Our Magical Story..

OUR FAIRYTALE BEGINS….

Founded in 2007, BabyDolls Boutique is a one-of-a-kind shop specializing in items for women and young children, especially babies!

Located on Chicago’s trendy Southport Corridor in the Lakeview neighborhood, customers will find custom-made children’s clothing, as well as on-trend accessories and jewelry for adults. Jewelry and accessories include day-to-day wear and also special pieces adorned with real crystals and gemstones. If there’s nothing that catches your eye at the store, we do cater to custom orders, so just let us know!  At the Boutique, you can feel confident shopping locally for unique items made by Chicago’s very best artisans.

We carry our very own clothing lines for children including our own label, pink & blue are the new black. , which features hand-appliquéd designs on premium fabrics at affordable prices.

BabyDolls is proud to have loyal customers (of all sizes!) from around the world, and we do not take that for granted! To help us give back to the community, we established “the itty bitty project”  The itty bitty project is a foundation which supports the work of the finest neo-natal intensive care units in U.S. hospitals. A portion of proceeds from pink & blue sales is set aside to support the work of  these care units.

So, the next time you are shopping for a gift, looking to treat yourself, or find yourself in the neighborhood, stop by BabyDolls and  browse our  unrivaled collection. Vanessa and her team know how important these decisions are to you – because there’s a BabyDoll in each one of us!

Vanessa Rodriguez’s greatest ambition is to have a mini-fashion empire for the world’s most valuable assets, our children.

“My fondest childhood memory is sifting through photographs of me and my sisters, and realizing how much our mother influenced our style. As a little girl, every occasion was an excuse to be dressed in beautiful handmade, custom designed outfits. This is one of the many reasons that pink & blue, my fashion line, is the next chapter of my life. I fell in love with fabrics, colors, and patterns but most of all the designs of the pink & blue line.

Every ruffle and bow is intended to enlighten the life of the little ones that wear it, with hopes that one day you too will smile upon the fond memories of your children’s cutest attire. I take pride in each design. My signature is on every piece.”
