Notice the difference, great new finds every day.

Notice

Welcome to Notice Step into Notice and you'll notice something right away — this isn't your average boutique. We're a family-run shop with two cozy locations in Glenview and Evanston, and we've spent generations getting really, really good at finding the good stuff. Think gorgeous women's apparel that actually makes you feel like you, accessories and jewelry that turn "just running errands" into "look at you," and gifts so good you'll want to buy two — one for them, one for you. (We won't judge. We do it too.) A Family Affair Notice has been passed down through our family with so much love (and, let's be honest, a few friendly arguments over what makes the cut). Every generation has added its own eye, its own taste, its own little bit of magic — which is exactly why our shelves never feel boring. We're always hunting for the next thing you didn't know you needed until you saw it in our window. Curated, Not Crowded We don't believe in filling our racks just to fill them. Every single piece — from a statement necklace to the softest sweater you'll ever own to a card that says exactly what you're thinking — is chosen on purpose. If it's at Notice, it's because someone on our team fell in love with it first. The People Who Make It Fun Our staff is, hands down, the best part of Notice. They remember your birthday, your daughter's wedding, and that you "kind of" need a new pair of earrings (you do). Come in for five minutes and leave an hour later with a new favorite outfit and a few new friends. Visit Us Find us in Glenview and Evanston — two shops, one family, endless good finds. Come say hi. We promise you'll notice the difference.

Two College-wide lectures are associated with this series: <a href="https://advancement.lakeforest.edu/register/WorldNeedsLeaders" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“The World Needs Leaders” with former U.S. Ambassador Jeff Flake</a> on September 23 and <a href="https://advancement.lakeforest.edu/register/?id=8935bb79-f62f-4326-bd92-0c1a4c32f0c4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“MLK and the Voting Rights Act” with Pulitzer Prize winning author Jonathan Eig</a> on September 28. All course participants are invited to attend as part of this series.
Held at the newly renovated Glen Rowan House, this series explores both the constraints on democracy—such as recent democratic backsliding, the Constitution’s roadblocks on majority rule, and the weakening of voting rights to name a few—and strategies to overcome them and enhance democracy in America.
