Stella, complete with a entirely new look and a bounty of fresh merchandise, celebrated its 10-year anniversary on March 15 with a fantastic after-hours party.

Stella owner Rachel Hershinow helps a customer at her grand-opening event.

We want to thank all our customers who came out for the event and who continue to support our independently owned boutique.

If you missed the bash, there are pictures of the fun at racked.com, which had this to say about Stella:

“Any boutique that has the panache and the merchandise to keep their customers happy for ten years deserves a standing ovation and acknowledgment that they’re serving the fashionable community a service by being in business.”

Thanks for the coverage, racked.com! If you haven’t seen the new Stella, there’s never been a better time to stop in, take a look and get ready for the warmer months ahead.

Anyone who has been to Central Street in Evanston knows about this fabulous little store called Stella.

And, now, it’s in print.

Time Out Chicago took a stroll down Central Street and featured several of the eclectic stores the thoroughfare has to offer.

Only five merchants were mentioned and, of course, Stella was one of those highlighted.
