Emily Current & Meritt Elliott: Celebrity Stylists + Founders, Current/Elliott

Part Two

ELAINE SAYS: Knowing that uber-stylists, Meritt and Emily were enthusiastic enough about their lists to include more than required, I am especially happy to publish, "Part Two". Plus, I couldn't have decided between these gorgeous photos of them, if I tried. In todays installment they share more great style and gift finds but they add a little more "stuff" to their lists, showing their love for specialty books and treasure hunting...and even a couple good one's for the little people in your lives....Enjoy!

EMILY CURRENT: PART TWO

Santa Maria Novella VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Santa Maria Novella 8411 Melrose Place, Los Angeles [Melrose Place]After a weekend visit to the West Hollywood farmers market, I like to pop into this darling apothecary for delicious creams and tonics! All of the fragrance comes from the original Santa Maria novella in Florence, Italy,which still grows its own organic flowers and teas. Plus, the packaging is beautiful and looks amazing on any countertop!
Scout VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Scout 1646 North Cherokee Avenue, Hollywood [Hollywood]This mostly vintage shop has a strong point of view, which is rare. With a nod to the 90’s and a navajo- like arts and crafts feel, Scout manages to exceed my expectations each time I visit.
Empiric Studio VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Empiric Studio 7918 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles [Beverly Blvd, Mid City]Some of the most favorite home décor pieces in my house came from Empiric! It has the perfect mix of found objects, architectural salvage, modern and institutional pieces. It has provided endless inspiration and I bought the most amazing stage light there that fills my living room with golden light! [READ MICHAEL TOWEY'S LIST | OWNER, EMPIRIC STUDIO]

Tavin VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Tavin 1543 Echo Park Avenue, Los Angeles [Echo Park] One of my all time favorite vintage stores, Tavin, is located on the charming, Echo Park Blvd., amongst coffee shops and hair salons. This tiny space is filled with vintage Victorian and ethnic smocks as well as lots of denim!! The owner, Erin Tavin, really has a great eye and recently added a bridal area that is magical!
Mel and Rose Wine VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Mel and Rose Wine 8344 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles [West Melrose]This under the radar wine and liquor shop has such a magnificent selection of wine I rarely go elsewhere. Whenever I am attending a dinner party, I always stop off here for a nice rose and a treat of some sort. Their multi-cultural offerings, from Japanese candies to English biscuits, adds a unique touch to any hostess gift!

MERITT ELLIOTT: PART TWO

Mr. Freedom VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Mr. Freedom 7161 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles [Beverly, Mid City]This unique retail/deign studio fuels me for both work and life. This unlikely brick building quietly resides on Beverly Boulevard and is filled with a huge inventory of vintage clothing, footwear and accessories for men and women from the 1850’s to the present. In addition, they have a splendid offering of rare textiles, vintage books and found objects. Its an awe- inspiring place.
The Rose Garden Tea Room at Huntington Gardens VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: The Rose Garden Tea Room and Cafe 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino [San Marino]A perfect place to feel like Alice in Wonderland. Delicious scones and tea with views of the famous gardens to boot. A delightful Sunday morning ritual.
Landis Labrynth Toy Shop VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Landis Labyrinth 140 North Larchmont Boulevard [Larchmont]This little, "ma and pop" toy store is my daughters favorite haunt in LA. It is quaint and magical, and with some old school toy and game offerings, takes me on a trip down memory lane as well.
Skylight Books VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Skylight Books 1818 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles [Los Feliz]My inner bookworm comes here to explore, inquire, and delight. Bestsellers and independent selections are everywhere, plus cozy nooks to pander to one’s curiosities, make it worth the trip.
West Hollywood Library LOCATION: West Hollywood Library 715 North San Vicente Boulevard, West Hollywood [WeHo]As a longtime Weho resident, I have been waiting for this huge project to be complete. Just remodeled and reopened, the West Hollywood Library is stunning, with commissioned art on the the building side, expansive literary offerings and special guests and events. My family and I love visiting here....and as an added bonus, its attached to a park! [ALSO LISTED BY: ANDREA STANFORD, ONE KINGS LANE]
