Beckley Boutique Owner Shares Her Style and Beauty Bests

ELAINE SAYS: Melissa Akkaway has a big black book and could have delivered a few of these lists for us, no problem! Hopefully, we'll hear from her again. In the meantime, I'm loving her fashion and beauty finds and I know you will too. Be sure to visit her at Beckley Boutique on Melrose and maybe she'll slip you an extra insider's tip!

Make Shopping Personal With Stylist, Aly Scott VISIT WEBSITE A stylist and personal shopper that I love to work with is Aly Scott of Stylechic. She's able to assess your closet and give you tips on how to dress for your lifestyle and body. Once she reviews your closet, she then takes you to the top stores to stock up on basics and on trend key items.
Is Aura A Great Boutique? It Is Decidedly So... VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Aura 1528 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica [Santa Monica] A local boutique that I shop at is Aura on Montana. They have very well edited collections and it's nice to shop somewhere close to my home on the West side. It's also fun to see what other boutique owners are doing!
The Drybar Will Blow You Away VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: The Drybar 8595 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood My favorite spot for a quick blow out is The Drybar. It's quick and easy and only $35 - plus the blow out lasts 2 days and only takes 30 minutes!
Put Your Best Face Forward with Luxe Beauty Team VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: The Luxe Beauty Team at Serge Normant (at John Frieda) 8440 Melrose Place, Los Angeles [West Melrose]My go-to for make up is Luxe Beauty Team.

J Brand's Latest Bright Idea VISIT WEBSITE | LOCATION: Beckley Boutique 8620 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood [Weho]A must-have trend item right now is colorful denim.
