Shopping in Warrenville

Founded by Dena Ferrell Nance, whats-in-store has been slinging fashion-forward jewelry and accessories since 2001. The signature Etched Collection is designed in-house and lasered out of recycled sheet metals. Hundreds of jewelry items, such as earrings, bracelets, rings, and brooches, are available to spice up wardrobes and earlobes of both men and women. Headbands ($35) keep hair hats trim and proper, and scarves (starting at $10) add a dash of neck flair without resorting to cumbersome sandstone-sundial necklaces. Handbags (starting at $40) can conveniently tote bricks to use to pin down gas pedals when faking deaths via cliff-diving runaway cars.

Husband-and-wife duo Mike and Heather drift among the electric-pink tables of It's a Bling Thing, dispensing knowledge about the necklaces, bracelets, rings, and accessories that shimmer in long rows. Beyond a rose-hued awning, walls lined with colorful clutches, rings, and wrist cuffs encircle the gleefully crowded shop and engross eyes like a staring contest with a ping-pong ball. Spotlights and a serpentine chandelier pour cascades of blue, pink, and white incandescence and lure shimmering highlights across gems and rainbow beads. The owners, a retired police officer and a schoolteacher, host after-hours shindigs that benefit charitable causes. Partygoers prance across the hardwood floors noshing on refreshments, uninterrupted by crowds of customers or arias announcing the number of hours until closing.
