In January I visited friends and family in the LA area. I arrived with a long list of swoon-worthy boutiques that I had been lusting after on Instagram, and a plan to visit them all. The edit and curation in each of these stores was so on point, and my shopping experiences gave me some serious inspiration for opening my own shop one day. Below is the list of the shops I visited, as well as some pretty goodies I couldn't go home without ...
GENERAL STORE (my favorite!) / Venice / ceramic container with cork lid, shibori handkerchief & potholder
INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY STORE / Atwater Village, LA / clay ring & Mary Meyer candle
MIXED BUSINESS LA / Silverlake / stunning drop-crotch linen pants and a black cape dress (not pictured)
SPITFIRE GIRL / Melrose / sassy matches
MELROSE FLEA MARKET / Melrose / no purchases, but ran into an ex-boyfriend from high school in New Jersey!
