I love having this little boutique store close by. The presentation really gives a nice aura to it. Super cute clothes and they’re affordable! The pricing is just about the same as Forever 21’s, give or take.
But customer service sucks. I’ve been here a few times and it always sucks every time. There is a brunette woman maybe in her late 20’s/early 30’s and she is just ridiculously stuck up. Walking around with her head high not even acknowledging anyone. Gives a horrible feel to a store with such cute clothes. But the man who works here has always been nice and friendly so the stars go to him and the clothes.
If you can endure the lack of customer service for the extremely cute clothes then this store will be fine for you.

I love finding new clothing stores with a boutique feel and I’m all about supporting small businesses! I came across this store last Sunday, I saw the mannequins and I knew they’d have trendy up to date apparel.
When I walked in I felt it was a little too quiet for my taste. The energy seemed drab compared to the holiday excitement happening in other stores. I loved their hangers, the style of the clothing, very on trend and pieces I’ve been looking for. The prices are not comparable to F21 at all. Price point IS higher here but good luck finding these styles at F21! However, this IS a mall, so higher margins are obviously expected people! Other than that the store was very clean, neat and organized!
The reason for the 3 stars was the customer service. I’m a snob when it comes to that because I’ve worked in retail before! There were two other customers in the store, both talking about how much they loved the clothes. Then near the register there were two young employees just talking. So the customers soon exited. I walked around the entire store looking at what the stores had. Finally I found something on a mannequin I liked and i had to go ask an employee to help me find it. She started me a fitting room and then continued her conversation. I came out and neither of them acknowledged me so in that moment I decided to not purchase anything. I put the skirt back and left.
I felt bad for the business owners! I’d love to someday own my own boutique so I definitely need to watch out for employees like these two!

I ALWAYS drop by this store whenever I am at the Lakewood mall. This store is my absolute favorite. I have explored many small clothing shops since I do not enjoy large overwhelming places like forever 21 or even urban outfitters … This store has a very up to date taste. The clothing is like that of Free People/​/​Some Forever21 influence/​/​also some urban. I usually find something cute. It’s honestly my favorite store out of all the little shops at seal beach, up town whittier, and even at the Cerritos Town Center. I used to work at Forever21 so I dress pretty cute so this is NO joke people.
PROS:
1. This store is small and NOT overwhelming and crazy. Your feet will not be dead after you are done looking around for the sake of finding only one or two things like at F21.
2. The clothing is slightly better quality than that of most small shops with clothing that is similar in price.
3. It’s quiet, but not dead. I HATE when stores are blasting music so loud that you can literally feel it throughout your whole body. We aren’t in a club… we are looking for jeans for crying out loud!!!
4. The staff do not constantly try to ‘woo’ you or convince you to buy things you do not need. They let you graze and do your thing, which I really appreciate. I am a grazer.
5. The clothing is CHEAP! I am serious. It’s good enough quality to where it will last if you take care of it, but it’s not going to break your bank. I would compare the prices to that of F21! But they have clothing that is like that of FreePeople sometimes, which is my absolute favorite. I always pick those items up.
6. If you are a male and are looking for a dress for your girlfriend/​/​wife/​/​whoever it is, this place is a very easy spot to check out. It’s not going to be too hard to just pick a cute one and get the heck outta there!
CONS: (Why I am not giving 5 stars)
1. The dressing rooms have fabric draped styled «doors» instead of an actual doors that close completely, which has definitely led to me accidentally being seen! Some curious little toddlers were not expecting door #1 to have me trying on a pair of shorts behind it! Whoopsy! (It was a pretty funny experience)
2. The back of the store could have so much to offer, but unfortunately the store does not have a lot of variety regarding, hats, beanies, or jewelry. I am a huge fan of floppy hats or floppy fedora looking hats… but those are honestly hard to find anywhere a lot of the time so whatever. OH and this store doesn’t sell shoes… Or at least I haven’t seen any in the past two months.
3. Honestly I enjoy building relationships with the people who work at the small shops I choose to intentionally shop at and unfortunately the staff at this store have disappointed me with their lack of welcoming and honestly just addressing the fact that I am there. I am a regular so that is why I am saying this. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t wanna talk the whole time I am there or something weird like that, but there have been times where I have walked in and the staff just keep to themselves and only smile once I am up at the register. Make an effort to be friendly and welcoming and more people will enjoy their time at your shop! Know what I mean?
4. They only sell clothing for females, sorry fellas.
Anyways, I like this store a whole lot! You should DEFINITELY check it out!

I love this store! i always find something wear. I must say it’s the best store in that mall :)

I had been searching for a dress to wear on Thanksgiving and literally less than one minute in the store I found my dress! They had a bunch of cute pieces. Service was pretty friendly. Only thing was so/​so was the dressing room. It looked great with the curtains, but not great for privacy. So it was kind of uncomfortable changing clothes. Other than that I will definitely be back to do more shopping :)

I think some of the other reviewers are missing the point. It’s a rather small boutique, if you will, and one is not supposed to be overwhelmed by sales associates at a boutique. I bought several outfits specifically for my Hawaii trip, and I stop in anytime I’m at Lakewood Mall to pick up a unique piece. Bottom line, pay attention to the quality. Some items are great quality, others aren’t. However, I have been lucky to find great quality pieces for really great prices! I love the store. I hope they stick around.

This store has so many cute clothes! Love it! But the staff is rude. Not a fan of them. And it’s a little pricey but EVERYTHING is cute!

I love this store there are always cute rare pics! I go to the lakewood mall just for that store. They have clothes for ALL sizes! Love it!

This store reminds me of an expensive boutique. Whenever I walk into the store I always feel luxurious; it’s probably the high ceilings and the hangers on the clothes. The style is a mix between American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, and certain sections of Forever 21, with a vintage flair. In my opinion the clothes are really unique and super affordable. I know I can always find something cute here. I bought a sheer dusty pink button up shirt for only $ 25.

I luv this store you can always count on getting something cute. I was there last week and scored 3 cute dresses for the holiday parties that are coming up. The best part of all, they were all on sale. I luv their unique picks. i give this store two thumps up plus 5 stars. Luv it!

i am not a big fan of this store. the clothes are for super small people only and i think i would rather stick to forever 21.
as far as the staff goes two of the girls act very inappropriately and very unprofessional. they were not helpful at all nor did they welcome me into the store but they were very welcoming of their friends.
i hope people have better service than i did :(

The staff is on point, the clothes are all adorable. I hate the mall but will now make an exception for ADRI. Yes, they are that cute!

How much do I love the store? I drive from Brea to Lakewood Mall just to visit it. And so you don’t have to Google Maps it, it’s a 30-​mile drive.
If you like to shop at Urban Outfitters, but can’t always afford a $ 50 top, come here. If you like Forever 21 but find it overwhelming with their 100 different departments, come here.
It’s a very small store, so they don’t have the a very big, wide selection. And I think they have a specific style of clothing they sell, which I’m sorry but I can’t describe.
The staff was attentive and friendly, and the store was extremely neat even when I went there for Christmas Eve.
