I really enjoy shopping at Krista K and make a point to stop in when I am in the neighborhood.

There is an entire floor that is dedicated to maternity and baby gear.  I was able to get a super-cute present for a new Mom there. They are, however, opening another store soon dedicated to maternity and baby gear.

I went here because I knew from their website that they carried a brand I was looking for. I wasn't too excited, as I was worried that the sales staff would be super snotty based on previous reviews here on Yelp. To top it off, I was dressed in workout clothes and looking pretty scrubby. I walked in and was greeted by the two sales clerks. I did get a once over, but overall they were very friendly and helped me find what I was looking for. They weren't pushy, either. But what was really amazing about Krista K. was the clothes! I wanted to take home each and every piece. Great handbag selection also: Rebecca Minkoff, Treesje, and Foley + Corinna.  I would definitely come back just to oogle all the pretty clothes I can't really afford.

By far my favorite boutique in chicago. The staff is so friendly, have always treated me kindly and have never ever been snobby or rude. My mom and I like to come here several times a year for unique pieces, and this place always delivers. The downstairs is more casual, w/jeans and other lines, upstairs is more high end. They carry a lot of one of a kind lines, as well as some more common ones, but seem to stock pieces that you dont see in other stores. Krista is on the pricier end, but if you're looking for unique pieces, its the place to go.

Yes, they have beautiful clothes, some of which I would buy if the people who worked in there were not so freaking snooty.  It pays to treat all customers well because you never know who has some money to drop and lots of friends to send their way.  Their loss.

Blech.  I can't even think of an articulate word to describe the unpleasant experience and memory of this place - I have to settle for a sound.  I am fairly confident I did not show up wearing trash bags and that there isn't anything (immediately) wrong with me or my friend that I came here with... it makes me wonder how people had such great experience with the sales staff here.  Should I feel left out?

The last time I was here, there weren't enough people inside for it to be so busy that the saleswoman had to be a snot.  But she was.  She just had an attitude like she couldn't be bothered with questions and treated us like we were inconsequential and certainly not there to spend money.  So we did ourselves a favor and left.  I love boutiques and when there are so many options to get the same merchandise at any of the other great boutiques in Chicago AND online, I certainly wouldn't waste any more time and money on a place that employs stuck-up saleswomen.

I gave them one star because they have a pretty sign.  See, it wasn't all negative.

Krista K has a great selection of jeans. But they only carry 1-2 sizes per style, so go early and often to get the latest and greatest. This spot also has REALLY good sales.  I agree with Sydney K. - the staff is great. I was very impressed to see Krista working the floor with the rest of her employees...7 months pregnant at the time, too!

I love Krista K!  Going there is like shopping with your friends.  What I especially like is the 20% off you get on your birthday purchase - you always need to buy a gift for yourself.   I just went there for a great sale - True Religion jeans on sale for $110 - what a bargain!

I hate this place.  I've gone in numerous times and the sales staff is straight-up awful.  You would think you would have walked into a select boutique downtown, but no, you're on Southport.  I'm going to Jake down the street where the selection might be a little less diverse, but the staff MUCH nicer.

These are the nicest shopgirls in Chicago. I've never had anything but a great experience here, even when I leave empty-handed, which is rare. As more upscale boutiques pop up around Chicago, their selection is less exciting, but the experience is still worth making a stop.

Krista K Boutique is a small little shop that is big on style, perfect for any stylish girl. Clothing of amazing craftsmanship can be found in both exotic and subtle styles as well as in a wide array of colors and designs. The items will appeal to even the pickiest shopper. You will definitely find something to fit you in every aspect of your style and couture. In addition to all the other great items, pumps can be found for what ever function you may need them for.

Krista K has some of the coolest jewelry and accessories I have seen.  It features upscale designers so be prepared to drop some cash, but it will be worth it.  They also offer some baby stuff too!

I love this place!

I stopped in here today for the first time after months (well, years, actually) of "meaning to stop by..." GREAT clothes and wonderful staff.  Well-editted selection, feels like a "best-of" collection or a favorites section of Lucky magazine.  Perfect mix of sophisticated and fun.

I love the staff at Krista K. I am always treated very well and they remember me every time I walk through the doors, though I am not a regular. I am not a size zero, in fact I am a double number size, but I can always find plenty of very fashionable things that fit me perfectly. The Manager Heather is full of life and the staff is gorgeous, but amazingly down to earth as well, why would that garner a negative review by anyone.  A very fashion forward store, and I am happy to be a patron.

I'm reviewing the Krista K Boutique - Maternity location. This store is about 2 blocks away from the original boutique and only carries maternity clothing.  Beautiful clothes....but - wow - pricey for something you will only wear for a couple months. I don't mind spending $200 on a jacket if I know I will wear it for a couple years. My only real complaint is that the store is small and the sales staff can be overwhelming. You can't just casually browse here without someone pestering you constantly. Maybe I'm just one of those shoppers who like to be left alone, or maybe I'm just a crappy hormonal pregnant woman?

This is a well-stocked boutique which features a maternity section and baby clothes. They have some great labels such as Catherine Melandrino and lots of cool jewelry and accessories. The staff is great here - warm and friendly but not too overbearing.
