West Coast Shopping

There's been some great press coverage of the new Diane Merrick store in L.A., which had its official opening party last week. I had a chance to stop by and see the shop just days after it opened in early May, and it really is very cool. I'd met a buyer for the store, Maggie Wachsberger, during India's fashion weeks, and she picked out a great selection of designs from emerging labels like Sabyasachi, Rajesh Pratap Singh and Tarun Tahiliani. Those pieces are just starting to show up in the shop now, so if you're L.A.-bound anytime soon, definitely stop in and take a look. [And keep an eye out for the store's website, which says it's launching soon...]
