The Scene – The husband and wife team of Rick and Sheila Bower scour the globe to stock their wonderfully eclectic north suburban clothing and accessory boutique. You'll easily spend an hour perusing its wares and enjoying its quirky, colorful signage. Hip, young staffers (often decked out in colorful wigs, cowboy hats and the like) are helpful when they're not dancing to the latest hip-hop CD they've popped in. – – The Goods – College-cute party wear with ethnic flair is the mode here. Despite its name, there's not too much that's truly Mexican. You'll find tees in…
Sunglasses galore
by leebug
This store is the best for cute dresses and skirts that are a different style than you will find other places. IT is a great place for A-line skirts and really girly fun stuff. The best thing about the store is the sunglasses. If you are a sunglasses fanatic, you will be in heaven. I've always had a good time with customer service and they are always willing to help find something if you're not sure exactly what you want. The only drawback is that some of the clothes tend to run smaller than conventional department store sizes.
- Pros: original and unique selection
- Cons: sometimes pricey, hours
Please don't buy gifts here!!
by dbandk
I received a gift for my birthday from this store. It wasn't to my taste, so I drove up to Evanston to return it (I live in Chicago). Turns out they're closed on Mondays.
I drove back up today, only to find that they have a "STRICT" two-week return policy, and they sent me away. Nowhere on the box did it note this policy. And they weren't very nice about it.
First, this is poor customer service. Second, it's bad business! I returned another gift at another store in Evanston and ended up spending 3 times what the original giver had spent!
So... buy here for yourself (if you must), but please, please do not shop for gifts at this store.
- Pros: Never got that far.
- Cons: Amazingly bad return policy and customer service.
Great, artsy and unique
by ylb220
My daughter and I love this shop! The merchandise is unique and will not be found anywhere else. The owners have a great eye for special artsy items purchased during there yearly worldwide buying trips. I always receive compliments on the jewelry purchased here. If you are ever in Evanston it is worth a stop and browse. There is a lot to see. And I have always received friendly service!
- Pros: variety, unusual, fairly priced
- Cons: out of the way, parking
