clare vivier: our favorite bag calls los angeles home…

btq girl — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:27:00 +0000

…I am majorly obsessed with this boutique due to a little leopard bag that I am sure you have seen many times on Pinterest, Instagram, and countless blogs – the Clare Vivier fold-over clutch! (I also featured it in a “hello lover” post a few weeks back.) It’s the perfect size for day or night and complements any Fall ensemble. So when I found out the designer had a namesake store in Los Angeles filled not only with my leopard obsession, but her entire collection, it only took two seconds to get my keys and head out the door. Prepare yourself – this boutique is highly addictive …

The Clare Vivier boutique is a beautiful, corner shop on Sunset Boulevard harboring big windows that fill the store with light. The white wall back drop offers an open and airy feel, giving the shop a clean canvas to display each of the locally made bags. From clutches and messengers to travel totes and sacs, you can’t help but fall in love with the gorgeous vibrant colors and unexpected textures. (The grey basket weave is beyond!) Displayed with French books, delicate jewelry from local designers, and other unique accessories, Clare Vivier has created a boutique that combines California cool with a touch of Parisian chic.

Now if you don’t live in LA – no need to worry! Clare Vivier has an amazing online boutique that features all of the bags you would find in the store. And don’t forget the monogram – only takes about a week and adds that special personalized touch.

Happy shopping!

I am obsessed with the Clare Vivier foldover clutch – it is not only the perfect accessory to any outfit, it is definitely a must-have for Fall!

drum roll please: city target to open this sunday in the beverly connection…

btq girl — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:40:42 +0000

…now I know Target is not considered a boutique, but I love this retailer and all the collabo’s they do. And this Sunday, March 10th, a CITY target is about to land in the middle of LA! This will be the third location of it’s kind – the first in Westwood and the second Downtown…

So how is a “City” Target different than a regular target? Well, it is basically a downsized version of a traditional Target store (99,000 sq ft to be exact) and it was created to accommodate urban cities that don’t have the space for the larger format. It will still offer that one-stop-shop convenience, but without the bulkier items like patio furniture, bikes, etc.

Go check out the store this weekend as my fingers are crossed they might have a nice little section of Prabal Gurung – the latest in exclusive designer collections!

btq girl — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:10:38 +0000

…oooh do we have some fun things for you! It’s middle of the week which means two things – 1. we need a little shopping fix and 2. we need to get ready for any weekend plans. (Easter vaca?!?) So to take care of both, here are a few things for us to indulge in…

***Ron Herman Exclusive Launch of Paige + Liberty London collabo!

just launched

Paige, my hands down favorite go to for all things denim, has teamed up with London luxury department store, Liberty, to create an on trend collection of their signature printed denim. Ron Herman has the first 3 styles exclusively available for YOU! This is a no brainer – with Spring coming on strong and Coachella just a tad over a week a way, you need to get your hands on the Silverlake Shorts in the Keighly print…

at ron herman only!

***LNA Sample Sale – another no brainer!

You can never have too many tee’s especially when they are from this coveted brand. The sale is in full effect at the LNA Warehouse and will be open today until 5pm and tomorrow from 9am to 5pm. Get over there and load up!

lna warehouse: 6344 arizona circle. los angeles. 90045

***Buttons & Bows launch party tomorrow night!

Thanks to our friends over at Racked LA, we learned about this amazing boutique. Created by Monique Aquino and Karen Marley, this Downtown LA consignment shop will offer “more bang for your buck” with a well edited assortment of some new, second-hand and vintage pieces. Pop in tomorrow night for some cocktails, treats, music, and fab finds to help welcome this new boutique to the neighborhood…
