Vintage Americana: "What Goes Around, Comes Around" in Hollywood
There is no substitute for the real thing. Vintage Fashion, always a staple in Hollywood, takes an authentic turn in "What Goes Around, Comes Around" a Soho NYC boutique that has arrived on Hollywood. This shop, it feels like a general store from a small town, say, Paris, Texas. Authentic cowboy boots line the shelves, leather pants, vests, and other western style staples are there, artfully arranged in corners of the shop in fashion scenarios. Truth is, when you go the the Ralph Lauren boutiques, you're looking at his fabulous fakes. Not here. These boots, jackets, denims, and other western classics are totally authentic, and, star-worthy. With a few surprises like Vintage 80s club wear, 70's DVF, or India Imports and more this boutique is the "Best of" your high school or college memories. Prices are comparable to other higher-end vintage boutiques, after all, this isn't your mother's closet. This boutique is off Hollywood Blvd near Cahuenga Blvd. in an upscale re-fitted location sharing space with Urban Outfitters, a bookstore and a hamburger joint. Mind you, while you are sipping designer beers, wearing your authentic cowboy boots and sporting your original denims, you might think you're James Dean, just for a moment.

Cinderella comes out for Spring: Dreamy Dresses and Divine Shoes
Just an everyday gown and fabulous shoe for you to dream about this spring. Of course, simple white linens, your favorite jeans or chic black or navy work as well, but who wouldn't want to enter a room in diamonds from head to toe? The gown is made of exquisite layers of re-embroidered lace, with stones, crystals and sparkling beads that come together in something quite special. Sitting in its place in the window, complete with chandelier to light its finery, it waits, silently, hoping for the right girl to arrive to bring it to life to the sounds of a faint violin, a grand staircase, and, a pumpkin coach that awaits.
