I hadn't been back to Pacific Palisades since the wildfires. When I found out that Palisades…read moreVillage was going to have a grand reopening, it was a good excuse to go back. The first thing that caught my eye were the charred mountains. Next, were buildings being reconstructed everywhere. It was heart wrenching. At the same time, it was hopeful. So many signs around Pacific Palisades are about being resilient. There are also mirrored sculptures that talk about being broken, but still here, still together. The reconstructed Village is elegant, clean, and beautiful. It truly feels like a welcome. You can tell that a great deal of effort was put into making this a celebration. So much was free: parking, food, drinks, postcards, keychain charms, even a lawn chair. There was a surprise jet formation flyby. It was my first time seeing a robotic dog in person. It was so weird. I wish they would put a head on it. It freaked at least one big, fluffy real dog the heck out. It freaked me out a little, too. They had guest speakers like Elyse Walker and Caruso himself, but it was too crowded for me to see anything and at one point the speakers cut out, so I couldn't hear anything either. As a result, most visitors just started chatting with each other. "Did your house burn down?" "Are you rebuilding?" "I'm glad things are starting to look hopeful again." If anything, that's what this reopening represented: Hope, rebirth, optimism. Update: I went back for the 8pm event where we didn't know what we were going to see. All they said was that it would blow our minds and it did. They had guests like Anthony Hopkins, Kate Hudson, OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, and American Idol's Pia Toscano, along with a full orchestra and a drone show. Plus, the stage looked like a mini Hollywood Bowl, but everyone was close to the stage.

DO NOT SHOP ONLINE!!! False advertising of FREE RETURNS and GASLIGHTING by customer service aka…read more"concierge"! They included a letter stating free returns with my order and their website automated chat also stated that returns are free, but when I contacted customer service they said that was last year's policy and refused to honor. This is what the "concierge" wrote to me when I sent them a photo of the letter included with my order. "To clarify, the free return mentioned applies when you choose an exchange option. For returns processed as a refund to the original payment method, an $8 return fee is deducted, in line with our current returns policy. We understand how the wording may have caused confusion, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention." Thanks for victim blaming and calling it my confusion, but free return is what the letter states. This is what their website AI agent states.. "US domestic customers: Use this portal to initiate a return and receive a free USPS label: https://aninebing.myshopify.com/apps/returns https://aninebing.myshopify.com/apps/returns. Simply click "Drop off at Post Office". Free returns and exchanges are offered for full-price purchases within 14 days of receiving your order, provided the merchandise is unworn and unwashed. " Even after emailing back and forth 5-6 times, the concierge wouldn't honor their advertised free return. Never again Anine Bing!!!

I love Ref and up to now, I've gotten all of my pieces from Nordstrom. I have a studio closer to…read moreme, but happened to be up in the Palisades, so stopped in. The space is bright and the selection is great. The concept is pretty cool-everything out is a sample, if you want to try something on, you let them know and your size magically shows up in the room. I ended up getting some pieces-they also put a "try me" dress in my exact size in the room. Why only 3 stars? The actual employee was SO meh. I didn't realize the concept going in, had to ask and zero guidance was given. No offers of help (I was the only one in there!) or guidance on anything. I'm a size 2/4 (25 jeans!) so I don't think it's size, like others mentioned. It was a totally flip from the service I received at Veronica Beard and Paige, where I went right after. Do better with your service, Ref!

Love this store and the people who helped me pick out items were very helpful but the women behind…read morethe cash register was beyond rude. Had to deal with her twice, when I first walked in to do a return and then when I was checking out. Considering how much buying a few things in here costs - its a splurge so when dropping that amount of cash its a real buzz kill when the women checking you out is rude for no reason. I worked retail in my twenties and can't imagine pulling that kind of an attitude.

Such a fabulous shop!…read more The creativity is palpable the moment you walk in. The signs initially grabbed me with their cerulean blue. Then seeing the jewelry on the postcard sealed the deal. Her jewelry is exceptional and unique while still elegant in a way that's hard to find. The fabrics of clothes that she carrie's are luxury level. The cashmeres, knits & silks are saturated in rich hues and knotted with perfect intention. Come with the expectation of shelling out for quality goods and materials. I loved the scent of her candles and believe they ranged from $65 up. Highly recommend stopping in. The owner made me feel so welcome!
