Robina

What a miserable wretch of a person Robina is & it's no wonder the only company she can keep is her dogs. She really needs to get her parking situation in order, as it's causing untold grief until now... so you've been forewarned! more

A friend of mine who visits San Diego regularly told me I must go to this boutique. Let me preface this by telling you that I dislike shopping for three main reasons: 1) I am always second-guessing my taste and feel I don't know how to assemble an outfit; 2) I hate parting with money; 3) I feel like clothes don't look good on my because I'm not confident about my body shape/size. I walked into this boutique with limited time, and Robina immediately sized me up and just started handing me things to try on. She instantly found flattering jeans, tops and accessories that will mix and match with ease. She showed me how to wear them, what to layer, how to tie the scarf, where to put the belt, and set me up with some amazing shoes. She made me feel like a million dollars, and for that, I don't mind parting with some cash. She also worked fast and because I was traveling, offered to have the items shipped to me (which also allowed her time to hem the jeans). I am now wearing these clothes with confidence and getting compliments on everything. I will come back every time I'm in the area. Thank you, Robina! more

As someone who used to work in a boutique, I have always been VERY picky about the stores I shop in. I love boutique shopping, but sometimes find it to be disappointing...be it poor customer service, or a lack of selection. When I was in La Jolla a few weeks ago I came across Robina. I can honestly say it is probably the best boutique I have EVER been in! They have a fabulous selection of all my favorite designers like Rachel Pally, Tom Nguyen, Red Engine, Rozae Nichols...and the list goes on. The owner and manager were very friendly, knowledgable, and were great at helping me put together fun, sophisticated, and flattering outfits that I love! When they didn't have a size I needed, they went out of their way and offered to special order it for me. Shopping at Robina was probably one of the best shopping experiences I've had, and I recommend this store to everyone! more
