Glam To Go

I love stopping in Glam to Go. Jenny stocks the store with really cute jewelry and accessories at various price points. No matter the budget, you can find something fabulous. I buy most birthday gifts there and always pick up something for myself as well.

IN A SENTENCE:
Almost always find something I love & usually for a price that works with my budget — they have a good range of prices from $ to $$$.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
DRESSES — I’ve found dresses for different occasions and that work for more than one occasion (examples: a graduation ceremony, a rehearsal dinner & a wedding in Mexico). I’ve recieved tons of complements on them and plenty of wear out of them — I wouldn’t describe them as timeless, but they will be stylish for multlple years.
JEWELRY — some of it is cheesy & will only be part a fad (like Portlandia’s «put a bird on it» sketch) where it won’t be worn for more than one or two seasons. HOWEVER: overall the majority is stylish & unique. Most items are casual, day-​to-​day wear, but some can be dressed up for special occasions.
PURSES — nice selection for a variety of prices and occasions.
SERVICE:
SOoooooo good. Friendly and HONEST!!! When I ask for an opinion, they don’t try to sell me something unless it looks great on me. They’ll find something else or they’ll let me walk out empty handed without laying on a guilt trip. Really, I don’t think the service could be better.
The ONLY THING I DON’T LOVE:
The name of the store is a tad… lame. I think it brings down the image of how good it really is. That said — you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I love this store.

I love this place! I agree with everyone else how Jen is so friendly and I was amazed she remembered us the second time! Today was our 3^rd visit and we were going specifically for the glamorous small purse for my boyfriends sisters Xmas gift and some jewelry. We didn’t think we would find a gift for his sister– in– law too! It’s such an amazing store! We will definitely return soon And next time it will be for me! glam to go is a hidden gem every woman should know about!

I don’t know where to start.
I love this place. It’s like an awesome secret you share with your best friends. I have brought every one of them here and they Glam To Go almost as much as I do! I love the clothes, though they are admittedly a little pricey. I have a handbag that, every time I use, I get asked «WHERE did you get that bag?!» Same thing goes with this pretty necklace I’m wearing right now. I got about a hundred compliments on it today.
The squeals and compliments on accessories are great, but my favorite thing about Glam To Go is the owner, Jen. She makes you feel welcome the second you walk in, and within five minutes, she’s talking to you like she’s been your best friend forever. (The first time my friend and I stopped in years ago, she turned to me and asked me how long I’ve known the owner of this store and why I’d been holding out on her. It was my first visit.)

First off Jenny, the owner, is absolutely amazing. She will make you feel awesome, beautiful, and will totally brighten your day every time you go into her shop. She has a killer selection of anything a girl wants or needs to be FAB! Fancy things, casual things, accessories, purses, etc., all of it, AWESOME! Don’t walk past her store without stopping in!

The store front windows are always intriguing. They do carry some really cute clothes, but they are well out of my price range. Even when they had 50% off all summer styles, still too pricey.
They had a lovely selection of jewelry, a lot of options for the varying customers taste. I especially like that they have unique pieces… A Berlin bear charm, cute little vintage ladies brooches, lots of earrings.
They have a few items for babies in the back, would be unique shower gifts.
The workers have always been nice an greeted me when I came in.

This is a great place to go locally for wonderful unique gifts! The owner is friendly and really helps you when you come to the store. Great place– wonderful items! I will be back!

I love this place. My kids love this place. I adore the people that work here and the investment that this business has made in our community. I can not say enough good things about shopping at Glam to Go!
The items are all beautiful… and I have made purchases here that I have used (and will use) for many years to come. I love my purse. I love my scarf. I love the very cool eclectic necklace that I didn’t actually really need… but I get 9 million complements on it every time I wear it. Thanks so much!
The store has grown over the years and I am so happy to see it do so. There are great selections on gifts for so many price ranges. I am also always so happy to see a business put back and involve itself with the community. Jen is committed to helping our area grow and I am so excited that I can shop here and support her and her family with that mission!
Check it out– it is a very fun place to shop!

Love the friendly vibe and always feel welcome. Don’t always find what works for me but lots of unique options.

Went to Glam for a last minute bridal shower outfit and had an awesome time! The woman working that night, Andrea, was amazing! She helped me and was genuinely interested in finding out what my style was so she could pick from their unique collection. I ended up with a super cute dress that I’m sure I couldn’t find anywhere else. The woman was so funny and we had great conversation while I milled around. Definitely will be visiting Glam to Go again. If you’re looking for a unique outfit or quirky yet beautiful accessory, this your spot!

