The 16-foot mobile shop is stocked full of summer essentials like linen tees, cotton crops, tencel drawstring shorts, jumpers, open weave sweaters, and so much more. And this shopping experience is unlike any other – on board, you will find custom sky lights, a large passanger side display window, the perfect size dressing room, and an ocean print floor (my favorite!) that is inspired by the brand’s Malibu location.

I was beyond thrilled to shop the latest collection and I found a bunch of pieces that will definitely be my Summer staples! Here are my top five picks that I can’t wait to wear…

1. Scoop Neck High Lop Linen Top $84 / 2. Drawstring Waist Short $98 / 3. Scoop Neck Crop $58

4. Tencel Bottom Banded Pant $158 / 5. Pop Band Fedora Hat $34

Be sure to shop the Michael Stars mobile boutique this weekend as it will be in town tentatively until June 10th. Today the shop is curbside in Manhattan Beach and tomorrow it rolls onto Larchmont. Follow @michaelstarsinc on Instagram for up-to-date details and more locations!

Happy shopping!

Originally opening on Melrose, this Los Angeles gem relocated about a year and a half ago to 3rd Street, one of the cutest shopping destinations in the city. With a modern and eye catching store front, this boutique is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.

Beckley has an open and airy feel with huge windows, concrete flooring and floating racks that hang from the ceiling.  The new space is a one-stop shop for clients and neighborhood friends selling everything from lingerie and evening gowns to skincare and mascara. Be prepared to find some of your favorite designers like Phillip Lim, Opening Ceremony and See by Chloe along with a few that you might not know, but will definitely fall in love with.  (Have you heard of O’2nd? It is gorgeous!). In addition, Beckley carries some of the best jewelry and accessories around including Eddie Borgo, Shy by Sydney Evan and Clare Vivier. Trust me, it’s hard to walk out of here empty handed!

And be sure to check out the house brand, Beckley By Melissa, designed by boutique owner, Melissa Akkaway. Created from luxe fabrics, this season includes rompers, leather leggings, jackets and one of my favorites, an off-the-shoulder neoprene sweatshirt.

Closet Rich is “curated fashion consignment,” meaning, this is your online destination for some seriously amazing pre-loved pieces. Elizabeth Kott, founder of the web shop, hand picks each piece from the fashionable closets of private clients — many of whom you know, but shall remain nameless.  Full of current designers and plenty of vintage, Closet Rich offers an array of clothing, accessories, handbags, shoes, sunglasses and so much more. I spoke to Elizabeth and asked her to share her top picks for you to shop on the site right now.

1. Coach / 2. Vintage Valentino / 3. Equipment / 4. Max Mara / 5. Alexander Wang / 6. Chloe / 7. Vintage Dress

Just to note, Closet Rich offers returns within 3 days (amazing!), has flat rate shipping of $10, and you can even pay/pick up in person at their LA showroom — just in case you need it for this weekend. And post shopping, be sure to check out the hysterically funny and fashionable videos Elizabeth has added to the site.

Happy online shopping friends!

Caudalie is known for its skincare products and treatments created from the grapes and stalk of French vineyards (think Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne), which is music to my ears!  The boutique was built with those elements in mind featuring a “Beauty Barrel” which is where clients can discover products along with creating a customized “Fresh Crushed Cabernet Scrub”. Caudalie also offers (by appointment) signature facials and mani’s/pedi’s using eco-natural nail lacquer, Kure Bazaar.

The Caudalie collection has a wide variety products focusing on anti-aging, firming, radiance, anti-dark spot, and moisturizing regimens that, as I tested at the store, feel good on the skin and smell amazing. (Try the Divine Oil – I am in love!) Needless to say, not only do I have another reason to drink a glass of Bordeaux tonight, but I will be adding Caudalie to my daily beauty regimen!

The Parisian brand, known for their luxurious and easy-to-wear basics, set up shop in their current West Hollywood location (pictured above) almost 7 years ago. Soon thereafter, designers like Kelly Wearstler, Theory, Helmut Lang, Joie, and Vera Wang followed suit in surrounding Melrose locations making the shopping destination what it is today. Now, A.P.C. is packing up shop and literally moving around the corner to Melrose Place – 8420 Melrose Place to be exact! The new space is 3,000 square feet and sits with neighbors like Isabel Marant, Equipment, Chloe, Oscar De La Renta and more. Construction is going on now and the boutique is set to open April, so stay tuned for updates!
