    ALO @ FASHION VALLEY Parking is available in any of their garages for free. I'd highly recommend parking near the trolley station and crossing the bridge. Stepping into this Alo, there was a security guard that greeted us as well as a couple people from the front. I was looking around and found a perfect pair of shorts that I could get for my boyfriend. I then decided that I wanted to get these black shorts however they didn't have a size large. They only had other sizes instead. I asked this guy if he had a large by any chance in the back and he said that he would check on it after like 10 minutes of me just standing there. He comes back to tell me that they have it in the back and that they'll bring it out and I was like OK sounds great. A couple more minutes goes by and I can clearly see the guy in the back just folding clothes and I don't know who's coming out to bring the shorts for me so that's when I kinda realize that I don't know if anyone would come out in the next couple minutes. The customer service just wasn't that great just making me stand there and wait after like 15 minutes of just going back-and-forth. It was a waste of time, I feel like the staff could of restocked the shorts too, there was only 4 left on the pile, seems like a popular pair of shorts, yet there wasn't any other sizes besides an XL, but had many in the back. Overall, I would maybe try another location but I felt like this spot and service was way too slow. Alo is more on the higher end, so the value is expensive but seems like good quality.

    I'm writing this on behalf of my best friend who is there to purchase a pair of athletic shorts for her boyfriend. They did not have the size she wanted on the floor and she asked an employee if they could check in the back to see if the size was there. He told her that someone else would come out and let her know as soon as possible. After waiting about five minutes, a female employee came out and told her that they do have the size and the original guy would assist her with finding it and giving it to her. We waited about 10 minutes and shopped around a little while we were waiting. After waiting for a while, we decided to go check the back to see what was going on. We find the original worker folding clothes in the back immediately when he saw us he said I'm working on that. Another five minutes goes by and we've probably been in the store for a good 20 minutes and we decide to leave. It didn't feel like we were getting helped and especially seeing the worker folding clothes instead of tending to the customers was kind of a turn off. Right when he saw us turn around to leave, I could see him peeking through a plant that was in between the back area and the main floor. He didn't say anything and we decided to keep walking. Ultimately, end of story, we left and didn't come back inside. Personally, I really like this brand however, this experience here was not positive. I will not be coming back to this location.

    Had a great time at the Alo private shop! Paloma and Azelsa gave great energy and customer service! Can't wait for my next Alo haul

    Horrible manager! I ask the sales associate a question regarding locations in other areas, she was not sure so she asked her manager who happened to be walking by, to which she replied "I don't know...tell them to google it!" Wow! So rude! I spent $220.00 on a bra and a one pair of leggings as a gift. I just needed to know if they could exchange it if it didn't work out. The manager's lack of professionalism was so classless, I won't be back! Also, if this is the attitude she is breeding to her staff, then no wonder the Fashion Valley location has such poor reviews. Hire a new manager!

(I got the 3rd price at a Frida Kahlo look alike contest and one of the prizes was a $25 certificate to purchase something at the Bazaar del Mundo in Old Town). So excited to go back to Old Town with no traffic, not too many tourists and not too many expectations. And then found Ariana. Nice name for a woman and not bad for a store filled with surprise after surprise. If you like colorful and different type of clothes, this is your place. My first thought was that they were mostly catering older ladies, but the pieces are very versatile and several age groups friendly. They all have in common cool colors, pattern and whimsy! I spent a long time in the second floor (where the sales are, trying to maximize those $25!) and tried out wonderful dresses with no pressing, no hassle, all the time of this world. What a pity that everything I liked was either too small or too large, but equally pretty. Eventually I got a very cool tote bag with inspirational messages (by artist Kelly Rae Roberts, coincidentally one of my favorites) that was 50% off plus the cutest pair of socks depicting a very funny (who would say considering she always posed so serious) Frida Kahlo! Prices are touristy but check the upper floor for deals. The ladies working there are amazing, very helpful and have all the time the customer wants. I felt like I was invited to a home party surrounded by beautiful objects with warm women. Only missing thing for me there was a cup of tea and some cookies...I would have stayed even longer. So grateful for this prize and for discovering Adriana. I will come back and check the collection of lavender, purple and fuchsia wallets and also the Mexican silver jewelry. It was a feast for my eyes.

I moved away from San Diego 10 years ago, so I was in SD to spend Christmas with my mom. While in town, I wanted to go to Old Town to pick up my favorite food at one of the restaurants in Old Town, but I thought I'd look around at some of the shops since I've been away for so long. I stopped into the Johnson House and immediately wondered why I had never bought anything there. Everything in there is so fabulous. There was a purse there that was so shiny and pretty, and it kept calling to me: "You want me. Buy me. I'll be your Christmas present. I love you and I know you love me." Well... how could I deny that little purse a forever home? I bought it and used it that very night at a Christmas Eve dinner party. From now on, whenever I visit my mom, I'm going to go to the Johnson house and make a purchase. I can't wait to see what I'm going to buy the next time I'm in San Diego. :) P.S. My mom and I had Christmas buffet at Humphreys on 12/25 and I put my little purse on our table as a centerpiece. It was so pretty! The best part is that within five minutes, a customer walked past our table and told me that my purse made the perfect centerpiece! And it did! It really did! I LOVE my colorful gem purse. Thank you, Johnson House!

Trinkets, clothes, shoes, plants, music, art etc. The pricing is affordable and fair, and their plant selection is beautiful and properly priced for a boutique style premium selection of plants of very well maintained and cared for. Heck, what you save on buying clothes for $4, splurge on your plant. If I didn't have nearly 100 plants in my own house and own my own plant business, I'd get mine from here. Do know, I'll buy cutesy things for my home and gifts for others.

    I only have two malls i consistently go in San Diego, the Fashion Valley Mall and the UTC Mall…read more However, UTC mall is more of a leisure... to walk around and kill time, for my son to play at the playground, for the festivities on the holiday season especially Xmas, to have family fun dates and good food experiences at nearby restaurants and the mall I always go to every time I have issues with my Apple iPhone and techs. The fashion Valley Mall tho, is my main mall. This is the mall where I actually do most of my shopping. We watch movies at the AMC theater when we have extra time and get food at the cafeteria/food court area after hours of walking. My son never misses going inside the Laderach to get a free taste, the best chocolate there is. We love going to this mall, especially with my son now being a teenager, we would most likely be doing lots of our shopping activities here especially at his favorite boutiques, like the zumies, Hollister, Rayban, and plenty others I do not recall.... We also love going to The escape room where the mall is. My favorite is the Nordstrom Rack! ;) The holidays tho could get really packed and busy but there's alot of nice things to see and lots of good deals to look forward to.

    I will never come back to Fashion Valley Mall again…read more I was very disappointed with my experience. The mall itself has great stores, but what stood out to me was the number of homeless individuals throughout property. As a shopper, I did not feel comfortable walking around the mall. My two young kids were very uncomfortable, I have to move them from the food court and sit and eat elsewhere. For a high-end shopping destination, I expected a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming environment. Management needs to do a better job maintaining the property and ensuring guests feel comfortable while shopping. Unfortunately, this experience was enough that I won't be returning.
