Yesterday I attended a fashion week SD event hosted by Thread + Seed and La Plaza La Jolla. It was…read moremy first time in the store so I wandered through. So many great dresses, shoes, accessories and summery items. The prices were reasonable and the staff was helpful and friendly despite being very busy. Looking them up on Yelp, I see they have a few locations. I used to live at wind n sea and I wish this store was there when I did. I'll definitely come back when I need an outfit for an event or just to peruse.

Amore is a French-inspired boutique boasting a slight air of snobbery. All the sales girls seem to…read morehave foreign accents and are beautiful and perfect in every way. If you can get past all that and make your way to the back wall where the 50 percent sale items are hanging, you'll be alright. However, half off in this case means instead of $300, it's $150. If their stuff wasn't so damn cute, I'd give them one star for their absurd prices, but I've been told by my best friend, the fashion expert living in London, that $300 is actually cheap for quality, boutique-style clothing.

Nikole, the manager, is wonderful; she knows my style and always helps me find what I like. She's also honest about what she likes on me.

Thank you Nikole and the Sunny Days team

What stood out most the level of service, I felt completely unrushed and the staff was knowledgeable, attentive and very professional. The selection is refined and thoughtfully curated, offering pieces that feel both elevated and timeless. I purchased a couple of tops, a jacket and a necklace. The staff took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, offering genuine guidance throughout. This has become my go-to place whenever I'm in La Jolla.

I feel so satisfied when I go into the store. They're always wonderful ideas that I walk away with, and something for every budget. I'm still considering one of the Buddhas from my recent visit. Gracie welcome every customer. I also will ship - So don't be shy to go shopping here on your holiday. And when you are sauntering around La Jolla, be sure to enjoy this nature filled inspiring yet serene shop. It's more of an experience than just a shop. PS regarding photos: some items are made by artists who want their pieces not to be photographed. Thus while there are many photos of this deliciously gorgeous store, there are times that you will not see here and to kindly be mindful when inside if taking photos.

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.

Hello May!! Came to…read moreFashion Valley on what must've been an off Sunday because...where was everybody? I hadn't been here in years, fully prepared to fight for parking, but jokes on me. Endless spots to park! That's a first! Are malls dead now? How are stores surviving? Anywhoo, I still spent more than planned. Damn you, Sephora! Pros: *Surprisingly easy parking (a rare mall miracle) *Huge mix of stores from bougie to budget - Louis Vuitton, Coach, Hollister, Macy's, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, H&M, Zara, and Gucci to name a few *Open-air vibe with palm trees; very San Diego aesthetic with a tropical feel; complete with fountains and artistic landscaping *Solid food options with a food court, cafes, and kiosks, Cheesecake Factory, Seasons 52, and my fav, True Food Kitchen *Clean and well-maintained and easy to wander around *There's a lot of variety here to keep you entertained *They have seasonal events that is a nice addition to shopping Cons: *Felt oddly empty for a Sunday..kinda eerie but it may be an introvert paradise *Dangerous for your wallet (you will overspend) *Some stores seem like they're hanging on by a thread *Malls just don't hit like they used to despite the pros- mainly because everything has gone up! Shopping isn't as enjoyable when things cost an arm and a leg. Overall: 3.5 Stars - Still one of the nicer malls around if you're in the mood to stroll, shop, and accidentally blow your budget (Guilty!). Would I come back? Only if my bank account approves!
