I planned my day around visiting this Uniqlo when I was in San Diego. That's kind of how it is when…read moreyou live in the Midwest and the closest Uniqlo is a three-hour drive, and you're visiting Southern California and SoCal is lousy with Uniqlo. There are so many Uniqlo stores everywhere! You guys are so lucky. This Uniqlo is located in the Fashion Valley Mall, an outdoor mall full of high-end and medium-end stores. It's on the upper level. Like all the Uniqlo locations that I've ever visited, this one is immaculate and organized. It's a pleasure to walk around and look at the well-made Japanese clothing. This is one of the smaller stores, so there isn't a huge variety like some of the other locations. But I found the things that I came for: the 3D mesh knit sweater in two different neutral colors, and another sweater in a neutral color. Uniqlo is great for basics and neutral things. One of my children thought I spent a thousand dollars on the clothes that I bought (he has no sense of money!), but no! The great thing about Uniqlo is that the clothes are great quality but the price is low. I love Uniqlo.

The store is quite large compared to a lot of the other area Carter's which is good for variety. My biggest issue with this store, but really with most stores I just shop at carters a lot so I see it often, there are next to no boy clothes compared to girls! Boy moms want to dress up their kids too. We also want a closet full of clothes, but the stores sell next to nothing for boys! It is so frustrating and that is the reason why I online shop so much. This will continue to be the carters I come to the most but I will keep sticking to online shopping and be furious every time I come here since I am a boy mom.

No matter how tired you are or what's going on in your personal life- always take care of the customer! Make them feel welcomed, comfortable, be friendly! It's a store where moms will be suckers and buy adorable clothes- hint: we're likely to spend more the friendlier you are! My boyfriend and I both left there with a really uneasy feeling. I only left with a purchase bc when you return something for store credit you HAVE to use it same day. Interesting but okay. I'm 39 weeks pregnant and getting over a terrible cold. Finishing my last minute "to do's" I walked in with a bag of 3 outfits I received for Christmas that had Carter tags on them. It was 6pm on a Sunday and like I said, super pregnant and getting over a cold I threw my hair up and put on the most comfy sweats I owned. This girl looked at me like I was white trash and trying to pull a fast one on her. Not even realizing one tag said Macy's she just responded "if it says Macy's it won't scan in our system" (thank you captain obvious i figured that much, just didn't realize it until i got there). I told her "oh no problem I can take it to Macy's, do you think I can return these for store credit please?" From there on out our interaction was so awkward and cold. She was extremely unfriendly and seemed super miserable and annoyed that I was in her store. After picking out two cute outfits we used our credit and left- I believe I was the one who had to say "thanks so much, have a good night". Now a few hours later I told my boyfriend "we should shop there now for the baby, the clothes were cute and good prices". He responded "i don't want to go back, the ladies working were so rude". And he is a very easy going guy and doesn't let much bother him. Overall the store was clean and organized which is important as well. Just a major bummer with the service- a staff that is cold and doesn't make a customer feel comfortable while shopping is bad news bears for business. :( This place sucks

It's pretty pricey $80 for toddler bathing suits. But cute! They have a website and had a small sale section in back. Friendly staff who were sweet. I could see this as a place for me to get some photo shoot items or holiday-specific outfits for my daughter.

I needed to purchase a wetsuit as I am not about to let this summer go by and not get into the "warm" San Diego waters. Water temps are about as high as it gets for out here right now, like in low 70s, so for me, thats still cold. I need at least a 4/3 wetsuit for that temp. Yes, I am a pansy and I know it. This place has a really nice section for wetsuits and also some great sales too. I made a beeline for the back of the store to check out what they had available. They have short wetsuits, 3/2s, 4/3s, some with hoods (I like those), some front zippered and some back zipped (this is my preference), children's wetsuits, men and women's also. I already knew what I needed so only had to try on two wetsuits (that was already too much lol - you are ALWAYS fighting wetsuits). Fitting rooms available here and then I went to work battling the wetsuits. I could fit the size 4 but my shoulders are a bit broader and the zipper wasn't like easy to pull, so I went with the size 6. The cost for 4/3 wetsuit here was $150, a pretty good deal. I was just at REI looking at an O'Neill 4/3 and it was over $400! I also picked up some shorts and a bikini top and everything here is severely discounted. Sweet!! Service guy working here was super nice and helpful. He showed me the size chart for wetsuits and helped me get a fitting room and rung me up. Great place to get some water apparel here and know they have wetsuits too. They also have shoes here but not too many options in sizes. They also have bags and other items too (I forgot to look at a wetsuit hood they had on sale here - so will come back). Overall. this place was great! I'll be back! But know the parking is a disaster here, the lot is super tight, just FYI.

When we walked in, there was lots of sales being advertised on a lot of the racks when we walked in. Definitely makes a big difference since the clothing products here are definitely on the pricier end. My first time shopping at this retail store and they have a great selection related to swimwear!!! I was interested in buying a wetsuit and was also informed on the differences between the 4/3 and the 5/3 millimeters of the wetsuits. A 4/3 (4mm for the torso and 3mm for the arms) is better for moderate to cold water with higher flexibility, while the 5/3 is warmer and designed for colder, winter waters, and is slightly less flexible. My goal is to be warm as I don't want to feel too cold so I went with the 5/3. There's a good amount of fitting rooms that are good sized to be trying them on. My first time trying on wetsuits and I felt like a seal LOL!!! I purchased one but keep in mind that even with the clearance sale I got it for, it was $120+. My girlfriend tried finding bikinis but there was little sizing for her and lots of the two pieces were separated and the designs weren't matching so she didn't get any.
