Though TENOVERSIX is certainly no infant as far as shopping in Los Angeles is concerned, my occasional visits back to my hometown have seldom offered me enough time to explore all the new shops that have sprouted in the last 7 years since I've moved away from the city. On a stroll along Melrose with my sister (after the requisite lunch at Urth cafe), I hit up some of the neighborhoods mainstays and finally delved into the I-WANT-IT-ALL space at TENOVERSIX. No, but really: I want it all. From incredible
statement shoes to
the. coziest. coat. ever. - I easily could have left the store (and Los Angeles, in general) with an entirely new wardrobe in hand. The space mixes in home decor items curated by
The Future Perfect (conveniently located down the street from my Brooklyn abode) as well as original artwork by
Massimo Vitale, Steven Shein,
Marc Horowitz, and more.
All photos by me. Taken with a 5d/50mm lens.
Alas, somehow I resisted spending the entirety of my savings, at least as far as this trip is concerned. Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you're coming from the perspective of my wallet or my accountant), I can continue to
ogle their wears from afar.

I love total concepts stores when it is nicely done. I fell in love with the adorable bunnies, oh well it is almost Easter. The least you can say about the shoes, is that they are statement shoes. I thought, well they look okay: and then I saw the heel, love it. There is so much going on and everywhere you look you go like: oooohhh and aaaah. I love love clean camp, and the ceramic animals are clean camp.

ReplyDeleteso excited to see your LA POV. I'm a little sad I didnt have any transportation to get around this time. One day we will eventually meet :)
ReplyDeleteI think I just had a shopping-gasm! Or a shoe-gasm? My favorite part about shopping in LA is the fantastic flea markets. I always go a little bit crazy at Melrose flea - and I always spend a little too much money!
