Beau & Aero in Santa Monica


Beau & Aero is the curiously creative collaboration of Baelyn Neff and Jessica Seaton. This new shop in Santa Monica is the place to find vintage clothing, vintage shoes, new designers, handmade jewelry and accessories on the west side. Carefully curated, it is an eclectic combination of vintage finds (cashmere sweaters, ethnic ponchos, Pierre Cardin coats, a 1930s crocodile clutch) and newer jewelry pieces. A necklace from Seaton's own collection has three gilded snake vertebrae charms dangling from a delicate gold chain. Even the walls are adorned with works from locals like painter/illustrator/Incubus front man Brandon Boyd. Artist Jocelyn Marsh's mini dinosaur skeleton sculptures are made with metal molded from tiny bones and embellished with chains and taxidermy bat wings. Checkout the boutique website and see more of the natural and native inspirations of the shop owners.

Santa Monica Place

The long awaited Santa Monica Place finally opened to huge crowds this past weekend. Stores rolled out the red carpets, champagne and a local LA DJ to spin for the special evening festivities. Bloomingdale's held their celebration the previous evening and had a large celebrity showing, including Donna Karen, Barbra Streisand, James Brolin and Diane Keaton. With three packed levels of indoor and outdoor shops and restaurants, this new addition to the southern California shopping experience is truly dynamic. Stores include Barney's CO-OP, BCBG, Fluxus, Joe's Jeans, Kitson, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Tiffany & Co. and many more, with Nordstrom opening August 27th. Along with an open air rooftop patio deck that boasts a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean, some restaurant highlights are La Sandia, Ozumo, Pizza Antica, Sonoma Wine Garden and Xino. Weekly entertainment and events are planned through the fall.
