**Fiesta vibes only** when you enter this home-turned-neighborhood-shop…read more Are you in your señora era and looking to deck out your casita with beautiful handmade wares? Look no further. Karolina's has you covered from the front door, to the kitchen, to your wardrobe, and yes, even the garden. They've got the obligatory stickers and t-shirts, of course, but they also have a large and unique selection of Hispanic-themed and inspired trinkets and dishware that are sure to save you the trip to Laredo or the RGV. The people who work here are really great, too. The prices seem fair for what it takes to produce and import these items, but you know I love a deal (and I don't think they take coupons here). Still, it's very much worthwhile to support a local business that's bringing this vibrant energy to our community.

Went last year but been needing to make a review. They have the cutesttt items. So many fun and…read morewitty things. I wanted to go crazy and buy so many things but unfortunately my daughter and I were being followed around the store by staff as if they were trying to make sure we wouldn't steal anything. I haven't experienced that since being a high schooler in Spencer's Gift. It was uncomfy. We purchased only a few items and told her yea probably not coming back here again. Closer to fiesta I went ahead and ordered some items online. Majority of the items I ordered were out of stock so I had to just cancel my order. It just hasn't been the greatest experience for me which is unfortunate because their items are so unique and cute.

Let's just say I am in love! Super cute new boutique in Leon Valley and not only do they have super…read morecute clothes and San Antonio inspired accessories but the owner is AMAZING!!! As soon as we walked in she greeted us, offered us cold beverages, and made us feel so welcome. We also learned that she offers Sip N Shop hours in the morning with mimosas or an evening option with margaritas. You and your friends have 1 hour exclusively to shop with no shopping minimum that needs to be met. I can not wait to schedule a Sip N Shop with our family! What is more fun than your girls, shopping, and sipping?! I bought some super cute earrings this time but I am looking forward to going back and buying some new outfits next time. Prices are very reasonable. Another plus is that she has an amazing friendship and partnership with local artist Hector. You will find his art work throughout the boutique for purchase. Support local small businesses!

I am really digging Ten dollar Tuesdays! Originally, that's what brought me in, but that was just…read morethe tip of the iceberg. Besides finding a beautiful school girl outfit for $10, I also found a beautiful unicorn outfit for only $30 and a rockin' Padme outfit that I may go back for next payday. I did not realize there were reasonably priced costume stores with good quality in this town. But there is. The manager told me they only deal with Dreamers and Leg Avenue, and both these companies have to go through quality inspections before hitting the shelves. This is a family owned business and you can feel the difference in customer care and pride immediately over the big chains. A beautiful lady named Soyla helped me in the dressing area, and I couldn't believe how helpful she was with ideas for me and even finding matching tights and petticoats. When one outfit I had my heart set on didn't work out she found something similar and even better. She treated me like a queen, and that won't be soon forgotten. Unlike some places that give you the old eye roll, I noticed this lady helps everyone in this way and never seems to tire of constant questions and demands of customers. Just superb in customer service and prices. Thank you for making my day!

Their items are very high quality, which explains the price, and EVERYTHING in there is BEAUTIFUL! You can catch some good finds on sale at times by even with the high price, you'll be greatly satisfied! Upon entrance, you're almost transported to a small luxurious boutique in Europe. The smell of the high quality candles are above amazing. They even offer my fav toothpaste, Marcos, which is sold mostly in Europe. The service is above and beyond just as much as the retail. If you're at The Pearl you definitely should check them out!

Fiesta at North Star is like visiting every street in Laredo or Nogales all in one air conditioned…read morespace! Wow! Wall to wall floor to ceiling Fiesta goods from fiesta dresses and shirts, pinatas, dolls, flowers, everything bright and colorful and handmade by south of the border artisans. Some prices are super affordable, like paper flower hair wreaths and Lele dolls. Other items like embroidered fiesta dresses are pricier. I paid $38 for a child's fiesta dress but she looked so cute in it that it was worth it. There is also a Dia de los Muertos museum and large area of items to purchase. If you can't find it here I doubt it is available. The whole place is a bright color explosion and the staff is helpful and available. There is a little eatery inside that I will review separately. All said and done this Fiesta at North Star is a bright visit to a fun place with that Tejano vibe that makes SATX fabulous.

Fiesta at North Star represents many of the items that I grew up with in San Antonio, TX. San…read moreAntonio is known for many festive celebrations and associated celebratory pieces such as clothing, hair pieces and other accessories. Fiesta at North Star feels like a celebration or party! Talk about sensory overload...your eyes see nothing but bold colors. As you scan the room, you see bright embroidered pueblo dresses hanging from racks (still own a couple), strings of papel picado flying overhead, and shelves overflowing with decorations with the spirit of San Antonio's Fiesta. The store is bold, busy, and totally festive. The space is larger than it looks from the outside...deep and wide. There is virtually no dead space. Everywhere you look you find a new discovery...handcrafted items that reflected a deep connection to Mexican and Latin American culture. The store has a wide range of authentic Fiesta merchandise and cultural goods. In fact, I saw the tissue paper flowers, large and small, throughout the store. I have fond memories of placing one the flowers or a band of flowers in my hair during the Battle of Flowers or Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA) parades. The decorations, music, and overall layout are designed to immerse visitors in the culture of Fiesta. Most items are pretty reasonably priced. However, the larger pinatas and more intricate items could cost more. In addition, staff is available throughout the store to assist you. Fiesta at North Star Mall truly captures the essence of Fiesta. Look forward to my next leisurely visit...

So here I am again in another vinyl store. How is it I keep ending up in these places?…read more Well, seems once you do a Cricut craft, you end up wanting to do more. Go figure!‍ Anyhoo...this place is pretty vast. They have row upon row of T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc, for all ages and sizes. The prices differ as well, depending on make and style, and they have many styles. The vinyl selection is much, much smaller. They seem to carry more individual sheets, instead of rolls. The prices are based on the type and amount purchased (for example: glitter, reflective.) The young man at the cashier was very helpful and amenable. Since I wasn't well versed in the types of vinyl, I had a few questions, and he was happy to answer and clarify. He was genuinely interested on what I thought of the place. Al in all, I didn't get a lot of bang for my money because,y'all, vinyl is expensive! But, it did seem more affordable than other stores, since it can be purchased by sheet. I did do some research and priced out vinyl at the more popular, chain crafting stores! Yikes! Definitely better to buy it by the sheet. And Aviva beats them all in the sheer quantity of T-shirt inventory.
