THESE TWO SISTERS SHARE A LOVE FOR FASHION AND NEW TRENDS AT THEIR GLEN ELLYN SHOP, BLONDE BOUTIQUE
WHEATON/GLEN ELLYN/ELMHURST–Natalie graduated with a degree in fashion merchandise and tapped into her hands-on experiences to catapult the dream shared with her sister, Allison, for owning a business together.
Their love for fashion and new trends prompted the opening of Blonde Boutique in Glen Ellyn in June 2017, now located at 498 Crescent Blvd.
“The larger space allows us to showcase our extensive collection and create a memorable shopping experience for our customers, of all ages,” Natalie says. “We carry the latest summer trends - dresses of all types, tons of floral prints, many textures, gauze, lace, and the perfect blends of trendy yet timeless styles from brights to neutrals, cropped to oversized.”
These two busy moms with four (4) kids combined love SETs for the summer - basically, any top and bottom with an exact match, and pairing the outfit with cute sneakers.
“We have created a fashion haven that encapsulates our Scandinavian heritage (hints the word blonde) and love for timeless style,” Natalie adds.
Always putting family first, Natalie and Allison emit style, elegance, and loyalty and enjoy supporting their favorite local places like, A Toda Madre, Fire and Wine, Maize and Mash, KOZE, Rise, Train and shopping together at Good Roots and Enchantments.
