    The maternity section is tiny (two racks) compared to what they have in kids' clothes (an entire store), but we majorly scored

    I am deeply concerned about the maturity of today's children's clothing. These styles are entirely…read moreinappropriate and belong on a 20 or 25-year-old woman, not a child. It makes me wonder, at what point did we lose our way in designing clothes that are truly appropriate for our kids? We once had brands like Justice and The Limited that understood how to dress children without making them look like miniature adults. We must ask ourselves why this is happening now.

    We went back to Frankie's On the Park to look for a service dress for my daughter's upcoming bat…read moremitzvah. This time I made an appt with the infamous Suzie who was kind enough to meet us on a Sunday morning before the store was even open. Suzie has quite the reputation (a good one!) among the bat mitzvah girls and I can see why. She had an eye for what would look good on my daughter and nailed it within 5 minutes. Done! We then made our way downstairs to do some shopping while we had the store to our own. She found a dress to wear to other mitzvahs that she liked so much we got it in a few colors and did some fall shopping as well (aka sweatpants and cute long sleeve tees). We spent more than I was planning to, but the smile on her face was priceless. My daughter wears a junior size and I do find the dress selection a bit limited for juniors (she had 2 racks to choose from), but they certainly have more than anywhere else I've seen and easier to try on person than ordering a bunch online. I think she's good on dresses for the rest of 2023, but when we are ready for more I"ll definitely be calling Suzie to make sure she'll be there to help!

Especially the book "Chicago Loves me" and the teether, onesies, and Penelope the bunny which allow the child to see themselves as the character in the book!

Vanessa, the owner, is exceedingly kind and stopping in today and having the chance to meet her feels like fate. When I first stopped in the other employee here greeted me and asked what brought me in and if I needed help finding anything. It's not a large place but there is a LOT to look at. They have clothing, accessories, adult jewelry (possibly kids jewelry too, but I wasn't looking at it much), hair notions, and so on. One thing I really needed is a pacifier clip since my daughter has taken to pulling hers out and it ends up in a place in her carseat that is hard for me to reach! They happened to have these which made it a successful shopping trip right there. But whilst we were wandering, Vanessa complimented my sweetie pie and we got to talking. I was in the store for 35 minutes or so and probably half of that was chatting with her. I got a couple of the pacifier clips, and a freaking ADORABLE winter hat that I'm pretty sure is handmade and will probably fly off the shelf. I also bought a book featuring Chicago landmarks which I learned as I checked out Vanessa actually wrote. She autographed it for my baby which I love! Parking is street only and probably can get tough some days, but it's worth the visit. The store is full of really high quality items. They have quite a few Chicago-themed items as well, such as the aforementioned hat, onesies, t-shirts, and so on. It was so nice to talk with Vanessa and get to know her a bit. This is a small shop with big heart and should be on your list of fave baby shops in Chicago.

But Cory and Rachel completely changed that for us. From the moment we walked in, they were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without being pushy at all. They took the time to understand what we were looking for, walked us through different options, and answered every single question we had (and we had a lot!). Their expertise really stood out, and it made us feel confident in our decisions. By the end of it, it honestly didn't make sense not to make the purchase because of how thorough and helpful they were. We ended up choosing a Nuna, and we absolutely love it--we can't wait to start using it once our baby arrives! The complimentary installation was also such a huge bonus and made the whole experience feel even more seamless and stress-free. Highly, highly recommend Twinkle Twinkle--especially Cory and Rachel. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and exciting!

Very friendly and helpful associates. Exceptionally organized. Usually well stocked in all sizes. Love that you can do online returns and exchanges in no time. Very welcoming store. Been multiple times and never had any problems and was given great service every single time. The store manager helped me find everything I needed within 10 minutes.

The beauty of the location is that it's always empty during the week too. Now that my imaginary panic caused by MTV is over, I can splurge on my lil guy here.
