Emily Henderson: Interior Designer + HGTV Host, Secrets From A Stylist

Secret Resources From A Stylist

Yes, I am undeniably, Emily Henderson's biggest fan...so much so that I have to admit to getting a little giddy putting together this post! Reason 1: She's a really talented Interior Designer, which is my secret job crush....and it's been fun to see her rise since winning HGTV's Design Star. I also love her point of view and how she helps other people to find their own as well, combining bold, graphic ideas, new pieces and vintage finds. I could site many examples, but you should check out her WEBSITE or show, "Secrets From A Stylist," and see for yourself. Reason 2: She is totally herself....on the show, off the show, when she writes, wherever. She has a unique, honest and fun voice that I just think is cool. Reason 3: She wears these awesome, beat-up boots all the time that I really like...and I think that's a plausible reason. Most importantly, particularly for this post, she is willing to share some really great resources so that we can all get a piece of Emily's shopping style...and perhaps even a chance at channeling her talent for curating, just in time to primp (or pimp) our wardrobes and homes for the holidays.

45 Three Modern Vintage VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: 45 Three Modern Vintage 1051 1/2 South Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles [Fairfax, Mid City]Staci has such an good eye for unpredictable things. She's fashion forward and her store is curated so well. And affordable.
Steven Alan Outpost VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Steven Alan Outpost 1937 1/2 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles [Los Feliz]Here's what happens in my head: "Hey, Emily (says head). Lets just pop into our neighborhood shop after lunch at Alcove. We don't have to buy, just look around. Just a quick little 'pop'. Then $250 later, I walk out. Everything is on sale so its less than the real store and just good.
Lankershim Vintage Stores LOCATION: Lankershim Vintage Furniture Row From 5616-5721 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood [NoHo]Stores like Santiago's, Cruz's, Angel's and Noho Vintage. These are my Mexican brothers. There are actually 5 vintage stores all in a row in North Hollywood, that have trash and treasure. They have some high-end stuff and some not, but I always find unique pieces. They negotiate, they'll deliver and they are super friendly and knowledgable. They are the Mexican vintage furniture mafia because they are all related somehow, and I love them.
Rose Bowl Fleamarket VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Rose Bowl Fleamarket 1001 Rosebowl Drive, Pasadena [Pasadena]My favorite place in the world. I go at sunrise, with coffee, say hi to all my friend/vendors (friendors, if you will) and literally get overwhelmed with excitement of the possibilities of the day. Yes, i think i have a borderline unhealthy emotional relationship with vintage furniture.
Little Doms VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Little Doms 2128 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles [Los Feliz]Best restaurant atmosphere in L.A. GREAT Bloody Marys, fantastic Old Fashioned's and sure, the food is good too.
Inheritance VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Inheritance 8055 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles [Beverly Blvd., Mid City]Mike has an incredibly curated store that is tiny but somehow, I can spend an hour there because there are so many amazing things to pick up and look at. It's home design/accessories/tabletop and completely unique. AND he's affordable - not cheap, but well priced.
The Best Fish Taco In Ensenada VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Best Fish Taco In Ensenadas 1650 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles [Los Feliz]Yes, that is what they call their restaurant - and its accurate. Its on Hillhurst in my neighborhood. Each delicious fish taco is $2, unless you are a cute girl and sometimes they are $1. I have no idea why, and I'm not the only one who has noticed this. It's hilarious.
Mohawk General Store VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Mohawk General Store 4011 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles [Silverlake]This store has amazing jewelry, clothes, furniture, candles, pouches - I want everything here. It's high end, but its worth a pop into, for sure.
The Oaks Gourmet VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: 1915 North Bronson Avenue, Los Angeles [Franklin, Hollywood]This is my tradition every morning (especially when i'm shooting and no time to brew). I get delicious coffee here and the sesame chicken salad for lunch is perfection.
Heath Ceramics VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Heath Ceramics 7525 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles [Beverly Blvd, Mid City]Such a pretty store with everything from beautiful stoneware dishes, amazing pottery by Atwater Pottery, beautiful cheeseboards, tea towels - really anything you need to look and feel like the chicest party host ever.
