Tse You, Tse Me
This just in: Elaine Tse, jewelry designer-slash-girl about town, just took over the lease of that teeny-weeny corner dress shop at the corner of 20th and Walnut (across from random travel agency/tanning salon-looking place, diagonal from natural foods café/lottery-ticket vendor — you know, the shop you never went into because you knew the tiny-ness would obligate you to buy).
This weekend, Elaine is selling off former owner Maria Baros’s merch — cute eyelet tops, bright short-shorts, tiny bikinis, etc. — for $20 and under. Next, she’ll spruce up the boutique (Off with the carpeted shelf! In with space-saving racks! Up with an airy feel that will eradicate all feelings of retail obligation!) and move in her wares — besides her pretty necklaces, earrings, etc., home goods and classic-er clothes. Hurrah! Another reason to shop over my lunch hour(s)!
