BEATRICE VALENZUENA: FLAGSHIP

Beatrice Valenzuela's new Echo Park shop was a wonderful find. I visited the colorful boutique after our walking tour of the Silverlake Stairs last Saturday.

The custom designed shoes - handmade in Mexico City - are the focus of the store. Beatrice's Pinterest message, "searching for beauty everywhere" is showcased in the flagship boutique. The shop is full of unique wares that are displayed like works of art: from the simplest bold buds bursting fuscia from a vase to  crafted ceramic stones displayed in a rustic bowl.
