Though I'm more a Nordstrom's shopper than I am a Rack shopper, I love this location in Elk Grove…read more I can return online purchases to the Rack with no hassle, and today, I was able to pick up a purchase ordered from another Nordstrom store that was overnight delivered to this location. Their pickup area is in the back of the store so you didn't have to wait in the cashier line, and was very convenient. I really appreciated the service and help I received from Asim. My best experience in this location is from Asim and Dean, who are so efficient, professional, gracious and helpful. Their service will keep me coming back.

It is nice having a Rack in Elk Grove. This particular store is a nice one. They have a great…read moreselection of clothing items and a decent selection of shoes.

What a memorable, unique experience! I'm a huge fan of fragrances -- when I saw on TikTok that…read morethere's a place where you could formulate your own, my boyfriend and I had to book right away. This spot is located in the back of the boutique. Throughout your experience, you'll be guided by Amber, who has such passion and deep knowledge into the craft of fragrance making. There is a wide selection of ingredients for you to use for your top, middle, and base notes. The super cool part is that your fragrance gets a unique code that you could use to re-order your scent if desired! The experience was well worth the price. It seems like this place's schedule is booking up so get an appointment scheduled!

Drinks included, amazing guidance from Amber, and your custom scent code is saved for reorders. Perfect for dates or a fun outing with friends. ---- My partner and I decided to make a little date out of this place after seeing it on TikTok, and it turned out to be such a fun and memorable experience. Parking can be a bit tricky since there is not much right by the storefront. We ended up finding a surface lot a short walk away. Once inside, you will notice the creation lab is tucked in the back of a boutique store, which honestly adds to the charm. What immediately stood out was the personalized welcome sign at the entrance. It felt thoughtful and made us feel genuinely valued as guests. We were greeted with a choice of drinks including juices, water, and even mimosas to sip on during our session, which made the whole vibe feel elevated and relaxed. Amber, who guided us through the process, was absolutely wonderful. She walked us through fragrance formulation with both expertise and patience, and I was blown away by her knowledge of fragrance composition. More than that, she radiates kindness and puts her full heart into what she does, which makes the whole experience even more special. The session itself was equal parts creative and relaxing. We had a great time blending different notes and ultimately walked away with fragrances that felt uniquely ours. A huge bonus is that they keep your custom fragrance code on file, so if you fall in love with your creation (like I did), you can reorder it later. If you are looking for a unique and intimate activity with friends or a significant other, I highly recommend this spot. It is interactive, personalized, and leaves you with something tangible to remember the day by. I would definitely do it again.

We passes by this super cute little dress shop in Lodi a few blocks from downtown. The sparkles in…read morethe window caught our eye, and to our surprise we walked in without an appointment just asking if we could look around. There was a family with a daughter trying on dresses, so we assumed like every other dress shop we would need an appointment. The two women working there were so kind and attentive to us. They welcomed us in and made the experience very fun! They have a great selection of dresses and catalogs to help order other colors if needed . We ended up ordering one in a color the store did not stock in her size . Estimated delivery time is about a week . My daughter's favorite part was that they write down the name of your school and event so they will not sell the same dress to another girl at the same event . It was busy with girls coming in , but they all had opportunity to stand on the platform and twirl and get all the angles. So happy we found this store! We will definitely be back . Oh, and they offer to pay a deposit , then the rest at pick up, and even offer layaway if someone needed/wanted to . Great affordable dresses to allow every girl to be a princess!

Her Pretty Things Boutique is such a sweet little gem in downtown Lodi. The space feels cozy but…read morethoughtfully curated. You can tell someone really cares about what goes on those racks and shelves. I loved the mix of feminine pieces with a little bit of bold energy. The blue polka-dot dress with oversized buttons was adorable, and the denim wall was chef's kiss. They carry Risen jeans, which are always a win. The sign that says "Know your worth, then add tax" made me laugh because, honestly, facts. They also have the cutest gift section. Mugs, affirmation items, mama merch, candles, self-care sprays, and even pink emergency car kits that say "Stay safe. Stay cute." It's the kind of place you walk into for one thing and leave with three because everything feels giftable. Great value. I also love that they host pop-ups with local businesses like Odyssey Coffee and Rising Soul Jewelry. If you're downtown Lodi and want something unique, fun, and thoughtfully styled, this is definitely worth a stop.

I've been here twice and I really like it. They are a more size inclusive store and they don't have…read moresizes in sections. Two women with very different bodies can get the same dress on the same rack. It is a boutique so it has boutique prices. They change the merch pretty often so there are a lot of choices. The vibe is a little more farm girl chic than I typically would like but its not over the top and it is a boutique in Lodi, it tracks. The staff are super friendly. I have purchased two dresses and top recently and they are all perfect and great quality. It's a little confusing about the name. I heard The "Lodi Collective" and I had the impression it was larger but its a small boutique and unfortunately has mostly empty storefronts around it. I really hope other cool little businesses go in on that block.

I've heard of the VICI outlet but have never been there. The first time I stepped into the retail…read morestore was in Walnut Creek a few years ago. It's perfect if you are looking for a trend item that is budget friendly. It's also aesthetically pleasing to the eye for an outlet store. The demographic skews towards the younger college age crowd and older women trying to be. But the find for all ages is if you need a trend accessory of the season, this is the place to go. The prices are excellent and it might be your next find for that trip to Vegas or NOLA. I scored a crochet handbag (wished I got the pink beaded clutch bag), a hat, $5 4th of July t-shirt and a sports bra. Out of the items I wished I had thrown back was the sports bra because the straps were oversized (it would have worked better with a cross back). Total spend was $40. When I checked out, the cashier told me that they receive new items on Fridays/Saturdays. I went on a Friday so I did good. There's ample parking and it's in a business park. Definitely worth checking out!

As you drive there, it's sort of hidden, towards the back of the building. There's no sign attached to the outlet, but you'll see a single door open that leads into the warehouse. The worker was so helpful while I was there, always asking if we needed anything and offering to find sizes. From our convo, I learned that VICI sells a mix of their own clothes and other brands and are usually sold online or at retailers like Nordstrom. It seems like the brand isn't very size inclusive though, I mostly saw XS-M. Fitting rooms are plentiful and easy to go in and out of. You might have to dig around to find something you like, but I'm so happy with my grabs! I've been wearing them nonstop and the quality seems fantastic.

If you have health problems or are high risk, I do not advise shopping at this store. The staff…read moreseemed quite smug and snooty when I mentioned that their not wearing a mask was disrespecting their customers. Even with my breathing and heart problems I respected them enough to wear one. I used a very polite tone because I wasn't trying to start an argument. I believe this attitude will hurt their business and I wont be the only one to walk out in fear of their disregard for any safety protocol. I did not feel safe at all and did not see any attempt to limit customers in the store or signs of social distancing protocol. If you are unhealthy or high risk, these things are very important to you. Many elderly people have money to spend at boutique and not catering to them (by running around without a mask) is surely going to hurt a business that is likely already struggling from months of closure. Even Kohls staff are wearing masks to keep customers safe, but the level of service at Stella Mitchell couldn't even reach that of a large department store. I'd hoped to treat myself with an overpriced dress to help support a struggling local shop. I'd expect far better treatment and care for the customers than I received.
