BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

Right next to my fave neighborhood nail salon, Lanny Nails, and across the street from the lofts I blogged about sometime back, Joseph Walker boutique has opened at 8317 1/2 Beverly Boulevard. The shop, with its boudoir interior awash in robin’s egg blue, hails from the east from the faraway land of Eagle Rock. I know, I know, Eagle Rock is coming up… very slowly. Joseph Walker is a welcomed mid-priced addition to the ‘hood, stocked with signature Joseph Walker flouncy skirts and tops, lots of selections from Free People, super soft cotton tops from Charlotte, always girly Soundgirl, Johnny Was dresses and embroidered tops, Antik denim, and fun dresses in a pleasingly vibrant palette from new line Olive Percival. Prices range from $50-$300, with gifty soaps and tanks retailing for less. Be sure to find the necklaces, earrings, and broaches from local designer Vilaiwan (mostly, $50-$150, pictured bottom).
