This is the best place for deals for women of Los Angeles. It's a cute boutique that has everything…read morefor cheap. I've gotten coats, shoes, and dresses for less. There are plus size gems too for dirt cheap and you can also purchase Avon. The lady who runs it will hook you up and doesn't hound you to buy like most establishments. Every now and then she has photoshoots and her VIP clients like myself get discounts. The quality of clothes is better than Forever 21 and other places plus you won't see anyone else in her clothes. If you're ever in the South Los Angeles area stop by. I guarantee you will not leave disappointed.

This is a great shoe store for unique and exotic shoes. They also carry sizes above 13 which is why…read moreI love them. It's difficult to find good shoes above a 13. They sell both Men's and Women's shoes. I know of this store as Shoes for the Stars. Maybe they changed their name, but as Ana said, Jacob is the owner, so it's the same place. Funny as I also live in San Diego and will make a special trip to Melrose just for this store. (and Explosion across the street!)

If there's a really good sample sale in LA or OC, I am there. I'm a sucker for a great sale. I know…read moreto be patient at sample sales. This was my first time going to the Gilt Sample sale and I had really low expectations because of the previous reviews. There was free parking at the end of the block. It was a big parking lot, so there was plenty of space for everyone. (but I was lucky and found street parking). I arrived a little before 9 because I was unsure of the parking situation. I noticed other people parking and walking over to wait in line around 9. By 9:30, I decided to get out of my car and line up. I was probably 25th in line, which wasn't bad at all. (I was expecting for the line to be wrapped around the corner). I didn't see a Yelp/Express line, so I just stood in the regular line. When you walk in, they had you a shopping bag. The first thing you see are the clutches on a table, and racks of shoes behind that table. Men shoes on the right and women shoes on the left. Behind the racks are multiple boxes of shoes jumbled up. It takes a while, but you will find a lot of amazing finds. I got dolce vita and rebecca minkoff booties for $10 each! What?! I found Stuart Weitzman heels for $15. The shoes, children shoes/clothes, free wine and snacks were in a different room. It gets pretty overwhelming looking through the clothes, but I saw a lot of great pieces. At the end, the savings were worth it. I was talking to the cashier and he was saying that it's the last sample sale that they were going to do, ever. I hope that's not true :(

One word pretty much sums up this event: intense. Massive amounts of people, very narrow aisles…read morebetween racks of clothes, super long lines everywhere--to get in, to enter the dressing room, to check out. If you're not a fan of crowds, definitely avoid this sample sale. Yelp provided us with complimentary tickets to this well-known sample sale known for it's amazing deals on designer brands. As soon as we arrived, the line situation was pretty confusing. There were two lines going in either direction from the main entrance. Both sides had a sign saying that they were for Yelp, VIP, media, etc. My friend and I decided to jump in the shorter line along with other Yelpers, however, it wasn't until much later that we were told that that line was for people checking in coats and bags only. This was stated nowhere on the signs, which would have been helpful! The check-in itself, however, was very easy! (Good tip not to bring a huge coat or purse larger than 5"x7"!) Upon entering, hoards of people were already attacking all of the tables and racks. Apparently, they had run out of totes, so my friend and I had to carry anything we were interested in buying. As I mentioned before, the aisles between racks were super narrow making it incredibly difficult to move without the entire row of people moving. At times, people got pretty aggressive too! The best part of the event was the Remy Cointreau white wine, Hippeas Organic Chickpea Puffs, and Harmless Harvest Coconut Water! I was a little disappointed that despite mentions of there being complimentary chair massages, makeup application, braiding and dry styling, these services were nowhere to be found! Overall, I could see that there were some pretty decent deals, but you really need to have the patience for hunting for that perfect deal that also fits and looks good!

These glasses I bought in Tokyo broke. The butt-strap glue was no good. As a Santa Monica resident…read moreI turned to Yelp for some help. Darryl's office wasn't the only optician in the area, but the area was easy access. His office is located at the back of a larger office on the second floor. Darryl was very friendly, and agreed to fix the glasses even though I told him they weren't prescription. He did grimace. He promised a quick turn around on repair, and made good on it. He also stocks a nice selection of frames. Good guy. Great service. Thank you Darryl Seman.

I really needed a pair of boots for this event tonight. This was the only store in the mall that…read morehad the boots I wanted. Saw that this placed closed at 8 on Yelp, but when I got to the store the gate was halfway up. So I went in and was asked to leave. Asked what time the store closes, lady said 6. I pointed out it was 5:50. The lady then proceeds to say they close 10 min early. I don't care if you fix your hours now, I have no plans to come back.

They used to be trustworthy and it seems time and greed have set it…read more I was told that diamonds purchased here would always have the same value when shopping there. As a result, we have purchased multiple diamonds here. Earlier this year I had upgraded once again but decided I liked my smaller diamond better so went back to trade expecting to get the agreed value he guaranteed to earn and keep our business. Jack then gave all these explanations for why the diamond had lost its value and offered to buy it back for half what I paid. I was so offended because he showed he cared more about money than his commitment to his long time clients. What's worse, I was going to get a man made diamond before this last upgrade but wanted to continue supporting this business knowing I had the safety investment guarantee. Turns out the only guarantee is that he cares more about money than loyalty or relationships. It was all fun and good when I was footing the bill... what truly shows character is when they have to step up and and don't. Shop somewhere else and save money buying 100% for sure conflict free man made certified diamonds. The one star is for Alan. I still like him as a person.

They gave awesome suggestions on how to pair the engagement ring with the wedding ring. We got them engraved and they also polished my engagement ring! My fiance also got the engaged ring from them.

Very happy with our rings and their service. I highly recommend them!
