Fashion Gal is located inside the Wal-Mart shopping center. I stepped into Fashion Gal while…read morewaiting for my car to get unlocked as I accidentally locked my keys in the truck. Somehow, I ended up with my wallet, so what better time to shop? Fashion Gal has a lot of trendy clothes, and I've been wanting to update some pieces in my wardrobe, so I took a lap around. Unfortunately, a lot of the clothing had cheap/thin material and high prices. However, directly to the left of the store - upon entering - was a clearance section. The items ranged from about $3 to $20 in the clearance section plus there was an additional discount on some of the items. I looked at a cute blue dress that I wasn't sure I wanted, wandered away, found out they have dressing rooms, and went back to try on the dress, where I found a cuter, fitter, smaller lady eyeing it. I watched, eagle eyed, as she lifted it up from the rack to check it out and eventually put it back. I bolted over and grabbed it, trying it on in the dressing room. It fit and looked really nice! Score! It cost $5! I've wandered in here a few times after shopping at Wal-Mart to look in the clearance racks for more nice, discounted clothes. I found a pretty dress (but had cheap material) for $3, a cute skirt skirt for $3, and romper for $3. Everything was also discounted for another 20%, so I walked away with three cute items of clothing for less than 10 bucks! Usually I now only look in the clearance section, then I'm out when I find nothing I like. Everything else in the store is a little overpriced for my tastes, but I definitely was excited to find some cute pieces. And it's a good way to hype up yourself up for going into the busy Wal-Mart shopping center to do some essential shopping when you know needless and fun shopping at Fashion Gal is next!

During my most recent getaway trip to Ventura, I made two visits.....the first visit, I found a woven straw fedora-trilby, the Circa 1921, to top off an olive-green Hawaiian shirt I purchased from a different store just a short time earlier. The second visit, I got a pecan-brown Scala Outback Hat. Both Amberlee and Jenny were such a great help; they are real assets to your store. Thank you, Amberlee, Jenny and the Wharf!!!

This is one of those rare shops where women at any stage of life can find high quality pieces that feel comfortable, effortless, and truly wearable for everyday life. Most items fall in the $30-$75 range, which makes supporting local feel accessible and realistic. I have made a commitment over the past few years to support local businesses instead of big corporations, and I am genuinely grateful we have a shop like this in Ventura, especially as so many retail spaces are disappearing. The vibe is cozy, cottagecore meets laid back beach town energy, perfectly fitting for downtown Ventura. Warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated without trying too hard. The kind of place where everything works together, which is honestly a little dangerous. Ashley and Melanie are absolute gems. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in helping you find something that feels like you. Never pushy, never salesy. You can tell they care about the shop and the experience, and it shows. They also carry a small mini-me collection, Sin Min products that smell amazing and feel great, plus jewelry, accessories, and small home decor and stationery pieces that make perfect gifts. The horchata lip balm alone is worth stopping in for. Whether you're shopping in person on Main Street or online, Tiki Girl is a solid go-to when you want something cute, comfortable, and very Ventura. Always support local. Your closet will thank you.

Not usually my kind of style but super cute nonetheless. I have found some fun country styled tees and today I found the most perfect embroidery cocktail tee that I had to snag it. The store is spacious and clothing is nicely laid out. I appreciate that they have multiple fitting rooms and comfortable ones at that. Easy to navigate this store and they do a good job of rotating different trends and styles. The day we came in they also had a good variety of a sizes that I could appreciate. Pricing was fair. As they claim they have different wears between $20-$70. I found that to be true. My shirt was $55 but again nice detailing and unique. Staff was friendly but also not overdone. I appreciate that they give you a hello and then kind of leave you to look the store on your own. However when we did have questions the gal was helpful. Good vibes. Definitely a cute store and it's nice to have a clothing store downtown that tailors to different styles and sizes. While I haven't bought a lot here over the years, when I do find something it's quality and cute, all you could ask for.

She went on and on about a place we had already enjoyed. 2. I sat down because I have a condition that makes standing up for too long to cause me pain, while my friend shopped. The same clerk asked if my friend, who looks nothing like me and is a couple of years older than me, was my daughter. This all made me feel so bad and highly insulted that I had to write a bad review. I wonder if this clerk is the owner. Maybe try a more positive and polite way to interact with your customers. I wish my friend had not bought anything from them. I know I didn't!!!

I paid someone 20 dollars to drive me from Ojai, to her shop with the assumption we were still honoring our deal just to be told she wasn't interested and only wanted to purchase a few of the items we had originally agreed upon. I would not recommend her for any time of business and my experience was a waste of time. Not only did I pay someone to take me their, I literally paid the driver more than what I was able to pocket.