I had such a positive experience here, there’s no way I could give it anything but five stars! This is why I love local business. I walked into Glam to Go on a late afternoon, midweek, and was the only person in the shop. The owner (I assume) was absolutely lovely. She got out from behind the counter, asked me what I was looking for, and what my price range was. She showed me a ton of lovely gifts — I was looking for something for a friend — and was clearly very knowledgeable about all the designers and artists. It was the kind of store that makes me wish I had infinite cash so I could buy up all the clothes and jewelry and be the trendiest person I know. I got a lovely wallet with a peacock on it for one friend, and a pair of earrings for another. Prices vary but seemed largely reasonable (lots of jewelry in the $ 20 – 30 range but it all seems high-​quality and frequently handmade). There were also delicious smelling soaps and candles, some cute kids toys, and tons of random accessories that I suddenly began to crave. Also they have a turn-​around rack of fun cards — more expensive than CVS or Hallmark, but WAY better.
They take the Belly card, if you have one of those. The owner took a long time to wrap up the gifts nicely for me. She had a super-​cool, low-​key vibe, and I felt comfortable browsing as long as I wanted.
I’m going to tell my boyfriend to buy me presents from here in the future, not only because everything is so cute but also because this is a store that deserves our business. Great customer service and a fun shopping experience. I will definitely be back, hopefully with regularity!

I really love this store. It’s one of those rare gems that makes a quick visit seem like a treasure hunt. There are always no less than a half dozen things that qualify for my mental wish list. You can tell that the owner puts a lot of care into finding cool vendors and unusual little treats. There is always a huge selection of awesome little purses and earrings and birthday cards and… and…and. I could go on and on.
Selection aside, I also appreciate the unobtrusive but warm, friendly vibe of the staff. The sum total of the appeal this place has lies in the fact that the owner and staff are all just really cool people selling cool stuff. Love.
This place is the shop of choice anytime I need a reasonably priced, super-​cool gift for my mom, niece, or any female friends. It’s a winner by a country mile.

It’s hard to write this review without sounding like I am exaggerating but Jenny, the owner, is one of the nicest people alive. She is just so inviting and full of cheer, she makes everyone happy. If you are having a bad day and need to buy yourself something, Glam To Go is your perfect place! Because I live close, many birthday, wedding, etc gifts have come from Glam To Go.
They carry a little of everything fun. Clothing and accessories, bags and purses, jewelery, candles and soaps, perfume (make you own), artwork and cards, and some baby toys and clothing. You can find a gift at just about any price point.
They also carry a very unique collection of Japanese stationary and mascots. Hard to find items.

Do not buy the greeting cards! I bought a couple pretty cards here along with some jewelry and they ended up being about 15 bucks a piece!
If the prices were listed by or on the cards I would’ve never bought them but maybe an extra couple pieces of jewelry! It would have been nice if the person told me how much they were as she rang me up! It felt a little deceptive, especailly after I told her I was trying to be conservative with my shopping and spending habits…
I was going to go return them but didn’t want the awkward hassle.
Other than that. I like the jewelry here and accessories. Some of the clothes are overpriced but all around it has cute, unique gifts!

This is my favorite boutique in Chicago.
They sell a variety of giftables, bags, clothing and jewelry at reasonable prices. This place definitely wont break the bank… unless you want it to. Because they also carry some pricier items for those days when you’re feeling a bit saucier.
I love stopping in just to look, the ultra-​nice associates make you feel welcome just to look, no pressure.
Next time you’re in Roscoe Village, be sure to stop in!

There was a big selection for jewelry and they had some purses and clutches to choose from.
Prices were very reasonable and the sales associates are very nice.
Great place for accessories and unique gifts. They even have a small section for babies/​kids.

while I have never bought anything at all here… my fiancé loves it (and she doesn’t have a Unilocal account).
I like that the last time I was there I got to eat a bunch of cheese, prosciutto, and nuts. I don’t care who you are, that makes being stuck in a boutique while the lady shops an okay experience.

Is it possible to feel a bond with a proprietor after one visit to her store?
Yes, it is.
I want the owner of GTG to be my cool older sister /​aunt /​godmother — she’s seriously that awesome. I’m not the only one who feels that way either — while I browsed three different «locals» came to chat.
Her store is awesome as well — full to the brim with cute clothes, jewelry, and accessories. Everything was gorgeous; there wasn’t an item in the store I wouldn’t want to call my own.

I saw this girl wearing a gorgeous teal wrap-​dress and was consumed with jealousy. The kind that makes you go up all raging id and beg, plead until you find out where she bought the dress so you can go and get one EXACTLY LIKE IT and be her third-​grade «twin» but with better shoes.
I want it, I want it, I want it now.
It was found here. Or maybe I should say the spectacular staff found it for me to silence my jabbering. I look fantastic. I also bought some really fun jewelry, cards and maybe tried on half the store. GO!

This is a great little shop with a truly unique inventory. Glam To Go is a must stop if you’re in the market for a gift.
Is she quirky? They’ve got cute little Japanese notecards.
Is she glamorous? They’ve got beautiful and unique jewelry.
If you’re like me, you’ll end up with a gift for yourself, too!
