It stocks a range of colorfully designed and illustrated tops and shirts to inspire your new summer look. There are also a range of accessories including bags and pendants – as well as shoes.
Or pick something new for the house from Maven’s home range.
Rica Boutique
Rica Boutique is ideal if you’re looking for that laid-back look. Self-described as wanting to blend surfer-girl with bohemian chic, this store slides right into the SoCal vibe of La Jolla.
Owner Erica Alexander grew up in the neighborhood, before moving to Manhattan and later returning to open her own store among the other reputable boutiques in San Diego.
You’ll find quirky and comfortable new clothes in her store.

Frock You Vintage
For 15 years Frock You Vintage has sat just north of Balboa Park, supplying clothes, shoes, and accessories sourced mostly from between the 1920s and 1980s.
You’re bound to find something unique here, whether it’s a new shirt, jewelry or accessories. And it’s interesting to think about where the clothes came from – who wore that top back in 1930?
Mimi & Red
Mimi & Red sells high-end clothing at reasonable prices. On-trend rompers and jumpsuits are on sale next to more traditional dresses, so whatever look you like – there are plenty of choices.
Be sure to check out its cool range of sunglasses (‘sunnies’ in Cali lingo).
There are pink and orange tinted lenses on show, as well as funky hexagonal frames and cool aviator-style glasses. Most are very affordable – but there are a few more luxurious options if you’d like to treat yourself.
If you need a hint on what to choose, check out its look books. These offer an insight into how the catalog looks when worn out and about.
