Smitten, surprisingly was open and very inviting to the eye. Let me tell you, this little place is a gem. There are so many cute items that make you say awww or that's cool. They have dresses and outfits for adults, a little bit of clothing for kids, some accessories, jewelry, toys, stuffed animals, books, trinkets, seasonal and house decor, bath and body, and a sale section priced at $25. Not bad for pricing, especially being in Laguna Beach. I am confused as to how to rate this place though. Why? Well, the store is my cup of tea and the prices were pretty good, but I didn't feel comfortable being there. A more mature lady was there, and while I stood around straight, I was left alone. As soon as I would lean over to look at something, she would come over as if she was "fixing" the inventory and literally watch me, my hands, like I was going to take something without paying. It felt so weird. I wanted to buy a little lip balm called bitchstix cause I thought it was funny, but i was quite turned off by this and decided against it. I was saved by the bell when the family called me to go over to pick my gelato across the hall. Due to the experience, I am taking this 4 star rating to a 3. Would I return? Possibly. Smitten, really is a cute place to shop, but if she is the owner and or is there again and does the same, I would definitely not come back and would update this review.

BEWARE!!!!! BEWARE !!!!!! BEWARE!!!!…read more On October 11th of 2015 we have visited the store named The Vault Kids in Laguna Beach, CA and had a terrible experience which more reminds of a scam. My wife and 2 kids (8 and 1 years old) were inside the store and my son was trying some of their clothes while I was out of the store playing with my 3 years old daughter. After some time my 3 years old asked my wife to take her to the bathroom. So my wife left the store and when I entered the store for the first time I met a lady named Cindy who was still giving my son some clothes to try and then was stacking them at the register and telling me that my wife has chosen all that clothes and it was time to pay since she was closing the store. She mentioned that it's already late and she had to close the store 1 hour earlier. So I gave her my Citi Bank Debit Card in order not to make her stay longer and wait for my wife to comeback. Cindy didn't mention that the sales is final and there are no returns. Also, she saw that I was distracted by my 1 year old daughter who was crying after my wife and it's was extremely hard to manage to hold her and sign the receipt she gave me. She knew that I had no clew what my wife has chosen. When she gave me receipt for $577 and I was very surprised as I didn't expect such amount. I left the store to find my wife and ask why she chose clothes for such a big amount. And when we came back after 10 minutes the store was closed and Cindy was gone. My wife was shocked, she said she only wanted a pair of pants for my son. So in fact what happened is Cindy put in the bag whatever my son tried in the dressing room. My wife never approved clothes for that amount. We have decided that maybe Cindy made a mistake without knowing and came back the next day from Los Angeles to Laguna Beach to ask her to cancel the transaction. Her answer and attitude was as if she was well prepared for the conversation and she didn't seem to be surprised at all. When we explained her the situation, her only answer was: "You said to your son that he can have whatever he wants. Our corporate policy is 1-7 days store credit only". We told her that our son just recovered from cancer and $577 is never the budget to spend on clothes right now but Cindy was cold as stone and asked us to leave the store. Reading the reviews of The Vault in internet (there are The Vault Man, Woman and Kids in the same plaza) we understand that the techniques these vendors use are dishonest, fraudulent and they are aware of what they are doing. Cindy used the situation to her own benefit and basically used our son an 8 year old to sell all these items to without my wife's consent and approval. I have trusted her and payed her because we are honest hardworking people and I could never assume that a small mom and pap shop could be such a scam.
