It's a pretty big store with a little bit of everything lots of cute merchandise, souvenirs, and random knickknacks. The staff was super sweet, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The store itself was a really good size and everything was laid out nicely. I also thought the pricing was pretty reasonable, especially for a touristy area. Definitely a cute little place to stop by, especially if you're in the Gaslamp and realize you forgot something or just want to pick up some last-minute souvenirs or knickknacks. Would definitely recommend checking it out!

Don't forget to stop by or feel free to recommend this place to someone from out of town.

I went in and was pleasantly surprised. Both of the ladies working in the store were very very nice, not pushy whatsoever, and helped to find exactly what I needed. A bonus is that I also picked up a really cute green Led Zeppelin tank top. The store has really unique items along with basics that you can mix and match in a lot of outfits. A lot of times at a Boutique everything is super expensive and this store definitely has some pricey stuff (pricey, not expensive b/c there's major value) but the basics are reasonable for downtown San Diego prices. I will definitely be back to browse the next time I'm in the area !

It's relatively similar to what I've been to in other upscale areas, but the quality of the clothing is top notch, which makes it worth the price. They also seem to have some decent sales and a welcome offer online, with an option for shipping or pickup at one of their three locations. I appreciated how patient the associate was with me during my first trip (it was definitely over an hour and I left with four bags haha) but I was able to find the perfect date outfit and restock my closet post move and I have already been back again.

You'll find lots of unique gifts, items to decorate your home, and even jewelry & scents that anyone would love to receive! I had way too much fun looking at every single thing in the store.

He's not only the owner, he's also the creative genius behind everything you see. So if you're looking for something special and don't see it, I'd check with him to see if he can order it.

Now, the old jail cells of that old police station are a tourist attraction. Also, there are many restaurants and shops to visit here. This at the entrance of Seaport Village, and you can't miss it. There is live music at most of the restaurants here in this square. There is also an annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony with the boys choir and the Hillcrest Men's Choir annually. I enjoy this place as a local. Parking can be challenging. They do have a valet service, meters across the streets, and also Seaport Village lots for guests. It is a great opportunity to walk and enjoy the scenery when you come here.
