Stacey was an absolute gem! My wife and I wandered into Blu Violet Boutique during spring break --…read moreand it instantly became one of those "we're-just-browsing-oh-wait-let's-buy-everything" kind of stops. Despite how busy it was, Stacey personally welcomed every guest with that kind of hospitality that makes you wonder if she's lowkey your long-lost aunt. She made the whole space feel inviting and cozy, even as she was styling, ringing up, and somehow still smiling through it all. She's the MVP of multitasking and mood-setting. Let's talk clothes -- my wife was in boutique heaven. The selection hit that magical zone of trendy and timeless, like "that dress will slay now and five years from now." She found pieces for brunch, casual Fridays, and -- no joke -- we even considered coordinating outfits for future date nights. If matching sets are the new love language, this place understood the assignment. Now for me -- the supportive husband on standby. I came fully prepared to be ignored and under-caffeinated. Instead, I got cozy seating, cold bottled water, and good vibes. I felt seen. Honestly, the only thing missing was a small men's rack so I could join in on the fashion fun. I would've gladly snagged a matching neutral-toned shacket and made it a full Instagram moment. Final verdict: Blu Violet is a vibe. It's the kind of place where your wife walks out with a glow, you feel unexpectedly refreshed, and suddenly you're googling "how to style couple outfits without looking like a prom photo." 10/10 would return -- with hopes of menswear, or at the very least a whiskey, while waiting.

The prices are slightly elevated; however, they have great sale items and most garments are unique and worth the extra cost. The shop has a sister adjoining store called Marigold, a perfect spot for hostess gifts, holiday ornaments, candles and table top items. The staff members are helpful, will package your items in gift bags and you can shop in both places then checkout in either shop. Edie Boutique is conveniently located on Milwaukee Avenue with free street parking, within walking distance from the Metra station. You can stroll up and down MainStreet and pop into bookstores, kitchen shops, coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques for a small town experience supporting local businesses!

I stopped in and was greeted by one of the owners, Patty, a very friendly, helpful woman that showed me around and pointed out some of the upscale items she had. This diamond in the rough store had beautiful handbags, jewelry and designer clothing priced unbelievably low! Plan on enough time to dig through the many layers of clothes tightly packed on racks, the owners plan on expanding the store since its popularity and hope they succeed. I left with so many treasures and decided to bring my own designer clothes and bags to this store after seeing what they carry. Want something with quality and style, this is the place! T Defazio

Great Quality, Great Service, and Great Design! We love Celine Jewelers and we love Wanda!…read more My Fiancé bought my engagement ring here and we are now buying our wedding bands here as well.

I had been looking for an engagement ring for a few months and had been to about five other stores,…read moretwo of which I was seriously considering, when I happened to walk by Celine's. It looked nice but the word Custom in the title made me think expensive. I met with Celine twice to discuss what styles I did and did not like, what I could afford, etc., before I decided to purchase a ring. I received exactly what I wanted and expected-- the design we agreed upon, a slightly larger diamond than I had originally planned, and she kept it about 15% under my maximum budget. PROS: Not pushy, came in under budget, beautiful craftsmanship, quick turnaround (about 3 weeks) CONS: I'm not sure that I would have bought my ring here if this were the first or second store I went to because it didn't create much of a learning environment. The meetings were geared more toward crafting a ring as opposed to exploring the options at my disposal. It seems like the store does more business with people who purchase jewelry more often than I Rating note: I am one of those Type A, perfectionists who almost never gives five stars but I rounded up on this one because I think the other one star review is so non-representative of my experience at this store. This is a solid 4.5 star shop.

I bought a skirt on October 17, but I didn't realize until October 30 that it was damaged. I went…read moreto the store to see if I could exchange it. The woman scanned the item to check if it was in stock. She immediately told me that they didn't have any in stock at all. I said all right, thank you, and told her that was fine. I'm going to take a look around and see if I can exchange it for anything else. I went to the area where I originally found the skirt, and what do I see? I found another skirt - not in my size, but still... Here's the thing: she dismissed me immediately and didn't try to find another solution. It was like she was in a rush for whatever reason, even though there were hardly any customers - and it was 10:30 in the morning, mind you.
