Between this shop and Virtu in Bucktown, I'm reminded why I love shopping local and why it's so important to do so whenever possible. 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.

A wonderful baby and toddler boutique filled with unique and special clothing and accessories. The owner who is lovely and helpful designed a line of clothing made from vintage fabrics including versatile and super stylish summer dresses for tots. I was gift shopping for a baby girl so did not explore baby boy offerings but she had a great selection of jammies and other clothing in terrific prints. But the best gift for the child or grandchild of Chicagoans are adorable onesies and T-shirts sporting the Chicago skyline in an array of bright fabrics. A delightful children’s book on the sights of Chicago, (written by the store owner!) rounds out a perfect gift. Accessories such as barrettes, headbands, crowns, and other fun and tempting things for kids are in abundance. I also spied gorgeous christening dresses and little suits in a separate glass case. You’ll know this store by the pink Volkswagen bus kiddy car in the window. I want that! It’s a bit more expensive but well worth it. And both women I worked with were a delight, a rarity today. Highly Recommended

This is a new find for me! I've walked by many times and finally decided to stop in a couple months ago. And I've been back several times since then. A huge variety of baby/kid/jewelry options, and I love supporting a small, local business. Both the owner and younger woman who works there were so helpful and friendly every time I've stopped by.I do think it's important to let customers know that items can be returned with a receipt but you will only get store credit. I didn't realize this until seeing it on the website, which just came online a few days ago. I haven't needed to return anything yet, but I think this policy should be told to customers during every purchase.

I purchased a dress for my granddaughter on Sunday and returned it on Friday as it did not work for her. I was told even if you have a receipt you can only get store credit. It was written in small print behind the cash register. I was not told this at time of purchase. Not flexible at all for customers.No wonder people shop at Amazon. I am so sick of getting ripped off by greedy people. I thought I would support a small business but I give up.

This is not a place to window shop. You WILL buy stuff. I learned this the hard way. The selection is insane and there's such a wide variety of styles and price points, I was lucky to get out having only bought two things, and they were cute as hell. A great place to treat yoself.

The cutest store you can come across. They have so many beautiful handmade clothes for kids and I just love everything. Did you know she also has a stash of children’s books for local authors? One of the best local stores to support and check out for the holidays. I highly recommend it.

Cute, unique clothes and baby products. My one knock is that there isn’t a wide selection of boys clothing/products. I’d also like to see a wider variety of toys/books especially now that Red Balloon is no longer there.They also have a selection of inexpensive jewelry for adults. Some I would say you could wear to your wedding.

This place is AMAZING!!! Incredibly unique, impeccably made infant, toddler and young children’s clothing. The owner is amazing and handmade a baby blanket out of the train of my wedding dress (was a gift) AND had the foresight to SAVE as much of the dress as possible (giving is the ability to have another dress)!!!! Have been there 3 times. I LOVE it!!!!

This review is long overdue. Prior to this shop, I rarely owned any accessories. Since walking into this beautifully inviting store in Lakeview, my bling game has improved from a level 2 to level 10. The shop holds the most unique items for all taste. The owner always greets customers with a sweet hello and always asks if we need help finding a particular item. I just found out she also customized pieces for you for any event. Let's not even forget about the high quality children pieces from everyday wear to special occasions like baptisms, weddings & communions. There is also super cute kids Cubs attire. I'd recommend you stroll on Southport and stop in. Like me, you'll keep coming back.

I've been in the store multiple times and shopped for many gifts!They have things you would never find anywhere else which is pretty rare now a days. The owner was very helpful and kind, whenever I'm there she is very dedicated to her ... I really love it here and it's hard to find a place for gifts and nice thing for yourself. I try to find small businesses because now during these times they need all of us to support them. I would 100% return here. it's not only clean but it's also really cute, has many things/selections of items, fantastic service, everyone is super kind. When you walk in it feels like a positive space in which you feel safe.
