T
his time of year
when stores are
bustling with
more activitythan usual, no
one holds back. Deco-
rations abound; shop-
ping often becomes
entertainment with
wine and appetizers.
Visiting small retailers
can feel like a friendly
party.
As a business owner,
I loved the holiday
preparation and order
taking. I even loved thelonger hours. It was a time of year
that we saw customers return for
their holiday favorites, and it was
always full of friendly reunions.
How are you and your kids do-
ing? Youve gotten so much
taller. Im so glad to hear you
all are doing so well. It made the
business of having a small busi-
ness feel very much like family.
And thats the thing isnt it? Small
business owners treat you like
family. They become part of your
family. Small business owners are
there on our wedding days, birth-
days and christenings,
and annually for our
holiday seasons. And it
is this time of year that,as a shopper, I get to go
back and say thank you
to these folks by getting
gifts at their stores. As
a retail junky, commit-
ted to this community,
its like a double dip
of holiday fun. I get to
purchase fun things
for family and friends
that I love, and I get to
support the shops that I
love in the process.Opportunities to find just that
perfect item are plentiful. This
year, when perusing local stores
for holiday gift items, I kept family
and fun in mind. I hope you enjoy
the items Ive selected.
And this year, when you are
out finding those perfect items
elegant and campy alike by all
means, learn some first names.
Introduce yourself to our owner
celebrities. They want to get to
know you too. You might just find
out that one or two of them are
your neighbors.
Happy holiday shopping

The Glamour of the
Holidays! This special
time of year: the fes-
tive season is chock
full of celebrations
with friends, family and
colleagues. Wondering what
to wear? I have an insiders
list to help you look stunning
for every occasion. This is
your chance to bust out some
sequins and shiny stuff !This leads me to my style
tip for the week: gorgeous
separates, dresses and more
for the holidays and beyond
from Sanems boutique,134
N. Oak Park Ave. Here we find a
one-stop shopping extravaganza with
gorgeous and outspoken shop owner,
Sanem and her lovely Mother Insel,
who will tirelessly assemble the perfect
outfit just for you! Of Turkish and
French decent, Sanem was influenced
by her glamourous maternal grand-
mother during summer trips to Turkey.
Her love of fashion and a desire to to
help women feel and look their best,
brought her to open this amazing shop
in August, 2010.
Roundup of dazzling outfits: from Eva
Khurshid, a color that looks good on ev-
eryone: teal, silk blouse ($128) and navy/
black leopard print pencil skirt ($128).
Topped with a suit jacket for daytime,
this outfit morphs easily to night-
time with a pair of glittery ear-rings from Chicago designer,
Kristin Amato ($48). For
a dramatic look, day
or night: grey knit,
Amour Vert dress
($118) paired with my
favorite and very
Chanel item in the
store: Sao Paulo
black boucle jacket
($168). If Santa is
smart enough to
fetch me this jacketfor Christmas, I
will wear it every-
day with jeans and
boots!
Love the boyfriend sequin
top from 213 with a per-
fect pair of black leggings
with leather piping ($78). I
seriously want the magenta
Central park west racer
back top, that floats atop
those leggings; throw on the
Sao Paulo cardigan with lace
sleeves ($78) and pendant
necklace ($52). What a great
hostess outfit. What aboutthe batwing Sanctuary lace
top ($94) layered over Only
Hearts metallic tank ($68) and
matching feather Serafina
necklace ($65)?
I could spend all day in this boutique
- but I have to wrap it up with one more
outfit: gray sequin pilates tank top by Pa-
pillon Blanc ($138) and cascading jacket
from Gracia ($98). Put these together
with a long skirt and platform pumps for
a dynamite party look.
Timeless trends are what Sanem
brings. Each item is beautiful, every
bit worthy of a gift for a loved one, and
for oneself, of course. Get in there this
season and discover the Sanem Experi-
ence!

W
hen I received a
Facebook note from
Rockstar Ink letting
me know they werea Toys for Tots loca-
tion, I was impressed this busi-
ness is finding another way to
give back. Weve enjoyed being
able to participate in our com-
munity in this way and wanted
to keep the positive momentum
going, says owner Ax.
Chrome, pictured center, who
has ridden in the Toys for Tots
parade numerous times, had
the idea. Many of the artists at
Rockstar Ink have family mem-bers in the military. Its a fun group, and a
perfect chance to bring the holiday spirit to
the kind of business that typically doesnt
participate in this type of community
giving. But Rockstar Ink isnt your typical
tattoo parlor.
Since Rockstar Ink opened
in 2009 they have participated
as face painting artists for Day
in Our Village. They did free
star tattoos for the Fourth of
July weekend. In October, they
tattooed over 60 folks with
pink ribbons to help raise
breast cancer awareness. This
September, they hosted an
art show and benefit for the
Childrens Heart Foundation
that raised over $2,000 for that
organization.
Ax, the owner of the busi-
ness, remains committed
to being the kind of tattoo
business that knocks down
some of those stereotypes wemight have about this particu-
lar shop category. And shes
doing a fantastic job. When
deciding to open in Oak Park,
Ax says she wanted to be here
because we are an artistic
open-minded community. And
she couldnt be more pleased
with how accommodating the
village staff and residents
have been. When passing out
Toys for Tots flyers to area
businesses, Ax said she metmany new folks across an
entire spectrum, all of whom were excited
to spread the word.
Before this past Tuesday, I had never
walked into a tattoo parlor. I was fully
impressed. Ax walked me through the
precautions and procedures they take to
make sure everyone is safe. And they have
designed their space to ensure privacy and
comfort for their clients.
At Rockstar Ink, 90 percent of all the
work they do is custom. And its true
artistry. You can see much of their work
on their Facebook page. The team is really
good about keeping this social
network up to date.
These tattoo artists are mak-
ing Oak Park their home bybeing involved and active here.
As small businesses go, they are
making conscious decisions to
support other small businesses
and those in need. They picked
a location that had been empty
for years, hired contractors who
had been out of work, and built
a business with heart and soul.
This is just the kind of busi-
ness, and the kind of business
owner, I welcome to Oak Park.
You can drop off new andunwrapped toys for girls and boys at Rock-
star Ink, 6549 North Ave, starting now. Ax
wanted to be sure to name Equilibrium,
13aked, and Appleavocado, three other
small businesses who are helping to cross
market the toy drive. Rockstar Ink is open
everyday but Tuesday, at 2pm. They are
offering a discount on your tattoos if you
bring in a gift.
Of course you could just bring in a toy.
One more thing: Rockstar Ink makes
my list of awesome spots to purchase gift
certificates. The certificates themselves are
custom designed too. Its a most unique gift
for your ink-loving friends.
