Stumbled onto this awesome boutique while looking for some ROAM shoes online. I’m already back with another order because they have such cool things. I wish I could visit in person. I got my shoes quickly and at a great price. Will be shopping here online often!

I had come down to Cardiff for my cousin's engagement party and when I got to my air bnb I realized I hadn't put my suitcase in the car. Panicked, I Googled "boutiques near me" and this was the first one that came up. Lucky me. I couldn't have asked for a better place to help me through my crisis. Not only is the store super cool, but the women who work there were so kind and helpful, especially Cindy! The worst part was having to choose only just a couple things to get me through the weekend. Everything in this store is so well curated - I wish I could have bought it all. And they even had an apothecary section so I could replace my face wash and lotion with the yummiest products. Needless to say, I got the best compliments on my outfits that weekend. I highly recommend ditching your wardrobe and coming here for a new one. Oh, and don't sleep on the kids section - was able to get the cutest little gifts for my niece and nephew while I was here, as well.

I love everything about Sea + Wander, and it's my first stop for skin care, clothing, and gifts. The products I've learned about have been life-changing, and I find beautiful clothing and jewelry that no one else has.This store is carefully curated, and every item in inventory is an absolute gem.I've been shopping here regularly for almost a year, and all of the employees are sweet, kind, and helpful - they even give my dog treats and call him by name. In particular, Kay is one of our favorites! She always makes me feel great when I come in and has helped me put together some of my favorite outfits.Whether you're shopping for a gift or a special treat to spoil yourself, make Sea + Wander your first (and only) stop.

Sea & Wander is amazing store. Really a little hidden with a fabulous staff. In particularly Ms. Kay with whom I've been shopping with for many years.Kay has amazing eye for what will look amazing on you. She goes above and beyond, when new items come in she will immediately notify you. Sea & Wander is not just a clothing store with jewelry, cosmetics, gifts, and shoes, but you come out with a extended family/friend community connections. What a delight it is shopping with them.

Sea + Wander is the highest quality women's boutique in San Diego. Not only in terms of the type of brands they carry but the quality of service from the employees. There is a unique type of culture at Sea + Wander between the employees and customers that really make the experience shopping here so special and positive unlike other North County boutiques.

I really don't post reviews unless it's life changing or egregious service. Unfortunately, this review is the latter and everyone should take note of it. I would like to first off admit that I made a mistake to not read the return policy that says this boutique does not allow returns, I will take the blame on that one. I had seen this boutique's items from other retailers with customer friendly return policy's and thought it would be the same. I purchased the $395 Kylee Bandage Knit dress - truly a stunning dress... if I was 6'0 and 120lbs. Though I am not, I am 5'0 with a lot of curves. When I got the dress my plan was to do with it what I do with every article of clothing - GO GET IT HEMMED. Unfortunately, I was told my SEVERAL tailors to not hem this item because it basically will reconstruct the dress and may never look the same again. I was out of options as I purchased an expensive dress and needed a new one for my upcoming graduation. I called the first manager, Allison, who was pretty understanding and had great social skills. She said she understands I'm in a bad position and it's horrible that the dress can't be hemmed and she was going to try and find a tailor to hem it and instead of me returning it I could at least get it hemmed, I awaited her phone call. The following day I get a call from CINDY. And please imagine the worst customer service phone call that could occur, and it was with CINDY. After several minutes of bravado, she told me that people who are 5'0 should not be purchasing dresses like this. Not sure what the point of the comment there was. She said over and over again in a nutshell that her OWN TAILORS she spoke with said that it is almost impossible to hem and if it is hemmed the zipper won't work. She said that she doesn't want to take responsibility in case the dress does not get hemmed correctly. All in all, Cindy did not care to work with her clients. She was unempathetic, immature, rude, and honestly sounded really uneducated. She ended the phone call with saying that her boss would be worse to talk to because her boss (the owner) does not care about my situation. Again, not sure how this helps the businesses case. All in all, I understand the return policy I do. But to (1) have an item that is not eligible for returns that literally cannot be hemmed; and (2) have a beyond horrible customer service representative to deliver this bad news who had no intention of trying to work with the client is a recipe to make sure me and none of my friends ever shop from this boutique. I support small businesses, but even I can tell you that for small businesses to grow you have to be customer service oriented. Losing several customers, having bad reviews, and perhaps even a report to the Better Business Bureau is certainly not worth the $395 Kylee dress. Please stay away from this business, especially it you don't have a super model body type, Cindy will let you know that this is not the store for you!

I stopped in yesterday and dropped some serious cash but everything here is so unique. The wonder travels throughout Europe and also has a lot of great bags & jewelry made by local artists. This is definitely a must shop and also worth traveling to. I bought a gold & enamel bracelet, a diamond stacking ring, a dress that I'll wear all summer long, a cashmere & fur trim poncho (on sale) sone mother jeans and a leather belt bag with studs. They also have fabulous coffee table books, and a wonderful selection of fragrance. I could've done even more damage but was trying not to go completely crazy. I was a personal shopper in NYC so I am picky & I give this shop a A+++

This boutique is all the SWOOOOONs. I want one of everything and when I hit the lottery, I'm coming in and clearing the place out. Till then, I'll snag a signature piece or two (okay or three) when I'm in the neighborhood. Also I'll give kudos for their social media, which always makes me smile. It's fun and fashionable and is very coastal NoCo vibe. I particularly like them for denim and super unique shoes they stock. Although a bit pricey, I would say its a great spot to treat yourself with products that will last and wear well. Big ups for the small kids section: This is my go to for special baby gifts or unique kids items - if you need something charming for a special mini, highly recommend. Parking is in Cardiff, best of luck ;)
