Red Balloon

If you want something that has it all as far as clothing goes this is for sure the best boutique in Newport Beach! The best thing about it is that have such a great selection of not only kids clothing but great pieces for women as well. They also have great jewelry and accessories and honestly there is not a single thing in there that is not adorable! EVERYTHING is so cute! They keep things simple as far as what they offer and they have the best staples as far as clothing goes. Who ever buys for them has impeccable taste both for the children’s and the women.
MOST of the people that work there could not be friendlier. They are not too pushy, offer you suggestions without trying to sell you, and always say hello :) There are one or two women though that are not particularly warm– like they have almost made me feel guilty for returning things? That is the ONLY problem I have ever had with them as far as their staff goes. And they seem even colder because everyone else is so sweet.
Be prepared if you shop here that things are pretty pricey. They have great name brand things but if you are looking to get something on the cheaper side it does not exist. There is very little below $ 50. My favorite thing that they do is gift wrap with the most adorable paper so I always go there for gifts :)
Great store, great location, great taste and a great boutique to venture into if you are looking for clothing or gifts :)

Sweet!
This is the warehouse location for the high end Red Balloon Boutique in Costa Mesa. Essentially, they do not put items in the retail store on sale, they just send stuff they can’t sell to the warehouse, mark it down by 65%, and open the warehouse up to customers every Tuesday, Thursday and the 1^st Saturday of every month (9am-2:30pm). There are some really awesome deals on high end labels here.
The shop keeper told me that they generally get stuff trickling in on a weekly basis, but the large reloads come when the seasons change.
I really like that they have a great (albeit smaller) selection for little boys… On my last visit, I got a boatload of cute organic cotton stuff for dirt cheap! I’ll definitely keep this place on my list to visit once a month.
