Lots of cute short distressed cut off shorts I'd gladly have given a second glance at but wanted to at least put a little more effort at being presentable just in case. We finally found a fun outfit to wear after going on Splash Mountain on hub's birthday. Hooray! We didn't have to look any further. Thankyou Old Navy for your new sizing, neat and clean store and lots of items in all sizes.

If you love a good bargain and don't mind doing a little detective work, this Old Navy is worth…read morechecking out. Think of it as a fun scavenger hunt where you might leave with some cute finds or appreciate the amount of patience you have. Pros: *Noticed a great selection of comfy, casual everyday clothes *Cute summer dresses and adorable jelly sandals that I was tempted to buy. I used to wear these as a kid. They are back in style! *Noticed a lot of sales and I'm sure you get better discounts as a rewards member (which I'm not). *Clearance prices can be fantastic if you're willing to dig, which I did not since I was pressed for time. *Other than the back clearance sections, the store looked clean, well-kept and I saw employees constantly folding and organizing. *Fitting rooms available if only I wasn't lazy trying on clothes *Did not notice any BO upon entering as others mentioned. Maybe they got the issue under control? *Wasn't crowded on a weekday afternoon *Convenient location next to Trader Joe's, Marshalls, and across from Mission Valley Mall. *Plenty of parking during slower times. *Good value for basics, denim, and family shopping. Cons: *The clearance section requires patience, determination, and possibly a snack break. It was probably the most disorganized part of the store since customers were wrestling through the clothes. I don't have much patience to dig through it so it was a bit overwhelming. *Sizing can be inconsistent with some extra smalls and smalls fit more like mediums or larges. *Bummer couldn't find the cargo pants I wanted. *Nothing really screamed "you have to buy me" besides the jelly sandals. *Parking can be competitive on busy days and weekends. All in all, Old Navy will test your patience. Just make sure to plan on having ample time to do your shopping. This last visit was meh so 3 stars it is!

I've been shopping at Athleta for over 10 years. I've found that their clothes usually fit me well,…read moreare reasonably comfortable and stylish, and are well-made. Athleta is one of the four main brands that Gap owns (Gap, Athleta, Old Navy and Banana Republic), and as a result, their customer service and return policies have always been solid. I also appreciate that Gap is based in California. I popped into the Fashion Valley location today, with the intention of looking for for some summery casual pants and possibly some new t-shirts. The store was nicely organized and the displays were welcoming. Sally provided excellent customer service from start to finish as well, and I was very impressed with her upbeat personality and kindness. Thanks for being a day brightener, Sally! I tried on a couple of things, and decided on some cute black pants with a white stripe. Super comfortable and flattering on. The other stuff I tried on was either cut a little weirdly for my shape, or too small. But, I'm happy with my pants. Athleta tends to be a little bit less costly than Vuori & Lululemon and not as pretentious, although their prices still skew on the higher side for athleisure in general. So while I do shop at all of these stores, I find the experience to be the most pleasant at Athleta. Mahalo!

I had such a wonderful experience at Athleta in Fashion Valley thanks to Andrea and Bella. From the…read moremoment I walked in, both of them made me feel genuinely welcomed and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. Andrea was incredibly knowledgeable about the product lines and helped me find the perfect pieces for my active lifestyle. She offered great suggestions based on my needs without being pushy, and her enthusiasm for the brand was contagious. Bella was equally attentive and went above and beyond to check the back for sizes and even helped me coordinate different pieces together. What really stood out was how both Andrea and Bella balanced being helpful without hovering they gave me space to browse but were there instantly when I needed assistance. Their genuine friendliness and product expertise made what could have been a quick shopping trip into an enjoyable experience. The store itself is beautifully organized and well-stocked on the upper level of Fashion Valley, conveniently located near the dining terrace. But honestly, it's employees like Andrea and Bella who make Athleta stand out from other activewear stores in the area. They're clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in the quality of service they provide. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend stopping by and asking for Andrea or Bella if you want a personalized, pressure-free shopping experience! @neeks93 on insta

LULULEMON ATHLETICA @ FASHION VALLEY…read more Parking is available at any of the garages at Fashion Valley. I usually park near Zara or H&M because I like that parking structure the best. It can get pretty busy, but there are usually still plenty of spots. This Lululemon just opened about a month ago. I actually saw them finishing it up at the end of January and February, so now that it's fully open everything still feels super new and really nice. The store is kind of located in the middle of the mall, and when I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon there were so many people checking it out. I really love the architecture of this location. They have little touches that feel very San Diego, like a sign that says "Welcome to San Diego," which is such a cute detail. They also have a lot of new arrivals right now especially leggings with new prints, including some cheetah styles that just came out. I'd also recommend checking out their jackets. I just picked up their new white jacket with a gold zipper and it's super cute and really flattering. It was about $130, but the quality and fabric feel really nice. They also have a great men's section along with women's items, so it's definitely worth stopping by. The store is located on the second floor, and parking at Fashion Valley is free, which makes it easy to just walk around and explore the mall.

