It was just a simple calculation in my head because of the El Paseo location and it being not too far from the all-out MAGA Patriot Store. The 'pretty things inside' sidewalk sign caught my attention today and I ventured in with the lowest of expectations. Turns out, my assumptions were way off; the shop has a beautiful aesthetic with thoughtfully curated clothing that captures the L.A. cool vibe that I remember well when I lived there. The clothes are priced appropriately for their quality, to be sure. They are not expensive per se, but you are getting top notch quality for the money. A sweatshirt may be $200 bucks but it is likely the softest one you'll ever own. I loved how the clothes had such a luxe, soft touch to them. There were some summery white clothes that were chic but I don't know how you could wear underwear underneath them that doesn't show, but that's not my concern. I was greeted when I walked in, checked on while shopping in a friendly way, and not stalked which I also appreciated. I ventured upstairs to the home goods department (I think she said) and found lots of mystical items and books that I was fascinated with. I don't hold any beliefs on tarot, astrology and the like, but I found this display charming and I picked up a few 'starter kits' just for fun. Checkout was pleasant and my purchases were wrapped in tissue and placed in a lovely bag. After my visit I scanned through some of the Yelp reviews and was surprised to see someone complaining about the customer service or that they had to ask for a bag or whatever. And that they didn't know you could only exchange for a store credit - Girl, there is a sign right there next to the payment machine. I'll be back for sure and would highly recommend Blonde to all blondes, brunettes, redheads and ravenhaired.

I had some pieces made by him that I initially felt really good about, but after receiving them and…read morespeaking with other jewelers, I've realized that I was really taken advantage of when it came to the price I was quoted. I ultimately went forward with it because of how important and meaningful these pieces were to me, but I've since learned that what I paid was extremely high considering how basic and straightforward the custom pieces were. It's honestly really upsetting because I left feeling good about the experience at first, but now I feel like that feeling has been completely tainted. It's taken away from some of the excitement and meaning these pieces had for me, and now I just feel kind of yucky about the whole thing. It really sucks to spend that much money on something so meaningful and end up feeling this way afterward.

Prices are very reasonable - earrings roughly $6-$13 and necklaces $10-$15. Most of the pieces are either glass or plastic - the glass ones look nicer (not as much of a cheap feeling). Only thing that would make this store better is if the quality were a little better, but I guess you get what you pay for?

I found a couple things I would come back for, but had just shopped and spent a lot so I was only looking. As I was leaving, I complimented Mary for greeting me warmly. I expected her to say "thank you" and then I would leave. But she started chatting which lead to her telling me about her art and jewelry. And I also asked if the owner was hiring. I must say it went downhill from there. I suspect Mary was just protecting her job which is obviously very important to her. I will be back another day!

After calling…read moreout several times with no response, a woman eventually came from the back wearing what looked like an ugly costume-style hat. Her demeanor was unfriendly from the start no greeting, no smile, and she looked me over with a slight frown. When I asked about the Arrata brand, she told me they no longer carry it, then directed me to the back area and said the items there were 50% off and that I could check the rack in case something was there. After spending about ten minutes searching, I found an item. At that point she changed her story and said the price on the tag was not 50% off and that it was full price. This was completely different from what she originally told me. My family and I have shopped here before, so this experience was disappointing and unprofessional. I came specifically to purchase a Mother's Day gift, and the lack of courtesy, clarity, and consistency made the visit unnecessarily frustrating. She blew it Lulu, we will never come back and we will pass the word along. Be nice to everyone afterall we keep the rent paid.
