Allison by the Beach is the best boutique in all of Manhattan Beach and the surrounding areas. Owner, Allison Thompson, is a style maven who knows how to make any woman look her best from age 20-65. I recently visited and walked away with 4 or 5 items that I can't wait to wear. She carries Hammitt handbags, TAG denim and loads of other designers. Many local jewelry designers are represented as well. Stop by this gem of a shop soon. You won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite stores in Manhattan Beach is Allison By the Beach. They carry great, high quality brands. I find it hard to walk in to browse without walking away with a cute top or a slinky silky dress. The jewelry is fabulous as well...many unique pieces. The best part about Allison By the Beach is.....Allison! She is so cool, not push, gives opinions when asked ("How does this look....be honest"). I love that she carries brands, such as Parker. It's tough to walk out empty handed!!!!

In my first review of Allison by the Beach, I wrote that I don't splurge on clothes very often. That has changed significantly since finding this store! I love their clothes and have started a great collection in my closet (many with tags on still!). What is so amazing about Allison and her staff is that they really try to get to know their clients. Allison will email me very specific items she just received - It's like having a personal shopper! I'm officially addicted. Actually, I've been addicted since day one.

Not naming specific places, but I've enter into stores or boutiques and received snobby treatment. Allison by the Beach is now my official place to splurge for my dress addiction. The store itself is super cute. It's very organized and neatly decorated. Not to mention it has the cutest dresses, tops, and jewelry. Allison, the owner, is a style guru. I've only met her once so far but she treats customers like friends. She emails me to inform me of new shipments, offers to hold my dresses in my size, and all the while never pushy and very honest about the way it fits on me. I will be shopping with her for a long, long time.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: I can now see it will be hard for me to save money! - Miquelle M.Signal Hill, CA1217Aug 6, 2012
Compared to all the other boutiques in the vicinity, they carry the most unique, eyecatching pieces. Their staff was very friendly and knowledgable about accessorizing and their store is clean and well-organized. I would recommend stopping here before trying any other boutique in Manhattan Beach. I can't wait to go back!

Best store in town! The owner is a doll. She is so generous to our community and gives to many local causes. The clothing and jewelry are eye catching, unique, priced well, and add a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. I highly suggest checking out this amazing treasure of a boutique!

Allison by the Beach is one of my most favorite stores in MB!! I always check out the amazing jewelry collections they have, as the designs changes weekly! Catherine Max is one of my favs!! They also carry the Krisa linen pants that I basically live and sleep in! They are truly amazing and she has the greatest color selection!! I think I own like over 10 pair! Allison and Katie are so helpful and friendly!! I highly recommend dropping in, you won't be disappointed:)

I swung by this store on a recommendation of a friend. Allison, the owner, is amazing! I spoke to her for a few minutes about my upcoming vacation. Allison then proceed to pull out tons of clothes for me to try on. She was spot on in figuring out what I liked and what would look good on me. I ended up buying about 2 tops, 2 dresses, 1 pants, scarf/wrap & a bracelet and loved everything I bought!

Love, love, love!!! This is one of my all time favorite places to shop. The hand picked pieces by Allison herself are fun, edgy, current and not your typical pieces that are bought in bulk that you see on everyone around town. I can always find something for any given event or trip I have planned. She has made packing and choosing an outfit for any function that I have such a joy! I honestly love that she gets to know each of her clients and recommends pieces that will flatter each individual, she truly is a gem and Manhattan Beach is lucky to have her!

I strolled into Allison by the Beach last Sunday and was blown away by her amazing collection of clothes and jewelry! I literally loved everything in the store!! She had some beautiful long dresses and skirts that were fabulous for the season, plus all of her jewelry was gorgeous!!! Perfect addition to Manhattan Beach!
