also wish to add that when you check out not all the girls are friendly. You're told that all intimates are non refundable as a warning and they never ask you if you've had a pleasant shopping experience. They ring everything up kind of like it's just a job to them then ask you if you want a bag? May I suggest to upper management that you train your staff to be kinder and bag everything up. Better yet provide cute cloth bags as a kindness a cute complimentary cloth bag that we can reuse like the bags provided by Free People brand so that it's eco friendly! In summary some of the staff are polite enough to want to help but yesterday there weren't enough sales crew on the floor and some of the cashiers were looking kind of harried. Love the clothes strongly disagree with the no try on before you buy policy here!

When Brandy Melville first opened a location in Chicago, the shop was pretty small to the point you…read morecould barely even move around in it and they had to limit the amount of people inside. I'm glad they changed it to the current location that has two levels and is much more spacious, but it STILL feels too crowded in there each time I've gone (especially on the weekends). My biggest pet peeve here is that the line to go to the dressing room has people blocking entire walls of clothes, so other shoppers can't really look at those items. The employees (who could be mistaken for shoppers most of the time) are typically folding clothes constantly, which also makes it difficult if they are working on folding a section and I can't really browse that section if they are standing in the way. I try to understand because with the amount of traffic in and out of this store, they definitely try to keep it looking nice and neat. Also was sad they had no free stickers or pins by the register this time like they usually do. Womp womp. I've been here many times because I hate paying their expensive shipping prices. It's a great place to just get simple clothes for everyday wear. Their prices are more affordable when compared to other shops too. They always have new styles every time I come here. Can't wait for the Naperville location to open! Hopefully it won't be as crowded. It'll also be more close to me too. Yay :D

I have been in this store in the past but never purchased anything. I returned 2x today for 2 bags…read morethey had reduced + 30% off. I had set them down the first time I visited and then hiked it back to the Gold Coast to get them. I browsed the store. It was pretty crowded, but we are still having warm weather in Chicago, as expected. Plus, Glossier opened up next door. They had a freaking line to get in (like a nightclub). I did not get that, honestly. ( I went inside there... I am left confused as to their appeal.) Back to Madewell. I really like their clothing selection, and their pricing was quite decent for the nice quality. The cashier was super friendly and quickly signed me up for their rewards program. I look forward to returning to this lovely store.

It was weird when my friend and I walked around and there were these sales associates just standing in the corner and glancing at us. But there is a wife selection of cute casual to formal clothings. The value is more upscale. Overall it was nice to come downtown and look at the clothing here and there's plenty of stores around the area for shopping as well.

We walked in, were told to order from a screen and no actual human would help give us advice on dress selection, and when we asked for their help were told by a rude staffer that this is just a "tech store" and "we are busy because we are understaffed during the holidays" (when there were only like 5 other people in the store, who the staff were also not helping). It's like they are actively trying NOT to sell clothes. Will never spend a dollar here again.

The space itself is a bit dark for my taste, but it fits the aesthetic they're going for. Service was very attentive. Almost too attentive. Multiple check-ins asking if I needed help which isn't a bad thing, just felt a little over the top if you're someone who likes to browse in peace. That said, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly trained well. Still a fan of the brand and the store. Even when I say I'm "just looking," Kith somehow convinces me otherwise.
