After lunch, continue your shopping journey at Maris Parie. This quaint, well-appointed boutique is actually owned by a Parisian (can you guess her name?) who has had an appreciation for fashion and design ever since eyeballing her mom’s costumes when she was a stage actress in France. Don’t worry — you won’t look like a cast member from The Pirates of Penzance by shopping here. Instead, you’ll find a nice selection of feminine clothing, accessories, gifts, and select vintage items. The shop is small, so leave that big purse at home.

Marie Parie, 508 Main Street (between Hinman and Chicago avenues); 847-492-9094.
