Seemed to be more cost effective as well in some items. The place seemed organized with clothes. Some finds with tags still on and some fairly worn marked at a decent price. It's a great concept since babies outgrow their clothes quickly. Experience at the store was fine. Parking was convenient on the street. And their seemed to be adequate staffing during the time I went. The responses seen from owner on yelp however does make me feel hesitant. I often appreciate owners responses, it lets you know they care but I feel low reviews could be addressed better. Often times it may be more off-putting how the owners respond versus the 1 star review itself.

The Unicorn Store is down an alley way (I guess you can say behind Sephora). I have always wanted…read moreto visit this store because it just peaked my interest but have only visited Old Town Pasadena at night, after they were closed. But this past Sunday, my husband, our little girl dog and I finally got a chance to visit since we were visiting Old Town Pasadena during the afternoon. When we walked in, we were greeted by an employee behind the register at the back of the store. This store is very cute and really would be a little girl's dream because of all the unicorns, pink, glitter and sparkle. I ended up purchasing a mermaid coloring book for my nieces to add to their Christmas gifts that I have for them, but not sure if they are even into mermaids (and my husband doesn't seem to know either if they are or if they are into unicorns. These little girls change their interests so often it is hard to keep up). But I'd love to take them to this store and see if they would want anything (and knowing me, I would most likely let them each pick out one item and I would purchase it for them). Overall, I really enjoyed my shopping visit and would come back for gifts in the future (maybe could also find a fun white elephant gift or a secret santa gift in here too).

But today there was a very rude woman by the name of "Robin" she claimed to be the manager. She said that because it had a red tag they don't return anything. But the guy there yesterday took my return!!! This woman was a real bitch. Who knows if her real name is Robin. She didn't look like a Robin. And as I was leaving the store a guy walked out and the alarm went off. Apparently he was stealing something. No one came looking for him or to see who had just walked out. Apparently you can go into this store and steal and with no repercussions!!!! Crazy!!!

A Slice of Shopping Heaven in San Marino…read more Serafina is less of a boutique and more of a retail paradise where the fashion angels sing and the decor whispers, "Go on, treat yourself." Nestled in the heart of San Marino, just a stone's throw from Pasadena, it's the kind of place that makes you feel like royalty--no tiara required. Upon entering, it's clear this is no ordinary clothing emporium. The mix of designers is so carefully curated, I half expected to find a gallery label next to the Nili Lotan display. And with threads by Sea NY and Helmut Lang hanging around, you're not just shopping; you're adding to your art collection. The handbags? They've got more personality than a reality TV star. Shoes that make Cinderella's glass slipper look like a flip-flop. Fine jewelry that has you sparkling brighter than the twinkle in your eye. And let's not forget the gift items--because who doesn't love presents? But wait, there's more! A children's boutique so adorable, even your little ones will want to extend playtime to dress-up time. With names like Splendid and Ella Moss, your kids are walking out of there runway-ready for the sandbox catwalk. Sipping on Pellegrino while the staff, who are more like your personal fashion consultants, cater to your every need? Check. Enjoying a cappuccino as you peruse luxury labels? Double check. Feeling as comfortable as if you were lounging in your own living room? Well, if your living room was a casually chic sanctuary of style, then yes--triple check! If Serafina were a song, it'd be a symphony of style, luxury, and comfort. So next time you're in San Marino and need a dose of retail therapy, float on into Serafina and float out like the fashion deity you truly are.

I recently moved to the area from Brentwood and was excited…read moreto see a cute shop with a nicely curated selection of some of my favorite brands like Xirena and Saloni, they also have a nice selection of home items like candles and hostess gifts. I hate giving 2 stars, but in this instance my two stars go for the low level of customer service. No one greets you when you walk in (I've been a few times), no one asks to hold your items at the counter when they see you holding an armful of items, when I ask for a size they say that's all they have and can't be bothered to say they can order it for you or provide alternatives. This store seems to cater to the white and 60+ set (that's all there was at the store both times I've visited) and if you don't fit that demographic, they don't care you'll be dropping $5-600. I wanted to support a local business but I rather make the drive back to the country mart than give my money to a shop that does not value all of their shoppers. Perhaps I expect too much out of my shopping experience, but now more than ever (pandemic) I want my limited entries to shops to be memorable. I don't want to think "oh, I had a shitty time when I bought this $400 dress".

(Once Amazon saved the day and delivered it to her door while my nephew was opening his presents.) I honestly have no clue where to buy toys for kids. Target is always a hassle, so I was thrilled when I stumbled upon Shop Merci Milo while walking around my neighborhood. This charming store is located inside a converted garage. It's adorable and resembles the ideal playroom. The owner did a great job of creating a welcome environment for children. The shop is organized and you'll find toys from around the world, books, clothing, shoes, accessories, and unique gifts. They even have educational toys, which I prefer to give. I'm so glad I discovered this place. Now I don't have to stress out when I need a present at the last minute. *Online ordering also available shopmercimilo.com *Residential street parking.

At the time that I was there, they were having a clearance sale. I ended up walking out with a pair of pants which I'm excited to wear.

Great thing about that, is if you do find some jeans online and the price is cheaper online vs in store, they will price match.

Didn't take me near as long to browse the lesser end of the store but to all surprise and chances, after a year of looking for that denim jacket that doesn't scream cowboy or cost as much as a leather bomber, the magic! I brought a forty buck blue cotton jean jacket back 1600 miles and still feeling good about that wildly long wait for a simple wear paid off more than I could imagine in California. The staff is so fun here. They lined up both up with simple mobile payments options without a tacky screen. I bet they'll be walking around next just handing us checkout taps as we wonder the store. It's still that smart A&F, modern, crisp, and somehow also old school and timeless.

I have been shopping for my two year old son since before he was born at eyespeak vintage. What started as just an online store now has a flagship in Pasadena that makes shopping even easier.

Before heading to a Yelp Elite event nearby, I decided to pop into Miniso to kill some time and…read morehonestly, it was a pretty solid stop overall. This location is a bit smaller than some of the other Miniso stores I've visited, but they still had a good variety of products, and it was fun browsing through everything and checking out how the store was laid out. I even came across some blind boxes I hadn't seen at other locations, which was a nice surprise. Of course I had to grab one especially since I finally got to use my 20% off birthday reward for the first time! I'll admit, I was a little bummed because I had just missed out on their previous birthday freebie (a blind box up to $25!), but I still appreciated having a discount to use. Checkout is where things felt a little off. After giving my phone number for rewards, I asked if I could use my birthday coupon. The cashier asked, "Which one?" which confused me since I thought there was only one available promo at the moment. She then asked to see the barcode, and while I pulled it up pretty quickly, she started helping another customer and asked me to step aside. I didn't mind doing that at all, but it did leave me standing there ready to go for a minute. Once she saw I was set, she helped me at another register and finished the transaction without any issues. Overall, I wouldn't say the service was bad just a little awkward in that moment. I'd definitely still come back, especially if I'm in the Pasadena area again. It's a great spot to browse, find cute items, and pick up something fun when you've got time to spare.
