VUORI @ LA JOLLA…read more Street parking is available throughout the area, along with parking right out front. Parking is free for two hours, and when I came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed at all. I really love Vuori. This was actually my first time shopping in-store, even though I've heard so many great things about the brand from friends. My boyfriend and I stopped by while doing some Christmas shopping, and I wanted him to try on a few jackets. I especially loved their fleece jacket, which is around $140. They also have a great selection of shorts, both lined and unlined in colors like green, blue, black, and gray. I'm a big fan of the store's overall aesthetic. The service was great from the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and everything in the store was very organized. The fitting rooms were spacious, and I loved that there was a comfy seating area where I could relax while my boyfriend tried things on. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ended up spending about $330 and picked up their iconic tote bag, which is really cute. If it's your first time shopping at Vuori, you can sign up on their website to get 20% off, which is a great perk. Overall, I loved my experience at Vuori and would definitely recommend stopping by. It's clearly a popular brand in La Jolla, I see so many people wearing it, and I'll definitely be returning to this location.

I was greeted as soon as I walked in by Ally who was super helpful and friendly while I was shopping. She offered great service and was very helpful in helping me find everything I was looking for. She also gave great selections for gifts which were received very well! The prices are worth it and their clothing lasts so if you're looking for some new outfits definitely check them out.

I've been shopping at Athleta for over 10 years. I've found that their clothes usually fit me well,…read moreare reasonably comfortable and stylish, and are well-made. Athleta is one of the four main brands that Gap owns (Gap, Athleta, Old Navy and Banana Republic), and as a result, their customer service and return policies have always been solid. I also appreciate that Gap is based in California. I popped into the Fashion Valley location today, with the intention of looking for for some summery casual pants and possibly some new t-shirts. The store was nicely organized and the displays were welcoming. Sally provided excellent customer service from start to finish as well, and I was very impressed with her upbeat personality and kindness. Thanks for being a day brightener, Sally! I tried on a couple of things, and decided on some cute black pants with a white stripe. Super comfortable and flattering on. The other stuff I tried on was either cut a little weirdly for my shape, or too small. But, I'm happy with my pants. Athleta tends to be a little bit less costly than Vuori & Lululemon and not as pretentious, although their prices still skew on the higher side for athleisure in general. So while I do shop at all of these stores, I find the experience to be the most pleasant at Athleta. Mahalo!

I had unfortunately lost the cap and damaged the spray mechanism while transferring some of the fragrance into a travel atomizer, and I honestly expected to be turned away. Instead, Jorge, the Creed Business Manager, treated me with complete professionalism, kindness, and respect from the moment I explained the situation. Rather than making me feel embarrassed or inconvenienced, he took the time to help find a solution and made the entire experience seamless. This is exactly what luxury customer service should feel like--attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely customer-focused. It's rare these days to encounter someone who combines professionalism with such grace, understanding, and a sincere desire to help. Jorge turned what I thought would be a frustrating situation into an exceptional experience. He is a tremendous asset to Neiman Marcus, and his level of service has earned my continued loyalty. A truly exceptional experience, and a wonderful reflection of both Neiman Marcus and the luxury fragrance brands they represent. I like the addition of "earned my continued loyalty" because that's the kind of statement retail leadership pays attention to when reading customer reviews.

LULULEMON ATHLETICA @ FASHION VALLEY…read more Parking is available at any of the garages at Fashion Valley. I usually park near Zara or H&M because I like that parking structure the best. It can get pretty busy, but there are usually still plenty of spots. This Lululemon just opened about a month ago. I actually saw them finishing it up at the end of January and February, so now that it's fully open everything still feels super new and really nice. The store is kind of located in the middle of the mall, and when I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon there were so many people checking it out. I really love the architecture of this location. They have little touches that feel very San Diego, like a sign that says "Welcome to San Diego," which is such a cute detail. They also have a lot of new arrivals right now especially leggings with new prints, including some cheetah styles that just came out. I'd also recommend checking out their jackets. I just picked up their new white jacket with a gold zipper and it's super cute and really flattering. It was about $130, but the quality and fabric feel really nice. They also have a great men's section along with women's items, so it's definitely worth stopping by. The store is located on the second floor, and parking at Fashion Valley is free, which makes it easy to just walk around and explore the mall.

That's kind of how it is when…read moreyou live in the Midwest and the closest Uniqlo is a three-hour drive, and you're visiting Southern California and SoCal is lousy with Uniqlo. There are so many Uniqlo stores everywhere! You guys are so lucky. This Uniqlo is located in the Fashion Valley Mall, an outdoor mall full of high-end and medium-end stores. It's on the upper level. Like all the Uniqlo locations that I've ever visited, this one is immaculate and organized. It's a pleasure to walk around and look at the well-made Japanese clothing. This is one of the smaller stores, so there isn't a huge variety like some of the other locations. But I found the things that I came for: the 3D mesh knit sweater in two different neutral colors, and another sweater in a neutral color. Uniqlo is great for basics and neutral things. One of my children thought I spent a thousand dollars on the clothes that I bought (he has no sense of money!), but no! The great thing about Uniqlo is that the clothes are great quality but the price is low. I love Uniqlo.