PACSUN @ FASION VALLEY…read more This is a great store to stop by if you're visiting Fashion Valley. I recommend parking near Zara, as H&M and PacSun are very close to that parking area. The location is convenient, and I always enjoy coming here, although it does tend to get busy on the weekends. My boyfriend and I visited on a Saturday morning and stopped by PacSun. One of the things I love most about PacSun is that it carries other popular brands, like Brandy Melville, which is where I do most of my shopping. While I feel that PacSun itself has lost some of its popularity and has become noticeably more expensive, the Brandy Melville section remains my favorite part of the store. I ended up purchasing a navy tube top that I absolutely loved, and I was also able to get a free T-shirt through the PacSun app. I would definitely recommend signing up for their rewards program. Overall, my experience was positive, the service was friendly, and although the store is on the smaller side, you can still find some great items.

We don't have a specific Vuori store in Virginia near me so I was excited to come inside and try on some styles I've been eyeing for a while for fit. I also browsed the sale section in the back and found some leggings I loved. While trying on clothing one of the sales associates was clearly flirting with a girl back there and was paying a lot of attention to her for about 10-15 minutes and never ever said hi to me. Not the biggest issue but, rude! Could've at least asked if I was doing ok... but, he only had eyes for her. Ha. Gorgeous fitting rooms, but really dark inside with some warm lighting but didn't offer enough light to actually really look at the clothing and make sure there were no issues. I had to use the light on my phone to double-check and I'm glad I did, bc the pants had a lot of runs in them. I spoke to someone at the front who said if I ordered off the site I wouldn't get the same pants as their fulfillment doesn't come from stores - we will see. I ordered the same size as in the store and I'm going to be mad if those arrive in the mail in a few days...

I've always been a fan of the brands under the URBN umbrella (Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and…read moreFree People). Compared to fast-fashion retailers, they tend to have better sourcing practices and higher-quality pieces. When I first moved to California, I wasn't used to seeing these brands everywhere like I did with East Coast retailers, but over time, they've become some of my go-to shops for their trendy yet well-made clothing. During the holiday season, Urban Outfitters was significantly busier than Anthropologie and Free People, and unfortunately, the customer service took a hit because of it. While both of those stores consistently provide impeccable service, UO felt a bit more chaotic in comparison. I assume this has to do with the younger demographic they cater to, which also reflects in their staff, most of whom seem to be college-aged. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but it does make a noticeable difference. Anthropologie and Free People employees tend to be more seasoned, more engaged, and overall just more attentive. That said, now that the holiday rush is over, I've noticed a big improvement. The sales section and fitting rooms, which used to be a mess, are now much more organized with staff actively maintaining them. The checkout line moves more smoothly, and the overall atmosphere feels less overwhelming. I didn't feel the need to leave a review before because, honestly, most retail stores deal with the same post-holiday struggles, but I have to give credit where it's due, UO has stepped up. Unlike some other fast-fashion chains in the mall like Zara and H&M, which still seem disorganized on the weekends, UO has clearly put in the effort to improve. I think a big part of this is that the management seems to be focused on staff development rather than just filling shifts. The familiar faces I now recognize are much more attentive and confident in their roles, and you can tell they're balancing their responsibilities better. As for selection of their clothes and other products, UO carries a good mix of trendy pieces, vintage-inspired finds, and some quirky household knick-knacks. While their inventory can be a hit or miss depending on the season, I appreciate that they stock more unique styles compared to basic fast-fashion retailers like H&M. Their home and accessories section is also fun to browse and something I'd probably buy instead over the home-products that I see in Anthropologie. Value-wise, UO sits in that mid-tier range. Not quite designer like Anthro and Free People, but definitely pricier than fast fashion brands like I mentioned earlier. Some pieces are worth it, especially when they're made with better materials, but others can feel overpriced for what they are like the Graphic Tees for example. That being said, their sale section is where you can find some solid deals if you're patient and go through it if you have the time. Unlike other retailers that just throw clearance items into a messy pile, UO's sale section is now much easier to navigate, which makes a huge difference when it comes to the overall shopping experience. Overall, if you're shopping at UO in Fashion Valley, expect a much better experience outside of the holiday season. The store is noticeably more organized, the service has improved, and the shopping experience feels much more enjoyable. If they can keep this level of consistency year-round, they'd easily earn a five-star rating from me just like Anthropologie and Free People.

This is one of the worst Urban locations in San Diego. The employees there are inexperienced and…read morerude. They're constantly just standing around at the register chatting, acting like they'd rather be anywhere else. The store is NEVER picked up, clothes all over the floor and dressing room, trash scattered around, and discarded hangers. You'd think for the high prices, they'd bother to make the store look better. The dressing rooms have always been a headache as well. I've had staff literally rip open the curtain to the room I was in and only say "oops" and walk off. The clothes are not nearly worth their price tag at all. Nordstrom has better quality than this place. Skip this UO location and go to literally anywhere else.
