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!

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.

I stepped 1 foot into the store and a women with dark short black hair gave me an unpleasant welcome.

We continued in the store as I do know people have bad days, a separate employee with blonde hair followed us into the back display room and told the associate helping in that room to " keep and eye on us" I'm absolutely disgusted with this store and would never recommend it.

I'm tired of the fitting rooms always being closed! Also, the clothes are never organized properly.read more

Ross Dress for Less…read more Less is the keyword. I brought a relative in to look for some sweaters and a nightgown, and I found the store to be woefully understocked. There were large empty sections in the store, and the selection was sparse. This relative is immune to fashion, and mainly price-conscious, but we could find no nightgowns that would suit. And rather than spend time looking through the rest of the clothing, I said, let's go. Less is more? Sometimes less is less.

I recently discovered this special consignment store by accident. The store is not easily seen from…read moreTownline Road, Rt. 60 in Vernon Hills. 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

I have many obsessions, one of them being frickin' cute fashion boutiques that make me envision my…read morewell-dressed life in Beverly Hills, with my American Express Black Card in hand. Something about boutiques make me want to uncontrollably swipe my credit card, and now Bevello (at Deer Park Town Center) has jumped to the top of my list. From what the welcoming girl that works at this location told me, there are 22 other Bevello stores, although the one at Deer Park is the ONLY one in the mid-west. How lucky are we?! She did say that there are plans of opening another one in the South Loop of Chicago soon. Bevello carries a variety of well known brands such as Seven for all Mankind, Splendid, Paige, BCBG, Michael Kors, and more. I have to admit that I was saddened when the French Connection, in Woodfield Mall, decided to close up shop. That frown has now been turn upside down as I have found that Bevello carries French Connection. It's as if they searched through all the funky options that I would of normally had to sift through, and picked out the cute articles of clothing just for me. How generous of them. I also spotted some hip colorful, I believe James Jeans, that even on sale I had to talk myself out of. With all my might, I forced my gaze away and repeated in my head, "You do not need $200 jeans. You do not need $200 jeans." There are both affordable and pricey items at Bevello. I found cute blouses for around $30-40, and then others closer to the $65-90 range. Depending on the article of clothing and brand you're looking at, obviously your prices are going to range differently. They also have a sale rack worth checking out. In addition to clothing, they have shoes, clutches, belts, jewelery, and other accessories. My eye was caught by many vibrant maxi dresses that I WILL be going back for. A girl can always use an extra maxi dress or two, right? Now, I don't know if I can speak for my bank account, but I am so glad that I stumbled upon Bevello. Choose Deer Park Town Center for your next shopping adventure and stop on in Bevello.

I was happy to hear there is one opening in South Loop soon since I'm a Chicagoan and can't trek out this far regularly. The shop has great selection- lots of options in lots of colors, so if you like a certain style of shirt or dress, they have it in a few color options which is always nice. The store was bright and airy and really had a bunch of cool, not-too-expensive options. I came away with a BUNCH of shirts and a pair of Vince Camuto flats. They have a nice mix of pricier stuff (I tried on a really cute t-shirt that was $88!) and less expensive but still stylish things (most of the shirts I bought are in the $30-$40 range). The salespeople were so nice and super friendly. I really had a great time and hope to visit again soon!

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.
