After visiting The Oddities Show in Rosemont, it was suggested to visit this shop which I did…read moretoday. I sort of knew about this shop after attending a play down the street several weeks ago. However, the time of the play and the hours of this store did not match that day. Interesting, strange, one of a kind items are here. If you visit, be sure to look up! I did have to buy an Edgar Allen Poe pill box before leaving. I was the only person in the shop and I would have stayed longer but I couldn't stand the music any longer. Perhaps I will visit again with my Paranormal friends.

Tucked quietly on the corner is a beautifully strange little sanctuary for the curious and the…read moremacabre. The moment you step inside, you're wrapped in a moody, gothic atmosphere that feels less like a store and more like a place to linger -- to explore, to wonder, to feel. The collection is a haunting blend of morbid mementos, scientific oddities, and dark, beautifully crafted pieces that pull you in and refuse to let go. Every shelf holds something fascinating. Every detail feels intentional. What makes it even more special is that the owner creates most of the pieces. There's soul in the work -- and it shows. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate, they make the space feel personal and alive. Elgin is lucky to have a shop like this -- a little corner of the strange and the beautiful. Prices are fair, the vibe is unforgettable, and it's absolutely worth stepping inside.

I went into the store yesterday to return merchandise I purchased 2 weeks ago online using my…read moreKohl's/CapitalOne charge card. The woman at the return desk said the purchase was made with a merchandise credit (it wasn't) and refused to refund purchase price to my credit card. I'm done with Kohl's and CapitalOne.

I used to love shopping at Kohls, great store, great pricing, and great perks for having a Kohl…read moreCharge Card. Open the new age of Kohls Capital One - new credit card associated with a big bank where not only do you "have" to reactivate a card I've had since 2000, but also "have" to go into the Capital One credit card site to make payments. I did not ask for a new card nor authorize Kohls to provide my personal and financial information to Capital One. I certainly did not authorize Kohls to give my personal banking information to Capital One for payment processing. I am floored that Kohls thought this was ok and this is a protocol breach of personal information being provided to a 3rd party company which is illegal. Goodbye Kohls, I will no longer use your stores for my personal, holiday and gift shopping if you have no ethics and provide my personal information to a 3rd party without my expressed authorization.

I came here to browse while waiting to meet my friend to wander around downtown STC. They have some…read morereally cute things here and the prices weren't as steep as I was expecting. The items I had my eye on weren't available in my size, but it was fun to look around. I would come back again. They had some cute accessories as well. Bonus points that one of the employees (I'm assuming the owner) had her very cute black lab in the store. Always a bonus when I get to pet a dog.

Well - with a cute name like Jeans & A Cute Top, how could you not stop in?!?!…read more What a fantastic shop! The store is large enough to showcase a ton of looks. New arrivals and sale racks all had their place. Cute accessories helped finish the looks. The fitting rooms were plentiful and spacious. My eyes were looking everywhere. We found cute options for me and great things for my friend. She tried on a few pieces, loved them all and purchased them all. You can easily create a makeover in this one store alone. They carried classic pieces and new, trendy arrivals for any season and the upcoming fall season too. The young lady working on this morning was very sweet. She was helpful and offered a ton of information on the items we were looking at and the sales the store was having. She also explained what was happening in the neighborhood and the Jazz Fest that had just finished up. The selection and prices are perfect for picking up something for yourself a special gift for someone else. This is definitely a go-to spot!

She had…read morea baby in July... her body isn't the same... she needs to try clothes on to make sure they fit. Common sense... Please... explain this logic to me... someone make sense of of this policy for me... They will not let you try any clothes on in the store because of "cOvId"... 1) where's the data that says fitting rooms are causing "cOvId" cases? 2) where's the logic that they want you to buy multiple clothing sizes (wasting your money)... bring it into your dirty car... bring it into your home which is an uncontrolled environment... try it on at home... then drive all the way back and return (and have to wait a week for a refund) where it'll go back on the shelf anyways... Please... tell me how that makes sense? The clothes will get 10x more germs on them making multiple trips than simply trying them on in the changing room. Lmfao. This is absolutely ridiculous and needs to end. Also they enforce masks like they are the mask police. When are we going to grow up and stop this? These policies some businesses currently have do absolutely nothing for the "safety" of anyone. It's flat out dumb. We will quite literally never come here again because this store lacks core common sense.

I love that her clothing is carefully curated and she offers quality clothing for a reasonable price. I still have clothing that I purchased from her 20 years ago because it's classic, not trendy.

My main issue was with the staff (and I should have looked this is up on Yelp before visiting because it seems to be a common concern). The woman who rang me out was rude and asked me questions which then she openly judged when I responded. I hope they get some customer service training because the store itself does have potential.

The woman helping her was so inappropriate with her comments about my clothing and my friend's appearance. Unbelievable. If it were me taking my items in and this woman spoke to me the way she spoke to my friend, it wouldn't be pleasant. She asked completely appropriate questions. Asked if I had a shopping problem because I had a lot of clothing. This woman has no idea what I have been through (battling severe illness for 10+ yrs) and questioned why I am selling so much. She insulted some of my clothing because clearly she is clueless about fashion. Even thought she considered her shop "high fashion" which it is not whatsoever. They need to educate themselves on their knowledge of what is considered "high fashion". There are other consignment shops in the area where I will be taking my goodies elsewhere. Never again.

This was the best decision I could have made. From closet audit to helping me build my wardrobe,…read moreKatherine was EXCELLENT to work with. I always struggle with what to wear and Katherine helped me understand my body type; items to look for, clothing materials to pass up and combinations in my current wardrobe I never knew existed. She helped me weed through my closet, item by item and really get rid of what was unnecessary. Building my closet basics has allowed me to have half the clothing with quadruple the options for outfits. Every day is completely new and different with fewer headaches and quicker decisions! Katherine took time to understand my needs, my personal style and what my life consists of so that my wardrobe truly fits me. Her professionalism, fun personality and promptness helped make the experience that much better. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to update, change over or improve their wardrobe.
