The ladies of W.I.R.L. ventured over to downtown Glen Ellyn, Illinois for an afternoon of shopping and eating! Dining at A Toda Madre (tapas-style Mexican restaurant) was such a highlight. Victoria & Gabriella recommend their trio of guacamole (including one topped with fruit!) & trio of salsas. When you order tacos, they come 2 per order, so perfect for sharing & sampling! Gabriella's favorite is their ahi tuna tostada - she legit dreams about it. The gals stopped in at M&'Em's Boutique/Meredith Jayne which has clothing, home décor, and specialty gifts. Of course a stop at Good Roots was on the docket! This is a women-owned business W.I.R.L. has highlighted before and it's worth the trip to Glen Ellyn alone just to visit this moody, inspiring, welcoming storefront. Pick up a plant (& name it), a Turkish textile, or a uniquely scented candle. The Bookstore of Glen Ellyn was celebrating 'Small Town Bookstore Day' and the ladies each entered the contest. Tune in around 9:55 to see who won! Another store the ladies visited was Gather & Collect. Gather & Collect is a premier vintage and collectibles shop offering beautifully re-purposed furnishings, gifts, novelties, and more. So many unique finds inside this store - you could spend a day alone looking at everything! You are sure to find something for yourself or someone special in your life here. Victoria chatted with the owner, Julie, for quite some time which only added to a wonderful shopping experience here.Obviously this is just a sampling of what downtown Glen Ellyn offers. Take a day trip in from the city or drive on over and let W.I.R.L. know what your experience is like!
