I have been working with Kelsey and Beverly as both a consignor and shopper for just over five…read moreyears now, and there is no one better than them. I previously consigned with a larger, national brand in the city and had multiple bad experiences, the culmination of which was them literally stealing a bag from me. That would NEVER happen here. Kelsey's combines high powered expertise and reach with small business personal touch. Items I drop off are meticulously tracked, and receipts/pricing is sent for my approval usually within minutes of me leaving. I've sold many designer bags, shoes and pieces of clothing with them and have never had issues with their pricing or payouts. I'm very knowledgeable of the market myself and we always see eye to eye on pricing. You can collect your balance at the beginning of each month and they'll have a check ready and waiting for you. Despite absolutely having the knowledge and ability to resell my pieces myself, I choose to work with them because it's such a great experience from beginning to end. Their payouts are at a higher percentage than what I have seen elsewhere, but even if they weren't - I'd still choose to consign with them. Not to mention, they're super fun and just great women to know. I can't recommend them enough!

Sadly I found some non-luxury pieces in their jewelry section: a Kendra Scott necklace next to a wrap bracelet is an odd pairing. Their shoe selection is STELLAR- find your size and go! The gals are always welcoming and friendly - no matter if you're having a bad hair day;) Their prices reflect the luxury pieces. This is not a "priced to move" shop. This is an upscale resale shop. Happy shopping!

Since they have relatively limited merchandise and are often out of varying sizes you are forced to just pick something if you need to return an item. I received gifts from SO and my options for exchange were minimal. I normally wouldn't have purchased the items I selected for the exchange. There is a big push to shop local small businesses but the return policy is a big turn off.

Do not enter the store if you are not of Caucasian decent!!!…read more My eyes caught some sneakers that are displayed in the front window so I went with my daughter and husband. There was another customer in there who just got out of the dressing area receiving positive and cheerful comments. Both sales associates were very pleasant to her. Since I carried my daughter who was about to fall asleep I asked my husband if he could inquire if they had the sneaker in a size EU 36. Oh boy that demeanor of the heavier set sales associate changed! Cold and rude she snapped saying that this is a size 6, which I confirmed to my husband. He added, kindly what the return policy is since he already knew that I wouldn't be able to try them on in the store, given I carried my half asleep daughter. In a condescending tone we were told that we can only return via store credit. Check out was cold and unpleasant. Amusing that the heavier set sales associate seemed so pleasant to the Caucasian appearing customer but not to us. I always felt that the Hinsdale community is rather diverse in respect to suburban communities but it was evident that some of the quiet parts are still very loud and obvious. Will not set another foot in this store. All of this commotion and absurd behavior over some cheap Sneakers.

Located in downtown Hinsdale, Alixandra Collections (there is also a sister store in Western Springs called Alixandra Blue specializing in jeans) has a wide range of belts, bags, jewelery, shoes and clothing. Since the store is large- everything is clearly displayed. Gotta love it when shopping is simple!! I have bought several bags and accessories here and am always asked where I got them. The owner of these boutiques brings in the the most unique products and there is always something new! You know its good when it makes one of Chicago Magazine's top boutiques of 2007 and it is not even in the city!! The beauty of Hinsdale? It's only 25 minutes from the Loop and for all you city snobs- no- you don't need a passport to come out west!

They had some cute children's bunting as we get closer to the winter months. They were having an "indoor sidewalk sale", with some of their items being up to 75% off--this included clothes, toys, books, and other items and knickknacks. They had some books and stuffed animals that complement the books, like the Little Blue Truck and Corduroy. I bought a cute little dress for the holidays for my daughter, as well as a lovely sweater for the upcoming season. Their children's stuff isn't cheap, but it's not unreasonable for an independent children's store. I was really thankful that I found a place that sells clothing for children--in this case, holiday wear in particular--that is machine washable, because oftentimes children's clothing is marked as dry clean only (whyyyy). There is street parking in this area which can be limited, but I think there's also a Metra stop half a block away from the store.

What a treat! First of all, this store is sooooooo cute! It is every girly-girls dream come true!…read more A colleague introduced me to Clever Girl three years ago and every time I have gone in, I have found something that I have fallen in love with. What I love about Clever girl, besides the fact that it's a mini-department store is that they truly strive to curate items that are stylish (without being too trendy), unique and budget friendly. At Clever Girl, you can find women's clothing, accessories (I saw the same enamel bangels featured in "O" Magazine here in some of the most tempting summer colors), items for the home ( the best smelling candles ever), and baby items. You will also find a great selection of greeting cards, other stationary items and exciting odds and ends here. The selection is always changing and it feels like a new store every time I have walked in. And when I leave with my purchases in hand, I always feel like a clever girl ;).

My son was born premature and spent a lot of time at Adventist Hinsdale's NICU learning how to eat…read more I wanted to breastfeed, so, in turn, I spent time with some of the lactation consultants (Celeste and Mary Beth). They were both amazing, kind, and resourceful! When he was discharged, I was exclusively pumping but knew when we got home, I'd work on breastfeeding again. We have come across some challenges along the way, but I chalked most of it up to him learning that a bottle is easier to eat from. I initially went to The Nook to discuss my supply. However, I got so much more help than that! At our first appointment, Kelly immediately pinpointed a lot of my own concerns about my son even before we got to formally discussing him. I felt so much better having someone help identify the issues he's been having but haven't been fully addressed! At a subsequent appointment, Celeste also offered her opinion and corroborated Kelly's. Kelly referred me to a few specialists and even got on the phone and tried to get me in to one while I was still in her office. She also gave me her email address to follow up, and has checked in on me! I probably (maybe?) would have ended up at these specialists eventually down the road, but ended up getting assessments and interventions done NOW because of the guidance I've received. For that I'm very thankful. As a result, both my son and I are having an easier time with feeding and it's only been a few weeks. My supply still isn't where I'd like it to be. I know Kelly helped in every way that she could with suggestions and tips. That and breastfeeding have been big stressors...and Kelly literally wiped away my tears - as my hands were full feeding my son - as I cried over it. The woman is amazing and has helped my son and I so much! My son has now latched and breastfed several times since some interventions have been put into place. I'm one happy momma; I honestly wasn't sure we'd ever get to this point! I highly recommend The Nurturing Nook and Kelly for help with lactation and feeding!

This place is a gem…read more I went to another lactation consultant for weeks. I had very little progress with breastfeeding. I found Kelly when my son was 15 weeks and it changed everything. She helped identify my sons issues, help us and recommend additional resources. They also have a FREE breastfeeding support group every Tuesday. You can go, do a free weighted feed, and speak to a lactation consultant. It's not one on one but it's still very helpful. Highly recommend this place

One of the sales people, Lisette, was very engaged and went the extra mile to ensure I was taken care of. She brought me some options I never would have picked for myself and showed me different ways to wear, roll, button, etc. As a mom who has not felt stylish since pre-kids, it was a pleasant experience. I've always liked their selection - both clothing and home - but as we know, service speaks volumes. I appreciate Lisette and hope they keep up this top-notch service.
