Do not shop here! My husband bought a bunch of Christmas items and when we went to exchange some of the items, were denied because the holidays had passed. Such a joke, and the staff were rude. We donated everything and will not return. If you want to shop local, go the the Red Balloon, the staff are super helpful, nice, and they have better brands.

Common Thread constantly saves me! Most of the time, I just don't have the time (or energy) to get to south coast or fashion island. I've popped in to just browse, or when I need a gift or before I go on a trip. I shopped with Michelle for an upcoming trip yesterday and she killed it. I told her I only wear black and I wanted pieces that I could wear even after the trip and she curated perfect pieces and helped me so much. Jen also nails it every time I go in! These babes are the sweetest. I will be back for holiday gifts and obviously on VIP days :)

Worth the drive from south OC!! I discovered this adorable boutique today in a quest for some bump friendly summer dresses and was super impressed with the quality of merchandise and the willingness of everyone in the store to help pull styles for me! Their prices are relatively reasonable but what I love most is their inventory. I joined the VIP program for $50 per year that gives you a 25% discount on the first and last day of the month. Can't wait to come back and grow my cute and casual wardrobe!

I can't say enough positive things about this store! They have an amazing selection of clothing, accessories and gifts at very reasonable prices. The customer service is second to none, and the employees are the loveliest group of women you'll ever meet! If I have any sort of special occasion or trip that requires a new outfit, Common Thread is my one stop shop and I always leave with something killer that scores me a ton of compliments! I swear they have breathed new life into my wardrobe in the last year! Stop by the last day and first day of every month for a store-wide sale - your

This is a really cute store. I always find cute tees, denim, Gorjana jewelry and dresses here. I was pleased to see they just got in L*Space bikinis!
I like shopping local and supporting small businesses.
I visited this shop after they re-opened after the quarantine. I was pretty surprised only one of the employees was wearing a masks. Masks are for the benefit of other people, not yourself, so to me it shows you respect other people. I understand you can't force customers to wear them, but I feel like employees should. Idk, I guess it just rubbed me a little bit the wrong way.

This store is adorable with a great selection of jeans, booties, dresses, tops, purses, hats, tote bags and jewelry. I saw so many things that would make great gifts. I could spend hours in here browsing around but then I would spend way too much money! The sales help here is great, they ask if you need help and then let you browse around to your hearts content. I follow the Common Thread IG account and the owner updates it almost everyday with the cutest outfits that make me want to buy, buy BUY!
The prices are reasonable for a Newport/Costa Mesa area boutique and the selection is fab, there

My friend and I just had to go in and we were hooked!! We must have been there for an hour!
They were having a sale and found some dresses, blouses, and Dolce Vita boots!!! They have limited jewelry but you don't need more than the Gorjana fine jewelry!!!
The store was well lit, clean and organized! The ladies were very helpful and were quick to reserve a dressing room once we had a few items in hand.
They carry nice clothing brands and it comes with the price....expensive but good quality.

I loved this shop when this was Xpecting. My review is solely based on the store being a good maternity option. It does have super cute (pricey yet good quality) clothing for the non expecting woman! However, I went in for the first time 2 weeks ago after the store name change and was so disappointed at the selection of maternity clothes. I wanted nice summer clothes and with it being May, thought they would be loaded and not much at all. The only dresses they had were non fitting ones which aren't very flattering with a pregnant belly! Much more of a selection when I was pregnant with my

Ok, so first things first:
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR EXPECTING MOM'S!
This store is so cute and the owner, which I didn't ask but she seemed like the owner, Brandy was so great and helpful and not not in your face at all. The clothes they have are absolutely adorable and adorable. I don't know why this boutique has 3 $, it's not that expensive plus they have deals all the time. Great for gifts, thanks you gifts even and sparkle up your closet with some good trendy but not too expensive dresses, tops or bottoms!
Really cute fun store! Well merchandised with enough space to look

I love this shop! From when I walked in I was greeted so kindly and asked if I needed help. Which I always do in clothing stores! This time I was shopping for my baby shower dress and the ladies who helped me grabbed a bunch of dresses of all styles that could fit my small stature and I was ready to start trying everything on. I really like all the different styles of clothing here. And the clothes are not just for while you are pregnant. The dress I found I can wear when I no longer have a baby in my belly so I'm thrilled bc it's super cute!
The prices are affordable and I loved a

This store was really fantastic. After giving birth via c-section to twins, the hospital was out of pumps to rent so they gave me the number to Xpecting. On my very exciting first trip home from the hospital with the boys, I stopped by there to pick up the pump and the staff was very kind, quick, and brought the pump out to my car for me.
Later the pump broke and they were very kind about exchanging it and brought it to you car again since I was trying to figure out how to push a stroller in my sleep deprivation and kept running into their clothing racks and stuff. Must have been a sad and funny

I found this store when I was pregnant...a year after delivering my son I am still shopping there. They carry cute stuff, the service is great and they host great events. It's a great shop for when you're pregnant and when you're not. I tell all my pregnant friends about Xpecting and they all love shopping there too.

I got a gift from a friend that was purchased here and I came in to swap out a couple items for different colors and at checkout I had a balance of $2.15 as credit. I asked the gal at the counter to just give me the cash back and after talking to the owner they denied my request. Its a LAW that if a credit is under $10 and a customer requests it paid back in cash that you have to give it. I pulled up the law information on my phone and showed the sales clerk but she still refused. It's $2.15, there's nothing in your store I could even buy with that and it's against the law not to
