Who We Are

Welcome to Styles & Smiles! I'm Marina, the co-owner and Chief Fashion Officer (the fun kind of CFO). Our boutique, nestled in Chicago’s north shore and online, offers a handpicked selection of elegant, high-quality fashion and accessories. Alongside my husband (the other CFO), we aim to bring joy to your shopping experience with unique finds from independent brands around the world and personalized service to make you smile.

Our Story

The idea for Styles & Smiles began during one of our birthday traditions. While my husband immersed himself in his favorite bookstore, I went on a shopping hunt—only to be disappointed by the lack of special, joyful finds. That day, I sketched out a vision for the perfect boutique—a place where shopping feels magical again. After sharing the idea with my husband, we combined our skills to bring Styles & Smiles to life, with a little help from our four kids, who even came up with the name!

Why Butterflies?

Butterflies symbolize everything we love—delicate, elegant, and transformative. They bring beauty and joy, just like we hope your experience at Styles & Smiles will.
