As we all know, maxi skirts are this year's yoga pants & this store is a convenient means to this suburban mom wardrobe staple. While all the boutiques in Carmel Valley seem to carry the same skirts (and they are less expensive elsewhere by a couple bucks), it seems to me that Jacques LeLong has a larger variety of colors and patterns and more shirts to match. The clothes themselves are not keepers for the long haul, but pieces to wear for the season & then discard when they get all pilled up and mangy looking. For this price point, it's not about quality, but about trend. That being said, however, there is a lot of great outfits here and cute accessories. There are a lot of cotton basics, some denim, and a lot of summer dresses.
The saleslady who helped us the other night was very helpful and friendly, she also had a good eye for mixing and matching items for the right look. And as a plus, didn't try to up-sell.
Since Pure Bliss left a couple years ago, Torrey Hills has been in dire need of a new boutique. This isn't the same, but I will shop here again. read more
