Just a stone’s throw from Boy’s Town, i.e. the main drag of West Hollywood, lies one of the girliest nooks in Los Angeles: the 100 to 300 blocks of South Robertson Boulevard. On this lovely, tree-lined street, the girl-powerful—Cynthia Rowley, Kate Spade, Lisa Kline and Agnes B among others—offer their clever, imaginative and just damn cute designs. It’s where Los Angeles-style ladies who lunch, well, lunch. Early in the afternoon, model-actress-wannabes who’ve already scored a mogul emerge from lunch at the Ivy, and those who have yet to score troop out of the Newsroom Café. Both appear virtually indistinguishable, except for the indiscreet I-really-love-him baubles adorning the manicured fingers of the taken. These clusters of yoga-cized, self-tanned, pneumatically enhanced girls totter from shop to shop on their four-inch Jimmy Choos, looking for adorable, cleavage-enhancing slip-dresses. And there are so many to choose from. Embroidered, sequined, tie-dyed, fringed, some demure, some racy, all so darling, how can little ‘ole size-zero me choose? Answer: buy them all with mogul’s platinum card! Isn’t life fun, girls?
